Setting the working positions The implement has 4 principal position settings:Setting 0 : Transport positionThis position sets the maximum safety spacSetting 1 : Working positionSet this position when working with a new implement. Settings 2 - 3 : Readjustment positions The working position can be lowered with increased knife and sprung tine wear.Work interruptions:

After the implement has been turned off, the cutting cylinder will continue to rotate for a few seconds. Keep hands and feet well away.

Do not touch the spring tines before the implement has been disconnected from the mains and the spring tines have come to a complete standstill. Risk of injury owing to a sharp implement!

Only remove plant parts when the implement is standing completely still. Ensure that the grass ejector opening is clean and free.

Switch off the power when the implement is to be transported, lifted or tilted and when traversing other surfaces than grass.

Never leave the implement unattended at the place of work. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Always switch off the implement and disc onnect the power plug: - Whenever you leave the implement - Before you clean the ejector opening or unblock or unclog the implement - When the implement is not being used - During all maintenance and cleaning work - When the power cable is damaged or has become tangled - When the implement hits an obstruction during work or when unusual vibrations arise.

The shorter the grass, the better the lawn can be treated. Furthermore, the implement is less stressed and the service life of the cylinder is pro- longed.

The implement can be operated with or without the collection bag. Recommendation: Work with the collec- tion bag for aerating and without the collection bag for verticuting.

Mow the lawn to the required grass height.

may otherwise wind around the scari- equipment.

Select the appropriate working or readjustment position (in the event of cylinder wear) so that the implement is not overloaded.

Commence work in the vicinity of the power socket and proceed away from the socket.

Always ensure that the extension cable is behind you, and after turning move it to the side that has already been treated.

Guide the implement at a walking pace down lanes that are as straight as possible. To ensure uninterrupted aerating or verticuting the individual lanes should always overlap by a few centimetres. Dwelling too long at the same place while the implement is running can damage the grass sward.

To ensure that the extension cable is not an impediment, turn the implement in such a manner that the cable strain relief on the bar always faces the side that has been treated.

Adjust the transport position 0 setting (see “Setting the Working Position”) when transporting the implement.

Lift the implement to transport it over steps and sensitive surfaces (e.g. tiles).

Always clean the implement after each use (see “Cleaning/Maintenance”).

After having treated lawns with dense moss growth, it is advisable to reseed the lawn so that it can regenerate itself quicker. BG ERI WARNING! The cylinder continues to run for a brief period after the implement has been switched off. Do not tilt or carry the implement while the motor is still running and do not touch the cylinder while it is still rotating. Danger of injury! Working with the implement To maintain a well cared-for lawn it should be aerated every 4 to 6 weeks. Verticuting is a more intensive intervention than aerating and should only be carried out once a year, the best time being in spring after the lawn has been mown for When working on slopes always proceed across the slope. Be particularly careful when walking backwards and pulling the implement. Danger of stumbling!
