CAMON LA25 Lawn Aerator
LA25 Lawn Aerator Page 7
Aaching the axles using the lowest posion holes
has the eect of moving the nes closer to the
ground and increasing the depth that the aerator
will penetrate.
The two alternave posioning holes raise the
height of the nes away from the ground and
decrease the depth the nes will penetrate.
Moving from the lowest hole to the middle hole
and to the highest will decrease the depth of the
nes by 10mm each step.
5.6 Tines
Four nes of a similar type must be ed at all mes for
the LA25 operator to funcon correctly.
Each ne must be threaded and secured ghtly into the
ne holder rods. Each ne must be ed with a washer
and spring washer to ensure the ne can be ghtened
suciently into the ne rod.
A 17mm spanner must be used to ghten the nes in
place.
5.7 Solid Spiking Tines & Hollow Coring Tines
The LA25 Aerator is supplied with both 10mm solid spikes
and hollow corer nes. You must always use a consistent
ne type when seng up and operang the Aerator.
Solid nes help nutrients to reach soil roots and improve
drainage.
Hollow nes, in addion to the benets listed for solid
nes, reduce surface compacon by removing a secon
of the soil each me a ne is punched into the soil.
5.8 Commissioning
Prior to operaon it is necessary to check the engine oil level and add engine oil
level to the levels indicated in the table in secon 6.1.
The engine fuel tank will not contain fuel so will need lling to the recommended
level before use.
5.9 GeneralSafetyInstrucons
Be aware of all the safety requirements for the machine.
Visually check the machine for operaonal safety, complete components and xed
guarding prior to each use.

5.0 SafetyInstrucons–Pre-Operaon
5.1 BasicSafetyInstrucons
Before starng the machine, read and understand these operang instrucons.
5.2 MainComponentsandOperangElements
Below is a descripon of the main components of the LA25 Aerator and how they
operate.
5.3 Engine and Drive
The Honda GX160 is a four stroke engine that runs on
standard unleaded fuel.
The engine is air cooled and therefore it is important
that the grille covering the recoil rope is kept clear from
debris.
The engine air lter cleans the air sucked in by the
engine. A clogged air lter will reduce performance.
The engine is ed with a fuel on/o lever and a choke lever. Read the engine
operang instrucons to understand the operaon of these levers.
5.4 OperangLever
The LA25 Aerator nes are engaged by using the lever located underneath the top
of the handlebar.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A TWO STAGE LEVER. THE GREY BUTTON MUST BE
DEPRESSED BEFORE THE MAIN LEVER CAN BE PULLED UP.
Once the drive has been engaged it will transfer the engine power through a
gearbox, to the ne rods that will rotate. The surface penetrang nes are held at
the end of each ne rod and will be pushed into the ground before being withdrawn
as the ne rods rotate.
5.5 Height Adjustment
The depth of the ne penetraon of LA25 Aerator is altered by changing the
posion of the back axles.
Each back axle has three holes by which it can be aached to the main chassis
frame.
