Cleaning, Maintenance, Storage, Transport And Ordering Of Spare Parts - EINHELL GC-SC 2240 P Mode D'emploi D'origine

1. Open the petrol cock (Fig. 7 / Item B). Set the
cock to "ON" for this purpose.
2. Set the choke lever (Fig. 7/Item C) to the
"Choke" position.
Note: Normally the choke is not required to
restart a warm engine.
3. Move the throttle lever (Fig. 1 / Item 7) to the
center position.
4. Press the engine brake lever (Fig. 6 / Item
1) and pull the starter cable (Fig. 7 / Item A)
forcefully until the engine starts.
5. Allow the engine to warm up briefl y and then
set the choke lever (Fig. 7 / Item B) to the
"RUN" Position.
6. The speed of the cutter unit can be controlled
using the throttle lever (Fig. 6 / Item 7) (tortoi-
se = slow / rabbit = fast).
Important: Always pull the starter cable slowly
until you feel the initial resistance before you then
pull it quickly to start the engine. Do not allow the
starter cable to whip back of its own accord.
Important: The scarifi er roller begins to rotate as
soon as the engine is started.
Important! Never open the ejector fl ap when the
motor is running. A rotating cutting unit can cause
injuries.
Always fasten the ejector fl ap carefully. The fl ap
fl ips back to the "Closed" position by the tension
springs!
Always ensure that a safe distance (provided
by the long handles) is maintained between the
user and the housing. Be especially careful when
scarifying and changing direction on slopes and
inclines. Maintain a solid footing and wear sturdy,
non-slip footwear and long trousers. Always sca-
rify along the incline (not up and down).
For safety reasons, the scarifi er may not be used
to scarify inclines whose gradient exceeds 15
degrees.
Use special caution when backing up and pulling
the scarifi er (tripping hazard)!
Adjusting the working depth (Fig. 8)
To set the working depth, push the lever for set-
ting the depth (Fig. 8 / Item 4) gently away from
the device, set the required depth and then lock
the lever back into position.
Important. For transport move the lever for set-
ting the depth to the highest position.

Tips for proper working
It is recommended that you overlap scarifying
paths a little. Try to scarify in straight lines for a
nice, clean look. Insodoing, the aeration swaths
should always overlap each other by a few centi-
meters in order to avoid bare strips.
As soon as grass clippings start to trail the scari-
fi er, 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 fl ap
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 diffi cult 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.

transport and ordering of spare
