Replacing The Power Cable; Cleaning, Maintenance And Ordering Of Spare Parts; Carbon Brushes; Replacing The Spike Drum - EINHELL GC-ES 1231 Mode D'emploi D'origine

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 diffi cult to start the aerator and decrease the
quality of the scarifying.
Always scarify along inclines (not up and down).
Switch off the motor before doing any checks on
the roller.
Danger!
The roller rotates for a few seconds after the
motor is switched off . Never attempt to stop the
roller. In the event that the rotating roller strikes
an object, immediately switch off 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 scarifi ed
grass so that the equipment does not travel over
the cable.

7. Replacing the power cable

Danger!
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

8. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts

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

GB
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.

8.2 Carbon brushes

In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon
brushes checked only by a qualifi ed electrician.
Danger! The carbon brushes should not be rep
laced by anyone but a qualifi ed electrician.
8.3 Maintenance
•
A worn out or damaged cutting unit should be
replaced by an authorised expert (see adress
on the warranty certificate).
•
Take care that all fastening elements (screws,
nuts, etc.) are firmly tightened, so that you
can work safely with the scarifier.
•
Store the scarifier in a dry place.
•
For longer life, all screw-fastened parts, such
as wheels and axles should be cleaned and
subsequently oiled.
•
Regular servicing of the scarifier not only
secures longer endurance and performance,
but also contributes to an accurate and simp-
le scarification of your lawn.
•
At the end of the season, carry out a general
check of the scarifier, and remove all residue
collected. Before the start of every season, it
is absolutely necessary to check the state of
the scarifier. Contact our Customer Service
(see address on the warranty certificate) if
repair work is necessary.

8.4 Replacing the spike drum

For safety reasons, we recommend having the
spike drum replaced by an authorized professio-
nal (see address on warranty certifi cate).

safety under all conditions.
