The fl ap fl ips back to the "Closed" position by
the tension springs! Always ensure that a safe
distance (provided by the long handles) is main-
tained between the user and the housing. Be
especially careful when scarifying and changing
direction on slopes and inclines. Maintain a solid
footing and wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and
long trousers. Always scarify along the incline (not
up and down). For safety reasons, the scarifi er
may not be used to scarify inclines whose gradi-
ent exceeds 15 degrees.
Use special caution when backing up and pulling
the scarifi er (tripping hazard)!
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.
If you use the catch bag which is available as an
option, it has to be emptied as soon as grass clip-
pings start to trail behind during scarifying.
Danger! Before taking off the grass basket,
switch off the motor and wait until the roller
has come to a stop.
To remove the grass basket, lift up the ejector fl 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 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 cutting unit is equipped with moving blades
and will rotate 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 7.3).
Tips on aerating properly with the aerator
roller available as an option.
The way of working for aerating is the same as for
scarifying.
You should therefore observe these safety inst-
ructions and notes on working practice.
7. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Danger!
Always pull out the safety plug before performing
any adjusting, repair, maintenance or cleaning
work on the equipment. Make sure that the spike
drum is not rotating.
7.1 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.
7.2 Maintenance
•
A worn out or damaged cutting unit should be
replaced by an authorised expert.
•
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
