11.3 Operation
General information about operation
• To start the device, the cutting unit must be completely free
to move.
• Only control the device using the push bar. This dictates the
safety distance.
• Keep the exhaust pipe and engine clean.
• Make sure to have a secure footing on slopes.
• Always scarify across slopes.
• Never scarify on steep slopes.
• Only guide the petrol scarifier at walking pace.
• Never tilt or transport the device with the engine running.
• Have this checked by a specialist:
- After hitting an obstacle
- In the event of an immediate standstill of the engine
- If the blade is bent
- If the cutting roller is bent
m ATTENTION!
The cutting roller rotates when the engine is started.
m ATTENTION!
• Never disengage the catch basket when the engine is still
running. The rotating cutting roller may lead to injuries. Al-
ways carefully secure the discharge flap. It folds back and
is closed due to the tension spring!
• The safety distance between the housing and the user given
by the guide rails must always be maintained.
• Special care must be taken when working and changing
direction on embankments and slopes.
• Make sure you have a secure footing, wear shoes with non-
slip, well gripping soles and long trousers.
• Always work across slopes. For safety reasons, slopes with
an inclination of more than 15 degrees must not be scarified
with the device. Exercise particular caution when moving
backwards and pulling the device, risk of tripping!
• Do not operate the device in rain or on a wet lawn.

Advice on how to work properly
• An overlapping working method is recommended when
working. Guide the device in as straight a path as possible
to obtain a clean result. These paths should always overlap
by a few centimetres so that there are no streaks left. As
soon as grass cuttings are left lying behind on the ground
during working, the catch basket must be emptied. Atten-
tion! Before removing the catch basket, switch off the en-
gine and wait for the cutting roller to come to a standstill!
• In order to unhook the catch basket, lift the discharge flap using
one hand and remove the catch basket with the other hand!
• It depends on the grass growth of the lawn and the hard-
ness of the soil as to how often the lawn should be worked.
• Keep the underside of the device clean and remove any
earth and grass deposits. Deposits impede the start-up pro-
cess and impair the quality.
• On slopes, the path should be made perpendicular to the
slope. Switch off the engine before carrying out any checks
on the cutting roller.
• m ATTENTION! The cutting roller continues to rotate for
a few seconds after the engine is switched off. Never try
to stop the cutting roller. If the moving cutting roller hits an
object, switch off the device and wait until the cutting roller
comes to a complete stop. Then check the condition of the
cutting roller. If damaged, it must be replaced.
