Check the area on which the scarifier is to be used carefully and remove any stones, sticks, wire, bones or other foreign objects which could be thrown
by the blades causing damages to the unit.
Before using the unit please always check the coupling of nuts, screws, bolts and check the cutting set not to be worn out or damaged.
Change the full set of the damaged or worn blades in order to keep the tool balancing.

- If fuel has overflowed, do not attempt to start the engine. Move the scarifier away from the area polluted with fuel. Do not attempt to start until the
fuel fumes have evaporated.
- For safety reasons, replace the fuel tank and tank cap if damaged.
- Use an appropriate funnel or filler tube when refuelling to prevent fuel from spilling on the engine, the housing or grass.
