• Water Tank Care:

• If you use the water ballast, be sure to empty the tank and let it dry after each use to avoid water stagnation and rust.

• Grease Bearings:

• Lubricate the bearings periodically with grease to keep the aerator running smoothly and avoid premature wear.

• Tire Maintenance:

• Check the tire pressure regularly to ensure they’re inflated properly. Well-maintained tires make transport easier and prevent damage to the bearings.

• Storage:

• Store the aerator in a dry, sheltered place to protect it from the elements and prevent rust or degradation.
