5. Before starting the equipment

The equipment is delivered unassembled. The grass basket and the complete push bar must be assembled and mounted before using the equipment. Follow the operating instructions step-by-step and use the pictures provided as a visual guide to easily assemble the equipment.

Fitting the top push bar holder (Fig. 4a)

Position the upper push bar (Fig. 4a / Item 2) such that its holes line up with the holes of the lower bar. Screw the tubes together, using the screws (Fig. 4a / Item 12) and nuts (Fig. 4a / Item 8) supplied. Use the supplied cable clips (Fig. 4b / Item 11) to secure the throttle cable and the engine Start / Stop cable to the lower push bar.

Fitting the debris box (Fig. 5)

Lift the ejector flap (Fig. 5 / Item 5) with one hand and attach the debris box (Fig. 5/Item 6) to the handle from above using your other hand.

Important: Before you attach the debris box you must ensure that the engine is switched off and the roller is not rotating.

6. 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 (Fig. 6 - 7)

In order to avoid any unintentional start-ups of the engine, it comes equipped with an engine brake (Fig. 6/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.

GB

1. Open the petrol cock (Fig. 7 / Item B). Set the cock to "ON" for this purpose.
2. Set the choke lever (Fig. 7/Item C) to the "Choke" position.

Note: Normally the choke is not required to restart a warm engine.

1. Move the throttle lever (Fig. 1 / Item 7) to the center position.
2. Press the engine brake lever (Fig. 6 / Item 1) and pull the starter cable (Fig. 7 / Item A) forcefully until the engine starts.
3. Allow the engine to warm up briefly and then set the choke lever (Fig. 7 / Item B) to the "RUN" Position.
4. The speed of the cutter unit can be controlled using the throttle lever (Fig. 6 / Item 7) (tortoise = slow / rabbit = fast).

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, non-slip footwear and long trousers. Always scarify along the incline (not up and down).

For safety reasons, the scarifi er may not be used to scarify inclines whose gradient exceeds 15 degrees.

Use special caution when backing up and pulling the scarifier (tripping hazard)!

Adjusting the working depth (Fig. 8)

To set the working depth, push the lever for setting the depth (Fig. 8 / Item 4) gently away from the device, set the required depth and then lock the lever back into position.

Important. For transport move the lever for setting the depth to the highest position.

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. 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.

7. Cleaning, maintenance, storage, transport and ordering of spare parts

Important:

Never work on or touch conducting parts on the ignition unit with the engine running. Always pull the spark plug boot from the spark plug before starting any work of care or maintenance. Never perform any work on the machine while it is running. Any work not described in these Operating Instructions must be performed by an authorized service workshop only.

GB

7.1 Cleaning

The scarifi er should be cleaned thoroughly every time after it has been used. This particularly applies to its underside and the blades. To do so tip the scarifi er slightly on to its side and remove the dirt.

Important. Before you tip the equipment, the petrol tank must be emptied to prevent petrol leaking out. Ideally you should use a conventional petrol extraction pump for this purpose.

7.2 Servicing

Checking the oil level

Set the equipment down on a flat, level surface. Unscrew the oil dipstick by turning it anti-clockwise. The oil level must be as shown in Figure 10.

Important: Never run the engine with no or too little oil. This can cause serious damage to the engine.

Changing the oil

• Change the engine oil every year before the start of the season (in addition to the information in the petrol service manual) when the engine is warm.
  • Use only recommended engine oil.
• Place a suitable oil drip tray beneath the oil drain screw.
• Remove the oil filler screw (Fig. 9 / Item A).
• Undo the oil drain screw (Fig. 9 / Item B) and drain the oil into a suitable container.
• Close the drain screw again when all the used oil has been drained.
• Pour engine oil into the equipment as shown in Figure 10.
• Dispose of the used oil in accordance with applicable regulations.

Care and adjustment of the cables

Oil the cables at regular intervals and check that they move easily.

Servicing the air fi Iter

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

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

• Remove the air filter as shown in Fig. 11-13.
• 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 infl ammable 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. 14) with a twist.
- Remove the spark plug using a spark plug wrench (Fig. 15).
• Assemble in reverse order.

7.3 Preparing the equipment for storage

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

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 refi ll with fresh oil.
4. Remove the spark plug from the cylinder head. Fill the cylinder with approx. 20 ml of oil from an oil can. Slowly pull back the starter handle, which will bathe the cylinder wall with oil. Screw the spark plug back in.
5. Clean the cooling fins of the cylinder and the housing.
6. Be sure to clean the entire machine to protect the paint.
7. Store the machine in a well-ventilated place.

7.4 Preparing the device for transport

1. Drain the petrol tank using a petrol extraction pump.
2. Always let the engine run until it has used up the remainder of petrol in the tank.
3. Empty the engine oil from the warm engine.
4. Remove the spark plug boot from the spark plug.
5. Clean the cooling fins of the cylinder and the housing.
6. Remove the push bars if necessary. Ensure that the cables are not kinked.
