This process relieves soil compaction allowing water & nutrients to reach the root system of your lawn.
Aeration also aids in leveling the lawn.

Keep a firm grip on the handles while running the machine & use caution when starting & stopping.
Do not attempt to aerate steep inclines.

Use caution when approaching fences, sidewalks etc.
