Frequently Asked Questions - 45PRO V SABO

How to start the 45PRO V scarifier?
Open the fuel valve (position S2), set the choke lever to Start if the engine is cold, pull the control lever towards the handlebar, then pull sharply on the starter cord. Once warm, return the choke to the run position.
How to adjust the scarification depth?
Loosen the lock nut on the adjustment screw, then adjust the screw so that the blades penetrate 3 to 5 mm into the ground when the scarifier is in the lowered position. Tighten the lock nut securely.
Which oil to use and how to check the level?
Use SAE 30 or 10W-30 oil, volume 0.6 L. Check the level before each use with the dipstick: the level must reach the upper mark. The engine is delivered without oil, add some before first use.
How to stop the engine in an emergency?
Simply release the safety control lever. The engine and cutting tool will stop gradually. Wait for a complete stop before any intervention.
What are the important safety instructions?
Wear closed-toe shoes, trousers, goggles and hearing protection. Remove objects from the ground before scarifying. Never use the machine without the protective devices. Turn off the engine before any adjustment or cleaning.
How to maintain the air filter?

10 STARTING THE ENGINE (FIGURE S2 + D + E + Q2)

SABO 45PRO V - STARTING THE ENGINE (FIGURE S2 + D + E + Q2) - 1

Safety information!

For explanation of symbols, see the table

on page 3

Before starting the engine make sure that the cutter shaft/the device is in the surface cutting position Z2.

Start the engine from the right-hand side of the scarifier. Always place the scarifier on a level area which is not covered with high grass (if the grass is too high it will block the cutter shaft start-up and make starting the scarifier more difficult). When the engine is started, the machine must not be tilted on end, if necessary it must be tilted by pressing the guide bar down so that the cutting tool is pointing in the direction away from the user, but only as far as absolutely necessary. As long as the device has not been lowered to the ground again, both of your hands must be on the top part of the bar.

CAUTION

Hold the starter cable handle firmly when starting. The handle may otherwise slip out of your hand. Risk of injury!

  • Open the fuel tap (2) S2.
  • If the engine is cold, push the choke lever (3) on the engine to the "Choke" position
  • Move the throttle control lever (4) backwards to position "Hare". During engine operation, the throttle control lever should remain in "Hare" position.
  • To start the engine, pull the safety grip (5) on the top guide bar. During operation, the safety grip must remain held in this position D.
  • Slowly pull the starter cable (7) until resistance is felt, then pull it out rapidly, - the engine begins to run, slowly recoil the cable E.
    – Under certain circumstances the starting process must be repeated.
  • After the engine has warmed up, push the choke lever (3) forwards into operating position Q2.
    In an operationally hot engine, push the choke lever (3) on the engine forwards into operating position. Start the engine as described above.
  • If the engine does not start running, then proceed as when starting a cold engine.

11 SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE (FIGURE F + Y2)

  • Release the safety control bar (1) F. The engine switches off and the cutting tool comes to standstill. Attention! The cutting tool runs for a while!
  • Close the fuel tap (2) Y2.

12 EMERGENCY STOPPING

Release the safety control bar.

  • The cutting tool will stop. Attention! The cutting tool runs for a while!
  • The engine will stop.

ATTENTION

Before every scarifying job, make sure that the engine stop safety control bar is working perfectly:

- When the safety grip is released, the engine must switch off and the cutting tool must come to a standstill (Caution! The cutting tool runs for a while!).

If this is not the case, please consult your nearest authorised workshop.

13 ADJUSTING THE SCARIFYING DEPTH

SABO 45PRO V - ADJUSTING THE SCARIFYING DEPTH - 1

Safety information!

For explanation of symbols, see the table on page 3

The scarifying depth must only be adjusted with the engine switched off!

To work with the scarifier, the scarifier lever is pushed forward into the "Scarify" position T2. This lowers the device with cutter shaft and the blades penetrate the turf.

The working depth depends on the blade wear, and must also be set taking into account the relevant grass and ground conditions.

Always check and adjust the scarifying depth on a level area of lawn.

