CAUTION:  The spike disks have sharp 
points. To avoid injury, use extra care when 
handling the disks and when assembling 
the aerator.
•  Insert the end of the axle through one of the end 
plates. See figure 4.
•  Assemble onto the axle, in order, a short spacer, a 
spike disk and a spring. See figure 4.
NOTE:  All spike disks should face the same direction.
•  Next, starting with a spike disk, assemble seven spike 
disks and six long spacers onto the axle. See figure 4.
•  Finally, assemble a spring, a spike disk and a short 
spacer onto the axle. Push the end of the axle through 
the second end plate. See figure 4.
TOOLS REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLY
(2)  1/2" open or boxed end wrench

Lay out and identify all parts and hardware as shown in
Carton Contents and Hardware Pack illustrations.
•  Assemble the two frame angles (one with the bend 
up and the other with the bend down) to the two end 
plates using eight 5/16" x 3/4" hex bolts and eight 
 
5/16" nylock nuts. Make sure that the frame is squared 
up, and then 
tighten. See figure 1.
•  Using a hammer, drive a spring pin into a hole in the 
axle until the pin just extends through the other side 
of the axle. Next, assemble a flanged bearing onto the
axle as shown. See figure 2.
