16 CARE AND SERVICING OF YOUR SCARIFIER

Regular care is the best way to guarantee a long service life and problem-free
operation. Insufficient equipment maintenance will lead to safety-related faults!
Only use original spare parts because only those guarantee safety and quality!

Cleaning

IMPORTANT
To clean the scarifier and for maintenance work tip it forwards. Secure the
scarifier in the raised position!
Remove all dirt and grass directly after scarifying. Use a brush or cloth to clean.
IMPORTANT
Never clean engine parts (like ignition system, carburettor, etc.) seals and
bearing points with high-pressure cleaner or normal water jet. Damages or
expensive repairs can be the result.

Storage

Always keep the machine in a clean condition in a closed, dry room out of reach of
children. Always allow the engine to cool down before you store the machine in a
closed room.

Transporting and securing the equipment (Illustration N + A1 + N4 )

– In case the equipment has to be carried, hold it on the housing at the front and on
the cross tube of the top part of the handlebar at the back (see Figure N ).
– For space-saving storage or for transportation, the top part of the bar can be folded
down over the engine. To do this, loosen the grip nuts and swivel the top part of
the bar above the engine (see Figure A1 ). Ensure that the cable for motor
operation is not kinked or squeezed. Now hold the housing at the front and the
cross bar of the bottom part of the handlebar at the back for transport.
CAUTION
When folding the bar for transport and storage, the bar may fold over
unintentionally when the grip nuts are released. In addition, beware of
potential crushing spots between the bottom and top parts of the bar. This
may result in risk of injury.
Please take the weight of the machine into consideration before lifting it (see
Technical Data). Lifting large weights can result in health problems.
We recommend that this equipment should always be lifted or carried by at least
two people if other means of help are not available.
When this equipment is transported on a load area, a loading ramp should be used for
loading and unloading.
NOTE
Avoid injuries! Be especially careful when loading or unloading the equipment.
When a trailer is used, we recommend ensuring that it is equipped with stable

sidewalls.
Only the marked points on the transport vehicle may be used to secure the
equipment.
– Transport the unit upright on all 4 wheels to avoid fuel loss, damage to the
equipment and personal injury.
– Park the means of transport on level ground so that the equipment cannot roll
away before it is secured.
– Secure the equipment with approved load-securing devices (e.g. tie-down straps
with clamping elements) on or inside the vehicle. Tie-down straps are belt bands
made of synthetic fibres. Every tie-down strap is marked with a label. The label
contains important details for application. The information on this label must be
heeded when using the tie-down strap.
– For loaded goods that can roll, we recommend using direct strapping with four
lashing straps. For this purpose, the belts are fastened directly on the fastening
points on the equipment (see Figure N4 ) and in the tie-down strapping points on
the loading surface and slightly pre-tensioned.
NOTE
Do not tighten the belts too firmly. Fixing the equipment too firmly can cause
damage.

Maintenance of the blade shaft

Before using the machine, always check the condition and firm seating of the blades.
Worn or damaged blades should be replaced immediately.
WARNING
Always have replacement of the blade shaft carried out by an authorised
workshop. An incorrectly assembled blade shaft can cause parts to become
detached, possibly leading to serious injury.
Only use genuine scarifying cutter blades for replacement. Non-equivalent spare parts
can damage the machine and are a safety hazard.
Replacement scarifying cutter blades must be marked permanently with the name
and/or company logo of the manufacturer or supplier and the part number.

Replacing the drive V-belt

For replacement, use only original drive belts.
Let the V-belt to be replaced only in authorised professional workshop.

Servicing the wheels

The wheels have been lubricated with a durable grease. Maintenance is unnecessary.

17 SERVICING THE ENGINE

WARNING
Avoid injury! Engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide and can cause
serious illness or death.
Do not run an engine in an enclosed area, such as a garage, even with doors and
windows open.
Move the machine to an outside area before starting the engine.
IMPORTANT
To clean the scarifier and for maintenance work tip it forwards. Secure the
scarifier in the raised position!
ATTENTION
When tilting the machine upwards, ensure that no oil or fuel comes out of the
machine. Fire hazard!
The regular implementation of the prescribed maintenance and care work are the
prerequisite for a permanent and fault-free functionality of the motor and also the basic
requirement for any guarantee claims.
The motor should be kept clean, particularly on the outside, and the silencer and
cylinder area must always be kept free from foreign bodies (e.g. grass residue). The
exhaust and motor reach very high temperatures when in use. Flammable foreign
bodies such as foliage, grass etc. may catch fire.
Perfect cooling can also only ensured when cylinder ribs are always clean.
