Important tips for the aeriating
The secret of strong, green and cared for lawns.
Why aeriating?
eriating is part of the most important care measures for a lawn and is a precondition for a healthy and hardwearing green carpet.
In every lawn there is build-up of moss as soon as one year after it was laid due to dead grasses and plant particles. This felt is soon
so dense that it hinders the absorption of nutrients, water and oxygen into the roots or prevents it completely. The result is that the lawn
turns brown, has weak roots, bad growth and is not resistant to disease and dryness, strong growth of weeds and build-up of moss.
Through aeriating this extremely damaging grass felt and also moss and flat-growing weeds are removed and the crusted over
grassroots are loosened up. The lawn can breathe again and absorb nutrients, water and oxygen.
lawn is the result of your efforts.
When and how often should be aeriated?
In principal, aeriating may be carried out during the whole
of the vegetation period, that means, depending on climatic
conditions, from end of pril until September. During this time
the lawn grows and is therefore able to regenerate itself after
aeriating and to reintegrate the cleaned patches. In any case,
an aeriator should be used at least once a year. When the lawn
is used and cut frequently this clean-up should be carried out a
second time, preferably during late summer. This prevents the
establishing of bacteria in the lawn felt during the wintertime.
What should I observe during aeriating?
The grass should be dry, therefore aeriate about 2 days after
the last rainfall. First, cut the lawn to its usual height (30–40
mm). Your lawnmower with grassbox from WOLF cuts the grass
effortlessly and cleanly and saves the raking up of the grass.
When you use an aeriator without grassbox the raked felt must
be brushed off the grass. This can be done effortlessly with the
plastic fan broom Ui-M from WOLF or the lawn rake UH-M.

1. General Notes
• Due to physical danger of the user the aeriator must not be used:
- s motorised hoe
- For the levelling of ground elevations like mole hills
• Never let children or other persons who are not familiar with the
operation of the tool use the aerator. Children under 16 years of age
are not permitted to use the tool.
• Only use the aeriator on dry grass.
• Only work in daylight or appropriate artificial lightning.
2. Before aeriating
•
lways wear suitable clothing; never loose clothing which could be
caught by the cutting tool. Wear suitable footwear! lso protect your
legs (e. g. with long trousers) and your hands (gloves).
•
ttach the deflector and collecting device respectively included in
the delivery. Make sure it is attached securely. The use without or
with damaged devices is not permitted.
• Remove all foreign particles like stones, wood pieces, bones or
similar from the lawn prior to aeriating.
• Check the operating tool for

Keep bystanders
away!
To remove all felt residues once and for all from the lawn
and to cut off the flat lawn shoots which are pulled up by
the aeriator cut the lawn once again with your lawnmower
with grassbox. We strongly recommend feeding your lawn
with super lawnfeed from WOLF immediately after aeriating.
Through this the lawn receives the nutrients which have
been missing for a long time and gains renewed strength.
fter approx. 3 weeks it is once again dense, green and
hard-wearing like never before. During the 2-3 weeks after
aeriating your lawn is quite sensitive to dryness. Therefore, it
should be watered regularly in dry weather during this time; in
the summertime, when the weather is quite warm, this should
be done every 2-3 days.
When you have aeriated your lawn and there are large bald
patches we recommend the Novaplant-System by WOLF to
renew your lawn. This helps you to have a brilliant green,
durable, hard-wearing lawn without having to dig it over first.

lation instructions
• Examine line installed on the outside of the tool and the connection cable for
damage and wear and tear (brittleness). Only use when no damages can be
found.
• Repairs to the cable may only be carried out by a specialist.
• Check the grassbox more often for wear and tear.
• Before adjusting or cleaning of the tool or before checking whether
the connection line has been knotted up or damaged switch off the
tool and pull plug out of the socket.
3. Cable
• Please work with safety cables from WOLF. For the connection only
lines which are not lighter than rubber hose lines H0 7 RN-F with a
minimum diameter of 3 x 1,5 mm
• They must be waterproofmobile decvices that are used outdoors must
be connected via a residual current circuit breaker.
• Use a leakage-protective system (RCD) with a leakage current of
no more than 30 m .
