TRANSPORTING
TRANSPORTING
If a tote trailer will be used to transport the unit, the two
cast weights must be removed from the aerator frame
and a locking shaft installed in their place.
Removing the cast weights and draining the water
drum will decrease the weight for easier loading on a
vehicle or trailer.
To remove the weights, pull up on the latch A securing
the weights B and slide the weights out.
When manually transporting the machine for short
distances:
- Pull up on the transport lift handle so that the tines
are raised.
- Pull back on the clutch control handle (bail) to engage
the drive. The water drum will propel the machine
forward.
Use caution when removing the cast weights.
Each weight is approximately 22 lbs.
NOTE: Be sure to close the fuel shut off valve
before transporting the unit.
REMOVABLE TRANSPORT WHEELS
The rear wheels of the Lawnaire V EST are
removable for transporting the aerator through fence
gates.
With the wheels removed the Lawnaire V will pass
through a 32 inch opening.
With the engine off, lower the aerator so the tines are on
the ground and the wheels are off the ground. Remove
hair pins C from the axles. Slide wheels and axles out
of transport frame.
Lift up on the aerator handle so the tines are off the
ground. With the tines off the ground, push the aerator
through the gate on the front drum. Once on the other
side of the gate, reinstall the wheels.
