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 lawn aerator is intended for private use, i.e. for
use in home and gardening environments.
Lawn aerators 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 lawn aerator is properly used and
maintained. The instructions contain valuable
information on operating, maintenance and servicing
conditions.
Important! Due to the high risk of bodily injury to the
user, the lawn aerator 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 lawn aerator
The lawn aerator comes disassembled. The ejector
flap and the entire push bar assembly must be
assembled and mounted before using the lawn
aerator. Follow the operating instructions step by
step and use the pictures provided as a visual guide
to easily assemble the machine.

Mounting the ejector flap
Align and hold the ejector flap (Fig. 3, point C) to the
guide eyelets (Fig. 5, point C). Push the bolts
(supplied) through the guide holes.
Insert one end of the supplied spring in the guide
eyelet located on the inner side of the panel in the
center and the other end in the hole located on the
outer side of the upper housing section in the center.
The ejector flap must now be able to flip back to the
„Closed" position after being flipped upwards.
Mounting the lower push bar
(see Figs. 5 and 6 a/b)
Insert the offset base bars (Fig. 5, point A) in the
housing holes.
Mount the cable holder on the lower push bar
(Fig. 6a).
Now mount the lower push bar on the base bars
(Fig. 6a).
Using the supplied bolts and cap nuts, fasten the
pipes together.
Important! Mount the cable guide as shown in
Fig. 6b!
Using the supplied bolts, fasten the two base
bars (Fig. 5, point B) to the housing.
Finally, press the two supplied rubber caps into
both bolt holes (Fig. 5, point B).
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 saucer-head screws through
the holes from the outside in (Fig. 8, point C).
Insert the supplied plastic parts (Fig. 8, point A)
onto the saucer-head screws with the beveled
side facing the pipe.
Use the supplied plastic wing nuts to fasten both
push bars (Fig. 8, point B).
Fasten the power cable to the push bar pipes
using the stress-relief clips (Fig. 10) such that the
ejector flap can be opened and closed (Fig. 1,
point 6).
Caution!
Make sure that the ejector flap can be opened
and closed easily!
6. Adjusting the lawn aerator height:
Caution! Before you adjust the aerator height, switch