With the cutter shaft lowered, the blade should just be in contact with the turf. A working depth of up to 3-5 mm is recommended. In the case of a well-tended lawn with soft

ground, the scarifying depth can be set slightly deeper. In case of a very mossy lawn surface, the initial working depth should be slightly less.

Setting (figure V2 + T2 + Z2)

Set the scarifying depth as follows:

  • After loosening the counter nut, set the working depth on the adjusting screw V2 so that the blades of the lowered scarifier (hand lever forward) T2 penetrate approx. 3 to 5mm deep into the ground.
    – Retighten the counter nut after the adjustment.
  • To lift the device from the set working position, move the lever all the way to the back to position "transporting". This does not change the set scarifying depth Z2!

After a few hours of operation, a readjustment of the scarifying depth becomes necessary due to wear. The more intensively you use it, the more wear on the blades. Hard or very dry soils accelerate the wear. In this case, proceed in the same manner for the scarifying depth adjustment as described above.

Safety information!

For explanation of symbols,

see the table on page 3

NOTE

To protect the cutter shaft, avoid tight curves and raise the cutter shaft before turning.

Using the machine on slopes

ATTENTION

The device can be used on banks and slopes with a gradient of up to 46% (25° angle). Any steeper slopes can lead to engine damage.

For safety reasons, however, we urgently recommend you do not exploit this theoretical performance potential. Always make sure you have a firm stance. Manually guided scarifiers should never be used for slopes with a gradient in excess of 26% (15° angle of slope). Stability may be lost!

Checking the oil level

Check the oil level before scarifying (see the chapter Checking the oil level and filling with oil). The scarifier is also fitted with an oil level sensor. If the oil level is too low, the engine is switched off. The oil level sensor does not replace regular checks by the user. Never let the engine run with too little or too much oil. Irreparable damages could occur.

Checking operating safety

The scarifier is fitted with an engine stop device.

Before every scarifying job, make sure that the engine stop safety control bar is working perfectly. When the safety grip is released, the engine and the cutting tool must come to a standstill (Note! The cutting tool runs for a while!). If this is not the case, please consult your nearest authorised workshop.

After release, the bar must always return to the position shown in the "Description of components" diagram.

If this is not the case, it must be checked immediately by an authorised workshop.

Machine safety and protective devices must not be manipulated or disabled.

Make sure that all protective devices have been attached properly and are not damaged.

To avoid danger, check the condition and tight fit of the cutter shaft before every scarifying job (refer to the chapter "Cutter shaft care" for more details). Always have work on the cutter shaft done by a specialist workshop. If the cutter shaft is assembled incorrectly, parts can become loose, which can lead to serious injuries.

Also check device screws and nuts for a firm fit every 10 operating hours and tighten, if necessary.

Make sure the spark plug connector is fitted tightly. Risk of electric shock. Never remove the plug connector with the engine running. Risk of electric shock. Only remove the plug connector if the engine has cooled down. Risk of burns.

If the cutter shaft becomes blocked e.g. by colliding with an obstacle or through foreign objects, have an authorised workshop check whether any parts of the scarifier are damaged or deformed. Always have any necessary repairs done by an authorised workshop too.

If the machine starts to vibrate unusually heavily or to make unusual noises, please have it checked immediately by an authorised workshop.

Time restrictions

The time at which scarifiers may be used varies from region to region. Please ask the relevant authorities before using your scarifier.

Tips on caring for your lawn (figure M)

When using the device, always guide it in straight lines at medium walking speed. Due to the forward direction of rotation of the cutter shaft, only a slight pushing force is required. Depending on the properties of the surface, it may be necessary to hold the scarifier back against the working direction. Avoid moving in tight curves.

On very mossy and weedy lawns, it is advisable to apply the scarifier a second time, at right-angles to the first working direction. Remove the loose grass from the lawn before the second run. Loose grass lying on the lawn will have an adverse effect on the result, put an additional strain on the device and make the work unnecessarily difficult for the user (stronger pushing forces).

