Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and their proper operation. Know how to stop the machine and disengage the controls quickly.

Make sure to read and understand all the instructions and safety precautions as outlined in the Engine Manufacturer's Manual, packed separately with your unit. Do not attempt to operate the machine until you fully understand how to properly operate and maintain the Engine and how to avoid accidental injuries and/or property damage.

Safety at work area

Never start or run the engine inside a closed area. The exhaust fumes are dangerous, containing carbon monoxide, an odourless and deadly gas.

Operate this unit only in a well ventilated outdoor area. Never operate the machine without good visibility or light. Never operate the machine on a steep slope. Always work transversally, not up and down.

Personal safety

  1. Do not operate the machine while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication that could affect your ability to use it properly.

  2. Dress properly. Wear heavy long pants, boots and gloves. Do not wear loose clothing, short pants, and jewellery of any kind. Secure long hair so it is above shoulder level. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

  3. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.

  4. Safety equipment such as a dust mask, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

  5. Check your machine before starting it. Keep guards in place and in working order. Make sure all nuts, bolts, etc. are securely tightened.

  6. Never operate the machine when it is in need of repair or is in poor mechanical condition.

  7. Replace damaged, missing or failed parts before using it. Check for fuel leaks. Keep the machine in safe working condition.

  8. Never tamper with safety device. Check their proper operation regularly.

  9. Do not use the machine if the engine's switch does not turn it on or off. Any gasoline powered machine that can not be controlled with the engine switch is dangerous and must be replaced.

  10. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from machine area before starting it. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the machine may result in personal injury.

  11. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the machine.

  12. Do not overreach. Do not operate the machine while barefoot or when wearing sandals or similar lightweight footwear. Wear protective footwear that will protect your feet and improve your footing on slippery surfaces.

  13. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the machine in unexpected situations.

  14. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the engine is off before transporting the machine or performing any maintenance or service on the unit. Transporting or performing maintenance or service on a machine with engine on invites accidents.

Fuel Safety

  1. Fuel is highly flammable, and its vapors can explode if ignited. Take precautions when using to reduce the chance of serious personal injury.
  2. When refilling or draining the fuel tank, use an approved fuel storage container while in a clean, well-ventilated outdoor. Do not smoke, or allow sparks, open flames or other sources of ignition near the area while adding fuel or operating the unit. Never fill fuel tank indoors.
  3. Keep grounded conductive objects, such as tools, away from exposed, live electrical parts and connections to avoid sparking or arcing. These events could ignite fumes or vapors.
  4. Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before filling the fuel tank. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel while the engine is running or when the engine is hot. Do not operate the machine with known leaks in the fuel system.
  5. Loose the fuel tank cap slowly to relieve any pressure in the tank.
  6. Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than 12.5 mm (1/2" below the bottom of the filler neck to provide space for expansion as the heat of the engine can cause fuel to expand).
  7. Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely and wipe up spilled fuel. Never operate the unit without the fuel cap securely in place.
  8. Avoid creating a source of ignition for spilled fuel. If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated.
  9. Store fuel in containers specifically designed and approved for this purpose.
  10. Store fuel in a cool, well-ventilated area, safely away from sparks, open flames or other sources of ignition.
  11. Never store fuel or machine with fuel in the tank inside a building where fumes may reach a spark, open flame, or other sources of ignition, such as a water heater, furnace, clothes dryer and the like. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.

Instructions for use and maintenance of the machine

  1. Never pick up or carry a machine while the engine is running.
  2. Do not force the machine. Use the correct machine for your application. The correct machine will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
  3. Do not change the engine governor settings GB or over-speed the engine. The governor controls the maximum safe operating speed of the engine.
  4. Do not run the engine at a high speed when you are not tilling.

  5. Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts

  6. Avoid contact with hot fuel, oil, exhaust fumes and hot surfaces. Do not touch the engine or muffler. These parts get extremely hot from operation. They remain hot for a short time after you turn off the unit. Allow the engine to cool before doing maintenance or making adjustments.
  7. If the machine should start to make an unusual noise or vibration, immediately shut off the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and check for the cause. Unusual noise or vibration is generally warning of trouble.
  8. Use only attachments and accessories approved by the manufacturer. Failure to do so can result in personal injury.
  9. Maintain the machine. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the machine's operation. If damaged, have the machine repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained equipment.
  10. Keep the engine and muffler free of grass, leaves, excessive grease or carbon build up to reduce the chance of a fire hazard.
  11. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
  12. Never douse or squirt the unit with water or any other liquid. Keep handles dry, clean and free from debris. Clean after each use.
  13. Observe proper disposal laws and regulations for gas, oil, etc. to protect the environment.
  14. Store idle machine out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the machine or these instructions to operate it. Machine is dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Instructions for maintenance

Before cleaning, repair, inspecting, or adjusting, shut off the engine and make certain all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire, and keep the wire away from the plug to prevent accidental starting. Have your machine serviced by qualified repair personnel using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the machine maintained.

