Servicing, maintenance and repairs
General information
Please pay special
information.
Regular maintenance is an essential part of ensuring
that your scarifier keeps working properly.
The scarifier shaft in particular and the drive
components require careful maintenance in order to
prevent damage or even accidents.
Before starting any
maintenance work:
- Disconnect the spark plug
cap.
- Position the machine in a
stable position.
- Wait until the engine has
cooled off.
Scarifier shaft
In order to gain access to the scarifier shaft, you will
need to:
- Lift up the scarifier by the handle and tip it over the
front wheels.
- Secure the scarifier in this position so that it cannot
roll away.
- Visually inspect the tines and tine shafts regularly
after every use and check them for wear and
damage.
If necessary, have the tines and/or the tine shaft
replaced by a specialist authorised workshop.
(Fig. 20 )
Regularly lubricate the bearings of the scarifier shaft,
particularly after high-pressure cleaning. To do this you
will need to take off the V-belt guard on the drive side
(10 mm spanner).
