Power cable
Please only use power cables that are not damaged.
The total length of the power cable should not
exceed 50 meters; going beyond this distance will
reduce the power output of the electric motor. The
power cable must have a cross-section of 3 x 1.5
mm 2 . The insulating sheath of scarifier power cables
is frequently damaged.
Some of the causes for this are:
- Cracking due to old age of the insulation
- Kinking by improperly fastening or guiding the
power cable
Even though power cables with damaged insulation
sheaths pose a lethal hazard, some people still use
them. Do not make this mistake!
Cables, plugs and socket couplers must meet the
following requirements listed below. Power cables
used to hook up lawn aerators must have a rubber
insulation sheath.
The power cables must, at the very minimum, be of
type HO5RN-F and 3-stranded. The cable type must
be printed somewhere on the power cable. Only
purchase power cables that are marked as such!
Plugs and socket couplers for the power cables must
be made from rubber and be splash-proof. There is a
limit to how long power cables can be. Longer power
cables require larger conductor cross-sections.
Power cables and connecting lines must be regularly
checked for damage. Ensure that the lines are de-
energized before checking them. Completely unwind
the power cable. Also check power cable entry
points, plugs and socket couplers for kinks.
The lscarifier is intended for private use, i.e. for use
in home and gardening environments.
Scarifiers for private use are machines whose annual
operating time generally does not exceed 10 hours,
during which the machine is primarily used to
maintain small-scale, residential lawns and
home/hobby gardens. Public facilities, sporting halls,
and agricultural/forestry applications are excluded.
The operating instructions as supplied by the
manufacturer must be kept and referred to in order to
ensure that the scarifier is properly used and main-
tained. The instructions contain valuable information
on operating, maintenance and servicing conditions.
Important! Due to the high risk of bodily injury to the
user, the scarifier may not be used to chop branches
or hedge clippings. Moreover, the lawn aerator may

not be used as a power cultivator to level out high
areas such as molehills.
For safety reasons, the lawn aerator may not be
used as a drive unit for other work tools or toolkits of
any kind.
5. Assembling the scarifier
The scarifier is delivered unassembled.
The grass basket 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 equipment.
Mounting the lower push bar (see Figs. 3 and 4)
Insert the U-shaped lower push bar into the
holes in the housing (Fig. 3).
Now you can fasten the lower push bar using the
screws supplied (Fig. 4/Item 2c).
Mounting the upper push bar (see Figs. 5 and 6)
Position the upper push bar (Fig. 5/Item 2b) such
that its holes line up with the holes of the lower
bar.
Insert the screw (Fig. 5/Item 2f) with washer (Fig.
5/Item 2e) through the tubes from the outside.
Screw the handlebars together using a star grip
(Fig. 5/Item 5).
Attach the handlebar opposite.
Using the cable clips supplied (Fig. 6/Item 2d),
attach the power cable on the inside of the tubes
of the push bar, so that it is possible to open and
shut the ejector flap (Fig. 1/Item 7).
Important!
Please ensure that the ejector flap can be
opened and closed easily!
Then fit the cable stress-relief clip (Fig. 7/Item 4)
as shown in Figure 7.
Mounting the height adjustment (see Figs. 8 and
9)
Screw the central rod assembly together with the
pre-mounted upper rod assembly as in Fig. 8.
Important – left-handed thread!
Then screw together with the lower rod assembly
using the screw (Figure 9/Item 8b).
Assembling the grass basket (see Figs. 10-12)
Fit the grass basket parts as shown in Fig. 10.
To fasten the grass basket, pull the rubber clips
over the small frame (Fig. 11).
To hang the grass basket on the scarifier you
