• Fit the lower handles (8) as shown in figures 4+5.
Make sure that the springs (4a/4b) go into the op-
posite groove respectively
• Subsequently tighten the grip screw again (fig. 5).
• Connect the upper push bars (3) with the middle
push bar (6) and the two lower push bars (8). To
do this, use four tensioning levers (5), fastening
screws (5a) and washers (5b). (figs. 6+7)
• Fasten the switch cable with the two cable clamps
(C) to the handle. (fig. 8)
Installing the catch basket
• Slide the catch basket (7) over the frame for the catch
basket and put the rubber tabs over (Fig. 9, 10)
• Hang the catch basket (7) into the device. To do
this, lift the discharge flap (11a) and hang the catch
basket (7) into the appropriate brackets on the de-
vice. (fig. 11)
Adjusting the scarifying depth (fig. 12)
The scarifying depth is set using the depth adjust-
ment (10) on the two front wheels. To do this, gently
pull the depth adjustment (10) away to the left, bring
it to the desired position and let it latch into that po-
sition.
+1 = +6 mm
0 = -3 mm
-1 = Scarifying depth -6 mm
-2 = Scarifying depth -9 mm
-3 = Scarifying depth -12 mm
Adjusting the aerator roller depth
In order to guarantee faultless operation and avoid
damage to the aerator roller, only use the aerator roll-
er with the depth setting "O".
Adjusting the steering bar (fig. 5 + 13)
• First loosen the grip screws (fig. 5), so that you can
adjust the steering bar.
• Set the desired height, as shown in fig. 13. (You
can choose between three levels).
Replacing roller (fig. 14, 15)
m ATTENTION!
Be sure to wear gloves!
Remove the Allen screws and lift the roller on this
end. Pull the roller in the direction of the arrow, out
of the drive square. Slide the new roller in the direc-
tion of the arrow back into the drive square and then
press it into the bracket. Use the Allen screws to fas-
ten the roller back onto the housing.
10. Operation
To prevent accidental start-up of the equipment, the
push-bar (fig. 1 / Item 1) is equipped with a safety
lock-off (fig. 1 / Item 2) which must be pressed before
the lever switch (fig. 1 / Item 1) can be pressed.
22 | GB
If the lever switch is released, the equipment switches
off .
Repeat this process several times so that you are
sure that the machine functions properly. Before you
perform any repair or maintenance work on the ma-
chine, ensure that the cutting unit is not rotating and
that the power supply is disconnected.
m Important!
Never open the ejector flap when the motor is run-
ning. A rotating cutting unit can cause injuries. Al-
ways fasten the ejector flap carefully. The flap flips
back to the "Closed" position by the tension springs!
Always ensure that a safe distance (provided by the long
handles) is maintained between the user and the hous-
ing. 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 scarifier may not be used to scarify
inclines whose gradient exceeds 15 degrees.
Use special caution when backing up and pulling the
scarifier (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.
As soon as grass clippings start to trail the scarifier, it
is time to empty the grass basket.
m 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 flap
with one hand, while unhooking the basket with the
other.
How frequently you should scarify your lawn is deter-
mined 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 difficult 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.
m Danger!
The roller rotates 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, imme-
diately switch off the equipment and wait for the roller
to come to a complete stop.
