The shorter the grass, the bet-
ter the lawn can be treated. Fur-
thermore, the implement is less
stressed and the service life of the
cylinder is prolonged.
•
The implement can be operated with
or without the collection bag.
Recommendation: Work with the col-
lection bag for aerating and without
the collection bag for verticuting.
•
Mow the lawn to the required grass
height.
•
Do not use the scarifier in long grass.
It may otherwise wind around the
scarifier blade and result in damage to
the equipment.
•
Select the appropriate working or
readjustment position (in the event of
cylinder wear) so that the implement is
not overloaded.
•
Commence work in the vicinity of the
power socket and proceed away from
the socket.
•
Always ensure that the extension
cable is behind you, and after turning
move it to the side that has already
been treated.
•
Guide the implement at a walking
pace down lanes that are as straight
as possible. To ensure uninterrupted
aerating or verticuting the individual
lanes should always overlap by a few
centimetres. Dwelling too long at the
same place while the implement is
running can damage the grass sward.
•
To ensure that the extension cable is
not an impediment, turn the implement
in such a manner that the cable strain
release on the bar always faces the
side that has been treated.
•
Always clean the implement after each
use (see "Cleaning/Maintenance").

•
After having treated lawns with dense
moss growth, it is advisable to reseed
the lawn so that it can regenerate itself
quicker.
Transport
•
Adjust the transport position + 10 mm
setting (see "Setting the Working Po-
sition") when transporting the imple-
ment.
•
Lift the implement to transport it over
steps and sensitive surfaces (e.g.
tiles).
Cleaning/maintenance
Work that has not been de-
scribed in these Instructions
must be carried out by a servic-
ing agency authorised by us.
Only use original parts.
Wear gloves when handling the
cylinder.
Prior to all maintenance and clean-
ing work always switch off the im-
plement, disconnect the plug from
the power socket and wait until the
cylinder is standing still.
General cleaning and mainte-
nance work
Do not jet water onto the imple-
ment and do not clean it under
flowing water. This would re-
sult in the danger of an electric
shock and the implement could
be damaged.
