Operation (continued)
□ Do not work with this machine on a wet lawn because it tends
to stick to the underbody of the machine, preventing the proper
discharge of collected material, and it could also cause you to
slip and fall.
□ Slowly push the machine forward. Move the machine at
appropriate speed. Do not move it too fast to prevent the
discharge from getting blocked and engine from useless
overloading.
□ 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. 4).

Maintenance
WARNING: Contact with hot components (e.g. motor
housing, gear box, etc.) on the machine may cause burns.
Allow the machine to cool off before handling.
SERVICE AND 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 plug disconnected from the
power supply.
□ 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.
□ 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. During a dry rainless summer do not scarify
a second time in autumn.
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.
□ Check that covers and guards are undamaged and correctly
fitted. Carry out necessary maintenance or repairs before using
the machine.
□ If the cutting 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 component that is subject to most wear is the cutting
device. You should therefore check the condition of the cutting
device and its mounting at regular intervals.
