Best aerating condition is a soft and moist ground. If you are unsure of the ground conditions, as in soil with high clay content, a simple test will determine whether it is necessary to water before aerating. Using a garden hand spade or a large screw driver, you should be able to drive the tool in the ground 2 to 3 inches with little effort. If you are unable to do so, then watering the lawn a day before aerating is necessary.

Trailer towing has the dubious distinction of being the number one loss-liability incident in the equipment rental industry. It has occupied that position practically since the first equipment rental dealers rented the first trailer. Although some equipment rental dealers have decided that the risks of trailer renting are not worth the benefits, the rental industry still offers consumers and contractors a long list of trailers from which to choose.

Chain saws are a frequently rented item and one of the most useful tools in any rental dealer’s inventory. They are also one of the most dangerous tools you can rent. Common sense, combined with safe use of your rented chain saw, will make for a pleasureable and efficient rental experience.

Keep Work Area Clean – Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.

CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT – Don’t expose power tool to rain. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep work areas well lit. Don’t use power tools in presence of flammable liquids or gases.

GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK – Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces (i.e., pipes, radiators, stoves and refrigerators).

KEEP CHILDREN AWAY – Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord. All visitors should be kept away from the work area.

Portable ladders are a common item in nearly every rental inventory. The list of practical uses of ladders is long. Unfortunately, so is the list of accidents associated with unsafe and improper use of ladders. Too often, ladders are taken for granted, with devastating results: Each year ladders cause an estimated 300 deaths and 130,000 injuries requiring emergency medical attention.