Loose materials can best be removed by vacuuming with a TurboStar lawn mower or manual raking.

Cleaning

IMPORTANT

To clean the scarifier and for maintenance work tip it forwards. Secure the scarifier in the raised position!

Remove all dirt and grass directly after scarifying. Use a brush or cloth to clean.

IMPORTANT

Never clean the seals and bearing points of engine parts (like ignition system, carburettor, etc.) with a high-pressure cleaner or normal water jet. Damages or expensive repairs can be the consequence.

Storage

Always keep the device in a clean condition in a closed, dry room out of reach of children. Allow the engine to cool down before you store the machine in closed rooms.

Transporting and securing the device (figure N + A1 + N4)

  • If the device has to be carried, hold it on the housing at the front and on the cross bar of the top part of the guide bar at the back (see figure N).
  • For space-saving storage or for transportation, the top part of the bar can be folded down over the engine. To do this, loosen the knurled nuts and swivel the top part of the bar above the engine (see figure A1). Ensure that the cable for engine operation is not kinked or squeezed. Now hold the housing at the front and the cross bar of the bottom part of the guide bar at the back for transport.
    When folding the bar for transport and storage, the bar may fold over unintentionally when the knurled nuts are released. In addition, this may result in crushed points between the top and bottom of the bar. This may result in risk of injury.
    Please take the weight of the machine into consideration before lifting it (see Technical Data). Lifting large weights can result in health problems. We recommend that this device should always be lifted or carried by at least two people if other means of help are not available.

CAUTION

When the device is transported on a load area, a loading ramp should be used for loading and unloading.

ATTENTION

Avoid injuries! Be especially careful when loading or unloading the equipment. When a trailer is used, we recommend ensuring that it is equipped with stable sidewalls.

Only the marked points on the transport vehicle may be used to secure the device.

  • Transport the device upright on all 4 wheels to avoid fuel loss, damage to the equipment and personal injury.
  • Park the means of transport on level ground so that the device cannot roll away before it is secured.
  • Secure the device with approved load-securing devices (e.g. tie-down straps with clamping elements) on or inside the vehicle. Tie-down straps are belt bands made of synthetic fibres. Every tie-down strap is marked with a label. The label contains important details for application. The information on this label must be heeded when using the tie-down strap.
  • For loaded goods that can roll, we recommend using direct strapping with four lashing straps. For this purpose, the belts are fastened directly on the fastening points on the device (see figure N4) and in the tie-down strapping points on the loading surface and slightly pre-tensioned.

ATTENTION

Do not tighten the belts too firmly. Fixing the device too firmly can cause damage.

Maintenance of the cutter shaft

Before using the machine, always check the condition and firm seating of the blades. Worn or damaged blades must always be replaced.

WARNING

Always have replacement of the cutters carried out by an authorised workshop. If the cutter shaft is assembled incorrectly, parts can become loose, which can lead to serious injuries.

Only use genuine scarifier cutter blades for replacement. Non-equivalent spare parts can damage the machine and are a safety hazard.

Replacement scarifier cutters must be marked permanently with the name and/or company logo of the manufacturer or supplier and the part number.

Replacing the drive V-belt

For replacement, use only original drive belts.

IMPORTANT

To clean the scarifier and for maintenance work tip it forwards. Secure the scarifier in the raised position!

ATTENTION

When tilting the machine upwards, ensure that no oil or fuel comes out of the machine. Fire hazard!

The regular implementation of the prescribed maintenance and care work are the prerequisite for a permanent and fault-free functionality of the engine and also the basic requirement for any guarantee claims.

The engine should be kept clean, particularly on the outside, and the silencer and cylinder area must always be kept free from foreign bodies (e.g. grass residue).

The engine and exhaust reach very high temperatures during operation.

Flammable foreign bodies such as leaves, grass etc. may catch fire.

Perfect cooling can also only be ensured when cylinder ribs are always clean.

IMPORTANT

Never use a pressure cleaner or ordinary water jet to clean the engine.

Damages or expensive repairs can be the consequence.

