14 Starter cable grip

8 PREPARATION

The following parts are included in the packaging for assembly of the scarifier:
• Scarifier with preassembled handle
• Tool bag with the following contents:
– Operator's manual with Declaration of Conformity
– Warranty conditions (depending on model)
– Spark plug key
– Various fixing parts
In the unlikely event of a missing part, please contact your dealer.
NOTE
Always remove the spark plug connector before fitting the bar and the starter
cable holder. Following assembly, at the latest before starting the engine, push
the spark plug connector back in place.

Attach guide bar (Illustration E1 + X3 + C1 )

IMPORTANT
Make sure that the cables are not pinched, squeezed, twisted or overstretched
when the handlebars are folded apart or collapsed! Always run the cables along
the outside of the bar connection. A damaged cable may result in a technical
defect of the equipment.
– Open out the folded guide bar by pulling upwards.
– When the top and bottom sections of the guide bar are aligned, firmly tighten the
knurled nuts (1) on both sides by hand E1 .
– Use the nuts (2), washers (3) and hexagon bolts (4) from the tool bag X3 .
– Raise the lower guide bar section (5) and place against the upper, centre or lower
bore holes of the previously mounted support (6) in order to set the different bar
angles X3 :
Upper bore hole = Steep bar setting (for taller users)
Lower bore hole = Flat bar setting (for shorter users)
– From the outside and on both sides, insert the hexagon bolts (4) with fitted washer
(3) through the lower bar section (5) and support (6), fit the second washer (3) and
screw into place with the nut (2).
– Firmly tighten all screw connections C1 .

Handle starter assembly (Illustration L1 )

– Remove the starter cable holder (1) from the tool bag.
– Unscrew the nut until the two halves can be pushed over the bar.
– There is a sticker (2) on the top bar showing the position of the starter cable
holder.
NOTE
For reasons of safety, the starter cable holder may only be fitted in the
prescribed position.
– Pull the starter cable (3) out and insert it into the starter cable holder.
– Fit the two halves (4) together and turn them outwards slightly, tighten the nut
again. This prevents the starter cable from popping out.
The starter cable holder must be fitted / aligned in such a way that the starter cable
is freely accessible and does not rub against any other parts.

9 BEFORE USING THE SCARIFIER FOR THE FIRST TIME

Check all screw connections and the spark plug connector for a tight fit. Tighten the
screws if necessary. Special attention must be paid to the assembly and condition of
the cutter blade shaft (refer to the chapter "Cutter blade shaft care").
Always have work on the cutter blade shaft done by an authorised specialist workshop.
If the cutter blade shaft is assembled incorrectly parts can become loose, which can
lead to serious injuries.
The scarifier is equipped with a motor stop device.
Before using the equipment for the first time, make sure that the motor stop safety
control bar is working perfectly. When the control bar is released, the engine and the
cutting tool must come to a standstill (Note! The cutting tool runs on for a while!). If this
is not the case, please consult your nearest authorised workshop.
After release, the bar must always return to the position shown in the "component
description" diagram.
If this is not the case, it must be checked immediately by an authorised workshop.
Safety instruction!
See table for explanation of symbols page 3
Machine safety and protective devices must not be manipulated or disabled!
Make sure that all protective devices have been attached properly and are not
damaged.

Check the oil level and fill with oil (Figure Y1 )

IMPORTANT
Avoid damage! Engine is delivered without oil. You must add oil before running
the engine.
– The scarifier must stand horizontally on level ground.
– Remove any dirt from the oil filling area.
– Take out the dipstick (1) and wipe it off with a clean cloth.
– Insert the new dipstick (1). Do not turn or tighten it.
– Pull out the dipstick (1) and check the oil level. If the oil level is correct, the oil will
reach up to the full mark (2) of the dipstick.
– If the oil level is too low, slowly pour motor oil into the filling hole (3) (for quantity
and quality, see technical data). The oil level should reach up to the lower edge of
the filling hole.
– Insert the dipstick (1) again and tighten.

Filling with fuel

– Only fill the tank with fresh and clean unleaded standard petrol.
Fuel with up to 10% ethanol is acceptable.
– Unscrew tank cap.
– Fill tank with fuel using a funnel up to max. lower edge of filling nozzle.
– Replace tank cap and screw tight.

10 STARTING THE ENGINE (ILLUSTRATION S2 + D + E + Q2 )

Before starting the engine make sure that the cutter blade shaft/the machine is in
the surface cutting position Z2 .
Start the engine from the right-hand side of the scarifier. Always place the scarifier on a
level area which is not covered with high grass (if the grass is too high it will block the
cutter blade shaft start-up and make starting the scarifier more difficult). When the
engine is started, the machine must not be tilted on end, if necessary it must be tilted by
pressing the guide bar down so that the cutting tool is pointing in the direction away
from the user, but only as far as absolutely necessary. As long as the equipment has
not been lowered to the ground again, both your hands must be on the top part of the
bar.
CAUTION
Hold the starter cable handle firmly when starting. The handle may otherwise slip
out of your hand. Risk of injury!
– Open the fuel cock (2) S2 .
– In a cold engine, push the choke lever on the engine (3) in position "Choke"
– Move the throttle control lever (4) backwards to position "Hare". During engine
operation, the throttle control lever should remain in "Hare" position.
– To start the engine, first hold the red button (5) pressed and then pull the control
handle (6) on the top guide tube. During operation, the control handle must remain
held in this position D .
– Slowly pull the starter cable (7) until resistance is felt, then pull it out rapidly, – the
engine begins to run, slowly recoil the cable E .
– Under certain circumstances the starting process must be repeated.
– After the engine has warmed up, push the choke lever (3) forwards in operating
position Q2 .
– In an operationally hot engine, push the choke lever on the engine (3) forwards in
operating position. Start the engine as described above.
– If the engine does not start running, then proceed as when starting a cold engine.

11 SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE (ILLUSTRATION F + Y2 )

– Release the safety control bar (1) F . The engine switches off and the cutting tool
comes to standstill. Attention! The cutting tool runs for a while!
– Close the fuel cock (2) Y2 .
