3 - Use and Care
Maintain the grass mower in good condition by

never exposing it to rain or humidity. When you are
not using the equipment, keep it in a dry place,
protected from bad weather. Water and moisture
can damage motor electrical circuits and cause
oxidation at the base of the machine.
Use the equipment properly - Do not use the aerator

for any work other than those specified for this
equipment.
Take care of your aerator - Keep the blades clean

and in good condition to achieve good functioning,
safe and good work result.
Never put the equipment away with gasoline in the

tank for long periods. If necessary, keep the motor
running until the fuel is depleted, only then store the
machine.
For operator and equipment safety, replace worn or

damaged parts by calling TRAPP's Technical
Support.
Keep safety devices in adequate places and in good

conditions of use.
Do not exceed 15° (fifteen degrees) inclination for

continuous operation, as this will damage the motor
due to insufficient crankcase oil lubrication, which
will void the warranty.
Do not turn the machine on its side or upside down

to prevent oil from leaking to air filter and carburetor.
To perform steering maneuvers during work, the

front wheels must be suspended, thus facilitating
maneuvers and not impairing motor operation.
Do not overuse the equipment. Use it properly and

for the purposes described in this manual for better
performance and safety while working.
Do not allow people that are not familiar with the

equipment to use it. The equipment may become
