power cable must have a cross-section of 3 x 1.5
mm2. The insulating sheath of scarifier power cables
is frequently damaged.
Some of the causes for this are:
- 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 comes disassembled. The ejector flap
and the entire push bar assembly must be assem-
bled 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. 5 and 6 a/b)
Insert the offset base bars (Fig. 5a, Item A) into
the housing holes. Place anti-vibration rubber
(Fig. 5a, Item C) between the housing and the
base bars!
Mount the stress-relief clip on the base bars (Fig.
5a, Item D).
Then mount the lower push bar on the base bars
(Fig. 6a).
Screw together using the supplied saucer-head
bolts and star grips.
Important: The star grips must be fitted on the
outside (Fig. 1, Item 5).
Using the supplied bolts, fasten the two base
bars (Fig. 5a, Item A) to the housing (Fig. 5b).
Finally, press the two supplied rubber caps (Figs.
5a + 5b, Item B) into both bolt holes (Fig. 5a).
Mounting the upper push bar
Position the upper push bar (Fig. 7) such that its
holes line up with the holes of the lower push
bar.
Insert the supplied hex bolts through the holes
from the inside out (Fig. 8, point C).
Insert the supplied plastic parts (Fig. 8, point A)
onto the hex bolts with the beveled side facing
the pipe.
Use the supplied star grips to fasten both push
bars (Fig. 8, point B).
Fasten the power cable onthe outside of the
push bar pipes using the supplied cable holders
(Fig. 10) such that the ejector flap can be opened
and closed (Fig. 1, point 7).
Caution!
Make sure that the ejector flap can be opened
and closed easily!
