Safety instructions
3. When Starting Up
• Only switch on the engine when your feet are at a safe distance to
the cutting tools.
• Do not tilt the scarifier when you actuate the switch unless this is
absolutely necessary. If it is, tilt the scarifier as little as possible
always such that the scarifier remains between you and the blade.
• Do not allow the machine to run in confined surroundings, such as
closed rooms. Danger of poisoning!
• Only operate the machine by daylight or with sufficient artificial lighting.
4. When Scarifying – For Your S FETY:
• Important: Danger! The cutting tool continues to coast after being
switched off!
• Keep the safety clearance provided by the guide braces.
• Never use the machine:
- when the protective devices or shields are damaged
- with the protective devices such as the deflecting device and/or the
catching devices missing.
• Switch on the engine according to instructions and only when your
feet are at a safe distance to the rotating parts.
• On slopes, pay special attention to a safe degree of stability.
• lways walk, and never run.
• lways work crosswise to the slope and never up and down it.
• Special caution is required when you change direction on a slope.
• Do not operate the machine on excessively steep slopes.
• Special caution is required when you drive the machine in reverse or
carry out pulling toward you.
• Turn off the device when it has to be tilted for transport. Do not
operate the cutting tools when crossing areas other than lawns and
the device is being taken to or from the area to be worked on
• Before removing the grass-catcher, turn off the engine and wait until
the working tools coast to a stop.
• Replace any worn or damaged blades as sets. Follow the instruc-
tions for installation. For safety reasons, only use spare part made
by the manufacturer.
• Only when the engine is switched off may any maintenance or
cleaning work be carried out on the scarifier or the protective device
be removed.
• Do not park the scarifier in moist rooms or near open flames.
• If you should ever drive over an obstacle, to be on the safe side, have
the scarifier examined by a specialist (see List of Service Shops).
• Never open the protective shutter when the engine is still running.
• Never drive over gravel with the engine running – danger of flying rocks!
• Important: Handling the grass-catcher improperly may present a
danger.
• Only adjust the working depth with the engine switched off and the
spark plug connector pulled off.
• Turn off the device, pull off the spark plug connector and wail until
the device comes to a stop,
- always when you leave the machine;
- before you clear any blocking;

Before starting up, you have to fill in 0.3 l of the brand-name
oil HD S E 30 up to "max" marking on the dip stick (not
above the marking).
check the oil level.
Before scarifying, always be sure to check the oil level.
Filling in fuel (Fig. B2/B4)
No smoking, and no open flames! Do not tank up with the
engine running. Do not squirt fuel while the engine is warm.
Use lead-free regular petrol (not Super Plus).

- before you examine, clean or work on the device;
- when you have hit a foreign object. Check the device for any
damage and carry out any repairs that might be necessary;
- if the device begins to vibrate unusually (examine immediately).
• Never put your hands or feet near the rotating parts. Do not stand
in front of the grass ejection opening.
• Never ever put your hands or feet near or under the rotating parts.
• With rotating devices, nothing and nobody must be placed in front of
the ejection opening when it is open.
• Never lift the device or carry it away when the engine is running.
• With devices with an ejection opening, the protective equipment
(such as grass-catchers or deflector plate) has to be used.
• Do not touch the engine or exhaust silencer while or shortly after
operation. Hot parts can produce burns or provoke jumpy move-
ments, which might result in injuries.
5. fter Work:
• Do not park the device in a closed room immediately after work, but
rather allow it to cool down outdoors.
• Before leaving the device, pull the spark plug connector and, if
present, take out the ignition key.
• Lifting the device for transport:
- never do so with the engine running, nor when the engine is hot and
only with the spark plug socket pulled out.
• When folding it up, take off the starter rope and be sure the cables
do not get bent
• lways only change the oil with the tank empty and closed, and with
the engine warm.
6. Maintenance:
• Check the catching device frequently for wear or deformation.
• For safety reasons, replace any worn or damaged parts. When
replacing, follow the instructions for installation.
• Maintenance and cleaning work on the device or removing the pro-
tective equipment may only be carried out with the engine stopped
and the spark plug connector pulled off and – if present – the ignition
key taken out.
• If the device has to be tilted for maintenance work, first the fuel has
to be removed from the tank entirely.
• If the fuel tank has to be emptied, this should be done outdoors. Be
sure that no fuel gets spilt.
• Clean the device after every use with a hand brush not with water,
and in particular, do not spray with high pressure. Be sure the cool-
ing fins on the cylinder are clean and that the intakes are clean.
• Do not park the device in moist rooms or near open flames or any-
where where a spark could ignite petrol gases.
• Check all the visible fastening bolts and nuts regularly to be sure
they are snug and tighten them.
• Only use spare parts made by WOLF; otherwise you do not have a
guarantee that your scarifier meets safety regulations.
• Working lever should always be placed in „start" position
(Fig. B3, a)
• Turn hand wheel (Fig. B4) by 8–10 turns to the left (1 x turn
= 1 mm working depth)
• Scarifying test
- start motor
- move working lever s lowly forward (Fig. B3, b)
- Push unit slowly forward into the direction of working
- when hitting foreign object (stone, etc.) or motor stalls
• Switch off motor immediately
- turn hand wheel by 2–3 turns to the right
- test scarifying action again
• The working depth can be adjusted infinitively according to
the condition of the ground and/or the wear of times.