Oil change (figure Y1 + Y2 + Y)

NOTE

For environmental reasons, we recommend that the oil change is performed by an authorised workshop.

The first oil change in a new engine is required after approx. 5 operating hours. Later, it should be done every 50 operating hours or at least once per season. Check the oil level regularly. Check the oil level every 8 hours or prior to starting the engine.

- Before the engine or the device is tilted to drain oil, empty the petrol tank and let the engine run until it stops due to lack of fuel.

- Stop the engine and remove the spark plug connector (1) Y.

- Close the fuel tap (2) Y2.

- Change the oil as long as the engine is warm.

- To change the oil, undo the oil drain screw (4) Y1

- Tilt the scarifier so that the used oil can drain into a container. Do not drain used oil into the sewage system or soil; dispose of it according to the local regulations.

  • Position the scarifier straight and insert the oil drain screw (4) again and tighten Y1.
  • Fill with fresh engine oil (see chapter Checking the oil level and filling with oil, figure Y1).

Cleaning and replacing the air filter (figure W)

IMPORTANT

Never let the engine start or run whilst the air filter is removed.

  • Loosen the nut (1) on the air filter cover (2) and remove the cover.
  • Remove the fastening nut (3) and remove the filter (4). Remove the pre-filter (5) from the paper filter element.
  • Clean the paper filter element every 25 operating hours. If slightly dirty, knock the dirt off; if very dirty or damaged, replace it. Do not blast out the paper filter using compressed air. Do not grease it.

- Clean the pre-filter every 25 operational hours. Wash the pre-filter in hot water with liquid detergent, rinse it out, press out excess water and allow it to dry thoroughly in air. Do not lubricate the pre-filter with oil.

- Insert the dry pre-filter on the paper filter element. When doing so, ensure that the seal (6) on the air filter plate (8) is sitting at the centre of the stud bolt (7).

- Insert the paper filter element with mounted pre-filter onto the stud bolt (7) and air filter plate (8). Pay attention to ensure that the filter engages safely with the filter plate. Fasten the filter with the nut (3).

- Put the cover (2) on the air filter and fasten it with the nut (1) on the air filter plate (8).

In the case of unfavourable operation conditions (severe formation of dust), cleaning is required after every scarifying procedure. Replace the paper filter element and pre-filter annually.

(Please see original spare parts and accessories for order no. of filter element and pre-filter)

Cleaning the deposit cap (figure W1)

  • Close the fuel tap (1).
  • Remove the deposit cap (3) and the O-ring (2).
  • Clean the deposit cap (3) and the O-ring (2) every 100 operating hours or every 6 months with a non-flammable solvent and then dry them.
  • Place the O-ring (2) in the fuel valve. Install the deposit cap (3). Tighten the deposit cap (3).
  • Open the fuel tap (1) and check for leaks. If there is a leak, replace the O-ring (2).

Checking the spark plug (figure Y)

To check for wear, remove the spark plug connector (1) and unscrew the spark plug (2). If the electrode is badly worn, the spark plug must be replaced as a matter of course (for order no. see original spare parts list and accessories).

Otherwise it is sufficient to clean the spark plug with a steel brush and set the electrode gap to between 0.70 and 0.80 mm. Screw the spark plug (pay attention to sealing ring) into the engine by hand and tighten using the socket wrench. Press on spark plug connector. Replace the spark plug annually.

Correct winter storage of the engine (or when not used for a long period of time)

  • Empty the petrol tank and let the engine run until it stops due to lack of fuel.
  • Place the petrol collection container with hopper under the carburettor W2
  • Remove the carburettor drain plug (4) and deposit cap (3) and open the fuel tap (1) W2.
  • Once all the petrol has drained out, tighten the deposit cap (3) and carburettor drain plug (4). Ensure that the O-ring (2) and seal (5) are both mounted W2.
  • Stop the engine and remove the spark plug connector (1) Y.
  • Close the fuel tap (2) Y2.
  • Drain the oil and fill with fresh motor oil as long as the engine is still warm (see the chapter Oil change).
