5. Before starting the equipment

The scarifier is delivered unassembled. The grass basket and the complete push bar must be assembled 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.

Fitting the push bar brackets (see Figs. 4 and 5)

• Remove the star screw (Fig. 4/Item 1) and the pressure plate (Fig. 4/Item 2)
• Connect the push bar bracket (Fig. 4/Item 3) to the fastening screw. Ensure that the curve in the tube (Fig. 5/Item 1) is facing outside.
• Now remount the pressure plate and tighten with the star screw. Important. The identical tilt angle must be set for both push bar brackets.

Fitting the lower push bar (see Fig. 6)

• Slide the lower push bar (Fig. 6/Item 1) over the push bar brackets. Do not forget to slide the stress-relief clip (Fig. 6/Item 2) onto the tube beforehand.
  ●Now screw the tubes together using the screws supplied (Fig. 6/Item 3), the plastic sleeves (Fig. 6/Item 4) and the star screw (Fig. 6/Item 5).

Fitting the upper push bar (see Fig. 7)

●Position the upper push bar (Fig. 7) such that its holes line up with the holes of the lower bar.

●Now screw the tubes together using the screws supplied (Fig. 7/Item 1), the plastic sleeves (Fig. 7/Item 2) and the star screw (Fig. 7/Item 3).

●Using the cable clips supplied (Fig. 8), attach the power cable to the tubes of the push bars so that it is possible to open and shut the ejector flap (Fig. 9/Item A).

●Important!

Please ensure that the ejector flap can be opened and closed easily!

Assembling the grass basket (see Figs. 10 and -13)

●Push both frame parts into each other (Fig. 10).
●Pull the grass basket over the metal frame (Fig. 11).
●Pull the rubber clips over the metal frame (Fig. 12).
●To hang the grass basket on the scarifier you must lift the ejector flap (Fig. 13/Item 1) with one hand and with the other hand take hold of the grass bag by the handle and hook it onto the scarifier from above (Fig. 13).

GB

Important!

Before you ever hook the grass basket to the scarifier you must ensure that the motor is switched off and the cutting unit is not rotating.

Adjusting the handlebar height (see Fig. 17)

Loosen the star screw (Fig. 17/Item 1) on both sides of the scarifier by turning several revolutions. Now adjust the handlebar to the desired height.

Important!

The height of the handlebar may be adjusted within the mark (Fig. 17/Item V) during operation. Retighten the star screws.

Important!

The identical tilt angle must be set on both sides.

Adjusting the scarifier depth (see Fig. 14)

The scarifier depth is adjusted at both front wheels via the adjustment mechanism. For this, pull out the adjusting screw and turn the wheel to the left or right into one of the available positions (0/I/II/III).

Important!

The scarifier depth must always be identically set on both sides!

0 = drive/transport position

I = scarifier depth 3 mm

II = scarifier depth 7 mm

III = scarifier depth 9 mm

Electrical connection

The equipment can be connected to any normal socket with 230V AC. It is only acceptable to connect it to a shockproof socket with a 16A circuit breaker. Furthermore, a residual-current-operated protective device with max. 30 mA should be connected upstream.

Power cable

Please only use power cables that are not damaged. The total length of the power cable should not exceed 50 meters; going beyond this distance will reduce the power output of the electric motor. The 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

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.

6. Operation

Connect the machine's power supply cable to the plug (Fig. 15/Item 1) and secure the power cable with the stress-relief clip (Fig 15/Item 2).

Important! To prevent accidental start-up of the equipment, the push-bar (Fig. 16 / Item 1) is equipped with a safety lock-off (Fig. 16 / Item 2) which must be pressed before the lever switch (Fig. 16 / Item 3) can be pressed. 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 machine, ensure that the cutting unit is not rotating and that the power supply is disconnected.

Important! Never open the ejector flap when the motor is running. A rotating cutting unit can cause injuries.

Always 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 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 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.

GB

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.

Important! 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 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 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.

Important!

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, 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 8.4).

Lay the power cable on the ground in loops in front of the power outlet. Scarify away from the power outlet and cable, making sure that the power cable always trails in the already scarified grass so that the equipment does not travel over the cable.

7. Replacing the power cable

If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.

8. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Always pull out the mains power plug before starting any cleaning work.

8.1 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 attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device.

8.2 Carbon brushes

In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon brushes checked only by a qualified electrician. Important! The carbon brushes should not be replaced by anyone but a qualified electrician.

8.3 Maintenance

●A worn out or damaged cutting unit should be replaced by an authorised expert (see adress on the warranty certificate).
●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 subsequently oiled.
●Regular servicing of the scarifier not only secures longer endurance and performance, but also contributes to an accurate and simple scarification of your lawn.
- At the end of the season, carry out a general check of the scarifier, and remove all residue collected. Before the start of every season, it is absolutely necessary to check the state of the scarifier. Contact our Customer Service (see address on the warranty certificate) if repair work is necessary.

To save storage space, the push bar has a P and an A position. (Fig. 17).

●In the P-position, the scarifier can be stored in a corner, to save space (Fig. 18).
●In the A-position, the scarifier can be hung (as shown in Fig 19) on the wall mount included, to save space.
