Try to scarify in straight lines for a nice, clean look.
Insodoing, the aeration swaths should always
overlap each other by a few centimeters in order to
avoid bare strips.
As soon as grass clippings start to trail the scarifier, it
is time to empty the grass basket.
Important! Before taking off the grass basket,
switch off the motor and wait until the roller has
come to a stop.
To remove the grass basket, lift up the ejector flap
with one hand, while unhooking the basket with the
other.
How frequently you should scarify your lawn is
determined primarily by the speed at which the grass
grows and the hardness of the soil.
Keep the underside of the equipment clean and
remove soil and grass build-up. Deposits make it
more difficult to start the aerator and decrease the
quality of the scarifying.
Always scarify along inclines (not up and down).
Switch off the motor before doing any checks on the
roller.
Important!
The roller rotates for a few seconds after the motor is
switched off. Never attempt to stop the roller. In the
event that the rotating roller strikes an object,
immediately switch off the equipment and wait for the
roller to come to a complete stop. Then inspect the
condition of the roller. Replace any parts that are
damaged (see section 8.4).
Lay the power cable on the ground in loops in front of
the power outlet. Scarify away from the power outlet
and cable, making sure that the power cable always
trails in the already scarified grass so that the
equipment does not travel over the cable.

7. Replacing the power cable

If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-
sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid
danger.

8. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Always pull out the mains power plug before starting
any cleaning work.
8.1 Cleaning
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
n
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it
with compressed air at low pressure.
We recommend that you clean the device
n
immediately each time you have finished using it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth
n
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of
the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep
into the device.

8.2 Carbon brushes

In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon
brushes checked only by a qualified electrician.
Important! The carbon brushes should not be rep
laced by anyone but a qualified electrician.
8.3 Maintenance
A worn out or damaged cutting unit should be
n
replaced by an authorised expert (see adress on
the warranty certificate).
Take care that all fastening elements (screws,
n
nuts, etc.) are firmly tightened, so that you can
work safely with the scarifier.
Store the scarifier in a dry place.
n
For longer life, all screw-fastened parts, such as
n
wheels and axles should be cleaned and
subsequently oiled.
Regular servicing of the scarifier not only
n
secures longer endurance and performance, but
also contributes to an accurate and simple
scarification of your lawn.
At the end of the season, carry out a general
n
check of the scarifier, and remove all residue
collected. Before the start of every season, it is
absolutely necessary to check the state of the
scarifier. Contact our Customer Service (see
address on the warranty certificate) if repair work
is necessary.
To save storage space, the push bar has a P and an
A position. (Fig. 17).
In the P-position, the scarifier can be stored in a
n
corner, to save space (Fig. 18).
In the A-position, the scarifier can be hung (as
n
shown in Fig 19) on the wall mount included, to
save space.