7. Montage

⚠ Important!

You must fully assemble the appliance before using it for the first time!

Mounting of the guide rail (Fig. 3-9)

  • Mount the lower push bar (4) as shown in pictures 3 + 4. Fix the bracket with four hexagon bolts and the locknuts (E).
  • Connect the upper push bar (handle) (1) to the lower push bar (4). Use the two wing nuts with the respective screws (5) (Fig. 5 + 6).
  • Attach the cable pull retainer (B) to the right side of the handlebar as shown in Figure 7.
  • Fix the cables with the two cable clamps (A) on the push handle. (Fig. 8 + 9)

Mounting the grass catcher (Fig. 10-11)

- Lift the ejection flap (Fig. 11 / Item 7) with one hand and hook in the catching basket (Fig. 11 / Item 6) with the other hand on the handle from above. Attention! To hang the grass catcher, the engine must be switched off and the roller must not turn!

Adjusting the scarifying depth (Fig. 12)

The scarifying depth is set using the depth adjustment (11). To do this, pull the depth adjuster (11) slightly to the right and bring it into the desired position and let it snap into place.

+1 = driving or transport position 0 = 0 mm

-2 = Scarifying depth -5 mm
-3 = Scarifying depth -7.5 mm
-4 = Scarifying depth -10 mm
-5 = Scarifying depth -12,5 mm
-6 = Scarifying depth -15 mm

8. Operation

Important!

The engine does not come with oil in it. Therefore, be sure to add oil before starting the engine. The oil level in the engine must be checked each time before carrying out any work.

Starting the equipment

In order to avoid any unintentional start-ups of the engine, it comes equipped with an engine brake (Fig. 1 / Item 1) which must be pressed at all times whilst the device is in use, otherwise the engine will stop. Important: When the engine brake lever is released it must return to its initial position and the engine must stop. If this is not the case, do not use the equipment again.

  1. Open the petrol cock (Fig. 14 / Item B). Set the cock to "ON" for this purpose.
  2. Set the choke lever (Fig. 14/Item A) to the "Choke" position. Note: Normally the choke is not required to restart a warm engine.
  3. Move the throttle lever (Fig. 13 / Item 3) to the centre position.
  4. Press the engine brake lever (Fig. 13) and pull the starter cable (Item 14) forcefully until the engine starts.
  5. Allow the engine to warm up briefly and then set the choke lever (Fig. 13 / Item A) to the "RUN" Position.
  6. The speed of the cutter unit can be controlled using the throttle lever (Fig. 13 / Item 3).

Important: Always pull the starter cable slowly until you feel the initial resistance before you then pull it quickly to start the engine. Do not allow the starter cable to whip back of its own accord.

Important: The scarifier roller begins to rotate as soon as the engine is started.

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, nonslip 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. In so doing, the aeration swaths should always overlap each other by a few centimetres 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.

9. Cleaning and maintenance

Danger!

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

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.

Maintenance

  • A worn out or damaged cutting unit should be replaced by an authorised expert.
  • 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 if repair work is necessary.

Servicing the air filter

Soiled air filters reduce the engine output by supply too little air to the carburetor.

Regular checks are therefore essential. The air filter should be checked after every 50 hours of use and cleaned if necessary. If the air contains a lot of dust, the air filter should be checked more frequently.

  • Remove the air filter as shown in Fig. 15+16.
  • Clean the air filter only with compressed air or by tapping it.
  • Assemble in reverse order

Important: Never clean the air filter with petrol or inflammable solvents.

Servicing/Replacing the spark plug

Check the spark plug for dirt and grime after 10 hours of operation and if necessary clean it with a copper wire brush. Thereafter service the spark plug after every 50 hours of operation.

  • Pull off the spark plug boot (Fig. 17) with a twist.
  • Remove the spark plug using a spark plug wrench (Fig. 18).
  • Assemble in reverse order.

Preparing the equipment for storage

Caution: Do not empty the petrol tank in enclosed areas, near fire or wen smoking. Petrol fumes can cause explosions and fire.

  1. Empty the petrol tank with a petrol suction pump.
  2. Start the engine and let it run until any remaining petrol has been used up.
  3. Change the oil at the end of every season. To do so, remove the used engine oil from a warm engine and refill with fresh oil.
