Frequently Asked Questions - IEVL 1840 IKRA

How to start the IKRA IEVL 1840 scarifier?

Make sure the device is properly plugged into an outlet with a residual current device (30 mA). Set the switch to the on position (I). Hold the handle firmly with both hands and press the safety button before operating the start trigger. Release the safety button once the motor is running.

What working depth is recommended for scarification?

Set the depth between -5 and +10 mm depending on the lawn condition. For a first scarification, choose a shallow depth (-5 mm) to avoid damaging the grass. Increase gradually if necessary.

How to maintain the scarifier roller blades?

Before any maintenance, unplug the device and wait for the blades to stop completely. Clean the blades with a stiff brush and soapy water. Never use solvents. Check for wear and replace blunt or damaged blades with genuine parts.

Can I use an extension cord with this device?

Yes, only an extension cord approved for outdoor use, with a minimum cross-section of 1.5 mm² up to 25 m and 2.5 mm² beyond. The extension cord must be protected against water splashes and must not be damaged. Keep it away from rotating blades.

What to do if the motor does not start?

Check the power outlet, the power cord, and the extension cord. Make sure the switch is in the on position. If the roller is blocked, remove any obstacles. If the problem persists, contact an electrician or an authorized workshop to check the motor or the belt.

How to change the scarifier roller to an aerator roller?

Unplug the device and wait for it to stop completely. Remove the roller fixing screws using a suitable wrench. Replace with the desired roller and tighten the screws. Check that the roller turns freely before putting the device back into service.

Is the device suitable for large lawns?

Yes, with a working width of 400 mm and an 1800 W motor, it is suitable for medium to large lawns (up to approximately 1000 m²). For very large areas, choose a self-propelled mower.

What is the warranty of the IKRA IEVL 1840?

The warranty is 24 months for private use (presentation of the receipt). In case of commercial or rental use, it is reduced to 12 months. Wear parts (blades, belt) are not covered. Repairs must be carried out by an authorized workshop.

How to store the device in winter?

Clean the device thoroughly, remove grass and moss residues. Store it in a dry place, frost-free and out of reach of children. Allow the motor to cool before storing in an enclosed space. Unplug the cable and coil it without kinking.

Where can I buy spare parts for the IEVL 1840?

Contact IKRA France after-sales service ([e-mail]) or an authorized dealer. Use only genuine parts to ensure safety and performance. Blades, belts and rollers are available on order.

Technical changes reserved.

WARNING: The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.

The vibration emission level will vary because of the ways in which a power tool can be used and may increase above the level given in this information sheet.

The vibration emission level may be used to compare one tool with another.

It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.

An accurate estimate of the vibratory load should also take into account the times when the tool is shut down or when it is running but not actually in use. This may significantly reduce the vibratory load over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
