How to Adjust the Throttle Speed on a Lawn Aerator

Adjusting the throttle speed on a lawn aerator will likely require several attempts. Fortunately, the adjustment location is near the handle of the aerator. When adjusting the throttle speed, make small adjustments rather than big adjustments. This will prevent over adjusting, which can cause damage to the aerator. A good throttle speed will keep your aerator running efficiently. Does this Spark an idea?

      Engage the clutch to determine if the throttle speed is correct. If the clutch engages too soon the engine will stall, which will require raising the engine speed. If the engine speed is too high, you will not be able to use the gradual start feature.
