Information concerning noise emission measured
according to relevant standards:
Sound pressure LpA = 85,4 dB(A)
Sound power LWA = 98 dB(A)
Uncertainty KPA = 2 dB(A)
Wear ear-muffs. The impact of noise can cause
damage to hearing.
Vibrations:
Vibration Ahv (left/right) = 6,74 m/s2
Uncertainty KPA = 1.5 m/s2
Keep the noise emissions and vibrations to a mini-
mum.
• Only use appliances which are in perfect working or-
der.
• Service and clean the appliance regularly.
• Adapt your working style to suit the appliance.
• Do not overload the appliance.
• Have the appliance serviced whenever necessary.
• Switch the appliance off when it is not in use.
• Wear protective gloves.
Before starting the equipment
Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply
make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical
to the mains data.
Warning!
The scarifier is delivered unassembled. The grass bas-
ket and the complete push bar must be assembled and
mounted before using the scarifier. Follow the operating
instructions step-by-step and use the pictures provided
as a visual guide to easily assemble the machine.
Montage
n
Important!
You must fully assemble the appliance before using
it for the first time!
Mounting of the guide rail (Fig. 3 - 9)
•
Mount the lower push bar (4) as shown in pictures
3 + 4. Fix the bracket with four hexagon bolts and
the locknuts (E).
•
Connect the upper push bar (handle) (1) to the
lower push bar (4). Use the two wing nuts with the
respective screws (5) (Fig. 5 + 6).
•
Attach the cable pull retainer (B) to the right side of
the handlebar as shown in Figure 7.
•
Fix the cables with the two cable clamps (A) on the
push handle. (Figure 8 + 9)
Mounting the grass catcher (Fig. 10 - 11)
•
Lift the ejection flap (Fig. 11 / Item 7) with one hand
and hook in the catching basket (Fig. 11 / Item 6)
with the other hand on the handle from above. At-
tention! To hang the grass catcher, the engine must
be switched off and the roller must not turn!

Adjusting the scarifying depth (Fig.12)
The scarifying depth is set using the depth adjustment
(11). To do this, pull the depth adjuster (11) slightly to the
right and bring it into the desired position and let it snap
into place.
+1 = driving or transport position
0 = 0 mm
-1 = Scarifying depth -2,5 mm
-2 = Scarifying depth -5 mm
-3 = Scarifying depth -7,5 mm
-4 = Scarifying depth -10 mm
-5 = Scarifying depth -12,5 mm
-6 = Scarifying depth -15 mm
Operation
Important!
The engine does not come with oil in it. Therefore,
be sure to add oil before starting the engine. The
oil level in the engine must be checked each time
before carrying out any work.
Starting the equipment
In order to avoid any unintentional start-ups of the
engine, it comes equipped with an engine brake
(Fig. 1/Item 1) which must be pressed at all times
whilst the device is in use, otherwise the engine
will stop. Important: When the engine brake lever is re-
leased it must return to its initial position and the engine
must stop. If this is not the case, do not use the equip-
ment again.
1.
Open the petrol cock (Fig. 14 / Item B). Set the
cock to "ON" for this purpose.
2.
Set the choke lever (Fig. 14/Item A) to the "Choke"
position. Note: Normally the choke is not required
to restart a warm engine.
3.
Move the throttle lever (Fig. 13 / Item 3) to the cen-
tre position.
4.
Press the engine brake lever (Fig. 13) and pull the
starter cable (Item 14) forcefully until the engine
starts.
5.
Allow the engine to warm up briefly and then set
the choke lever (Fig. 13 / Item A) to the "RUN" Posi-
tion.
6.
The speed of the cutter unit can be controlled using
the throttle lever (Fig. 13 / Item 3).
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 scarifier roller begins to rotate as soon
as the engine is started.
Important! Never open the ejector flap when the motor
is running. A rotating cutting unit can cause injuries.
Always fasten the ejector flap carefully. The flap flips
back to the "Closed" position by the tension springs!
Always ensure that a safe distance (provided by the long
