- Cracking from running over the cable
- Pinching when the power cable is dragging
under doors and pulled through windows
- 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 machine.
Mounting the lower push bar (see Figs. 3 and 4)
Insert the U-shaped the 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 A.) The holes for the
screws are located beneath the ejector flap (Fig.
1/Item 7).
Mounting the upper push bar (see Figs. 5 and 6)
Position the upper push bar (Fig. 5) such that its
holes line up with the holes of the lower bar.
Insert the carriage bolt (Fig. 5/Item B) from
outside through the tubes.
Mount the plastic part onto the screw (Fig. 5/Item
C) with the rounded side to the tube and screw
together using the star grip (Fig. 5/Item D).
Attach the handlebar opposite.
Using the cable clips supplied (Fig. 6/Item E),
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!
Mounting the height adjustment (see Figs. 7 and
8)
Screw the central rod assembly together with the
pre-mounted upper rod assembly as in Fig. 7.
Then screw together with the lower rod
assembly. For this, the screw must first be
loosened (Fig. 8/Item F) and the central rod
assembly connected with the lower rod
assembly.
Assembling the grass basket (see Figs. 9 and 11)
The grass basket is already partly pre-
assembled. All you need do is to insert the small
frame into the bar frame (Fig. 9/Item G).
To fasten the grass bag, pull the rubber clips
over the small frame (Fig. 10).
To hang the grass basket on the scarifier you
must lift the ejector flap (Fig. 1/Item 7) with one
hand and with the other hand take hold of the
