• Work in slight overlapping rows. The most effective pattern
for scarifying/raking lawns is straight lines along one of the
sides. This will keep the rows even and ensures that all the
lawn is scarified/raked without missing any spots (Fig. 10).

• Circle around flower beds. When reaching a flower bed
in the middle of the lawn, make a row or two around the
circumference of the bed.
• Pay special attention when changing direction.
Scarifying
Consider the weather when scarifying. Scarify the lawn with an
increased depth setting during spring time between April and
May as the lawn is better able to recover during this season.
During a wet summer scarify again in late summer with a
decreased depth setting. Do not scarify during periods of hot
weather condition.
Raking
In order for a healthy lawn to develop in the spring, it is
necessary for greater amounts of air to penetrate the area
around the roots of the grass. We recommend aerating the
lawn every 4 – 6 weeks depending on the state of your lawn.
Maintenance
m
WARNING!
Before carrying out any repairs or servicing
work, you must ensure that the batteries have been removed
from the compartment. Repairs and maintenance work other
than described within this instruction manual should be
performed only by qualified specialist!
Service + Storage
To ensure long and reliable service, carry out the following
maintenance regularly. Servicing and cleaning work on the
machine and the removal of the guards may only be carried
out after the motor has been switched off and the batteries
been removed from the compartment.
• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the
product is in a safe working condition.
• Allow the product to cool before storing in any enclosure.
• Check the thatch collection bag frequently for wear or
deterioration.
• Examine the product regularly and replace worn or
damaged parts for safety.
• Check that covers and guards are undamaged and
correctly fitted. Carry out necessary maintenance or
repairs before using the machine.
• If the device should happen to fail despite the care taken
in manufacturing and testing, repair should be carried out
by an authorized repair facility.
• Do not clean the machine while it is running.
• Ensure that all the fastening elements (screws, nuts, etc.)
are tight at all times so that you can safely work with the
machine.
• Check the machine frequently for signs of wear. Replace
worn or damaged parts.
• Store your machine in a dry place. To ensure a long
service life all screws and bolts should be cleaned and
then oiled.
• Clean the machine with a brush or cloth. Do not use any
solvents or water to remove dirt.
• The components that are subject to most wear are the
scarifying cylinder and the raking cylinder. You should
therefore check the condition of the cylinders and the
mounting at regular intervals.
– If the cylinders are worn or blunt they must be replaced
immediately.
– If the machine starts to suffer from excessive vibrations,
this means that the cutting device has not been
balanced correctly or has suffered deformation due to
impacts. In this case it must be repaired or replaced.
Battery + Charger Off-Season Storage
1. Do not expose your battery packs or charger to water,
rain or allow them to get wet. This could permanently
damage the charger and the battery packs. Do not use oil
or solvents to clean or lubricate your battery packs as the
plastic casing can become brittle and crack, causing a
serious risk of injury.
2. Store the battery packs and charger at room temperature
away from moisture. Do not store in damp locations where
corrosion of terminals may occur. As with other battery
pack types, permanent capacity loss can result if the pack
is stored for long periods of time at high temperatures
(over 120ºF/49ºC).
3. 24V iON+ lithium-ion battery packs maintain their charge
during storage longer than other battery pack types. As a
general practice, it is best to unplug the battery charger
and remove the battery packs when they are not in use.
Recharge the battery packs every 6 months to 50%
capacity (2 lights on) during off-season storage to maintain
optimal battery performance.
