Tips for proper working
It is recommended that you overlap scarifying
paths a little.
Try to scarify in straight lines for a nice, clean look.
Insodoing, the aeration swaths should always
overlap each other by a few centimeters in order
to avoid bare strips.
As soon as grass clippings start to trail the scari-
Þ er, it is time to empty the grass basket.
Important! Before taking o the grass basket,
switch o the motor and wait until the roller
has come to a stop.
To remove the grass basket, lift up the ejector ß ap
with one hand, while unhooking the basket with
the other.
How frequently you should scarify your lawn is
determined primarily by the speed at which the
grass grows and the hardness of the soil.
Keep the underside of the equipment clean and
remove soil and grass build-up. Deposits make it
more di cult to start the aerator and decrease the
quality of the scarifying.
Always scarify along inclines (not up and down).
Switch o the motor before doing any checks on
the roller.
Important!
The roller rotates for a few seconds after the
motor is switched o . Never attempt to stop the
roller. In the event that the rotating roller strikes
an object, immediately switch o the equipment
and wait for the roller to come to a complete stop.
Then inspect the condition of the roller. Replace
any parts that are damaged (see section 8.4).
Lay the power cable on the ground in loops in
front of the power outlet. Scarify away from the
power outlet and cable, making sure that the
power cable always trails in the already scariÞ ed
grass so that the equipment does not travel over
the cable.

7. Replacing the power cable

If the power cable for this equipment is damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
after-sales service or similarly trained personnel
to avoid danger.
8. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Always pull out the mains power plug before star-
ting any cleaning work.
8.1 Cleaning
•
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it with compressed air at low
pressure.
•
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished
using it.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these could at-
tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu-
re that no water can seep into the device. The
ingress of water into an electric tool increases
the risk of an electric shock.
•
The cooling air supply is equipped with an air
filter to prevent soiling of the motor compart-
ment. Clean the air filter each time after using
it. The cover (Fig. 24/Item A) can be swung
forward and unhooked by pressing on the lug
(Fig. 24/Item B). Clean the air filter by tapping
it. When inserting, make sure that the two nibs
(Fig. 25/Item C) hook into the corresponding
recesses in the housing. The cover can then
be swung up and closed. Make sure that the
cover closes correctly; if not, filtering cannot
be guaranteed.

8.2 Carbon brushes

In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon
brushes checked only by a qualiÞ ed electrician.
Important! The carbon brushes should not be rep
laced by anyone but a qualiÞ ed electrician.
