3. Brief description of the warning logos (see Fig. 2)

1 = Warning!

Thoroughly read the instructions before starting to use the machine.

2 = Keep other persons (and animals) away from the danger zone.

3 = Wear hearing and eye protection.

4 = Pull the plug out of the power socket before doing any work on the spike drum!

5 = Rotating spike drum

6 = Do not place your hands or feet under the rotating scarifier.

7 = Keep the power cable away from the machine. This will eliminate the risk of the power cable being shredded and destroyed by the rotating tine roller.

4. Proper operation

Power supply

The scarifier can be connected to any light socket (with 220/230 volts of alternating current). However, the socket outlet must have an earthing contact protected by a 16 A circuit breaker. Additionally, a 30 mA residual current circuit breaker should be present!

Power cable

Please only use power cables that are not damaged. The total length of the power cable should not exceed 50 meters; going beyond this distance will reduce the power output of the electric motor. The

power cable must have a cross-section of 3 x 1.5 mm2. The insulating sheath of scarifier power cables is frequently damaged.

Some of the causes for this are:

- Cracking from running over the cable

- Pinching when the power cable is dragging

under doors and pulled through windows

- Cracking due to old age of the insulation

- Kinking by improperly fastening or guiding the power cable

Even though power cables with damaged insulation sheaths pose a lethal hazard, some people still use them. Do not make this mistake!

Cables, plugs and socket couplers must meet the following requirements listed below. Power cables used to hook up lawn aerators must have a rubber insulation sheath.

The power cables must, at the very minimum, be of type HO5RN-F and 3-stranded. The cable type must be printed somewhere on the power cable. Only purchase power cables that are marked as such! Plugs and socket couplers for the power cables must be made from rubber and be splash-proof. There is a limit to how long power cables can be. Longer power cables require larger conductor cross-sections. Power cables and connecting lines must be regularly checked for damage. Ensure that the lines are de-energized before checking them. Completely unwind the power cable. Also check power cable entry points, plugs and socket couplers for kinks.

The Iscarifier is intended for private use, i.e. for use in home and gardening environments.

Scarifiers for private use are machines whose annual operating time generally does not exceed 10 hours, during which the machine is primarily used to maintain small-scale, residential lawns and home/hobby gardens. Public facilities, sporting halls, and agricultural/forestry applications are excluded.

The operating instructions as supplied by the manufacturer must be kept and referred to in order to ensure that the scarifier is properly used and maintained. The instructions contain valuable information on operating, maintenance and servicing conditions.

Important! Due to the high risk of bodily injury to the user, the scarfler may not be used to chop branches or hedge clippings. Moreover, the lawn aerator may not be used as a power cultivator to level out high areas such as molehills.

For safety reasons, the lawn aerator may not be used as a drive unit for other work tools or toolkits of any kind.

5. Assembling the scarifier

The scarifier comes disassembled. The ejector flap and the entire push bar assembly must be assembled and mounted before using the scarifier. Follow the operating instructions step by step and use the pictures provided as a visual guide to easily assemble the machine.

Mounting the lower push bar (see Flgs. 5 and 6 a/b)

- Insert the offset base bars (Fig. 5a, Item A) into the housing holes. Place anti-vibration rubber (Fig. 5a, Item C) between the housing and the base bars!

● Mount the stress-relief clip on the base bars (Fig. 5a, Item D).

● Then mount the lower push bar on the base bars (Fig. 6a).

● Screw together using the supplied saucer-head bolts and star grips.

- Important: The star grips must be fitted on the outside (Fig. 1, Item 5).

● Using the supplied bolts, fasten the two base bars (Fig. 5a, Item A) to the housing (Fig. 5b).

● Finally, press the two supplied rubber caps (Figs. 5a + 5b, Item B) into both bolt holes (Fig. 5a).

Mounting the upper push bar

- Position the upper push bar (Fig. 7) such that its holes line up with the holes of the lower push bar.

- Insert the supplied hex bolts through the holes from the inside out (Fig. 8, point C).

- Insert the supplied plastic parts (Fig. 8, point A) onto the hex bolts with the beveled side facing the pipe.

● Use the supplied star grips to fasten both push bars (Fig. 8, point B).

- Fasten the power cable onthe outside of the push bar pipes using the supplied cable holders (Fig. 10) such that the ejector flap can be opened and closed (Fig. 1, point 7).

- Caution! Make sure that the ejector flap can be opened and closed easily!

GB

6. Adjusting the scarifying depth:

Caution! Before you adjust the scarifying depth, switch off the machine and let the motor come to a complete stop.

● The scarifying depth is adjusted by turning the hubcaps. You can choose from three different depth settings by pulling out and turning the hubcaps (Fig. 4a)
● Figures I, II and III are stamped in the center of the hubcaps.
- When figure "II" is at the bottom, the middle setting is locked in. The scarifying depth is approx. 3 mm.
- The middle setting remains constant when the second figure "Il" is at the bottom (Fig. 4b).
- When figure "III" is at the bottom, the low setting is locked in (Fig. 4c). The scarifying depth is approx. 7mm .
- When figure "I" is at the bottom, the high setting is locked in (Fig. 4d). The scarifying depth is approx. 1mm over the ground. Select depth setting "I" when transporting the scarifier.

Caution!

The hubcaps must always be firmly locked into place!

At the beginning it is best to select depth setting "II". When the scarification spikes have become worn you can then revert to setting "III".

7. Starting up

Connect the power cable to the switch plug/block (Fig. 1 / Item 3) and secure the cable with the cable holder.

Important!

In order to prevent the sacrifier from inadvertently switching on, the switch/plug block is equipped with a two-point switch (Fig. 9, Item 1) that has to be pressed before the lever (Fig. 9/Item 2) can be pulled. The scarifier switches itself off when the lever is released.

Repeat this process several times so that you are sure that the machine functions properly. Before you perform any repair or maintenance work on the machine, ensure that the line roller is not rotating and that the power supply is disconnected.

Important! Never open the ejector flap when the motor is running. A rotating spike drum 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 scarifier may not be used to scarify inclines whose gradient exceeds 15 degrees.

Take special care when backing up and pulling the scarifier (tripping hazard).

8. Tips for proper scarification

ry to scarify in straight lines for a nice, clean look. The scarification swaths should always overlap each other by a few centimeters in order to avoid bare strips.

How frequently you should scarify your lawn is determined primarily by the speed at which the grass grows and the firmness of the soil.

Keep the underside of the scarifier housing clean and remove soil and grass build-up. Deposits make it more difficult to start the scarifier and decrease the quality of the scarification.

Always scarify along inclines (not up and down).

Switch off the motor before doing any checks on the spike drum. Keep in mind that the spike drum continues to rotate for a few seconds after the motor has been switched off. Never attempt to manually stop the spike drum. In the event that the spike drum strikes an object, immediately switch off the scarifier and wait for the roller to come to a complete stop. Then inspect the condition of the spike drum. If the spike drum is damaged, it must be replaced (Fig. 10).

Lay the power cable on the ground in front of the outlet in a looped arrangement.

Scarify away from the outlet or cable and ensure that the power cable always trails in the scarified grass which will prevent the scarifier from traveling directly over the cable.

9. Care and maintenance

Maintenance and cleaning work on the scarifier as well as removal of the safety devices may only be performed when the motor is switched off and the power cable has been pulled.

Wom out or damaged spike drums should only be replaced by an authorized professional (see address on warranty certificate).

Do not clean the scarifier with running water, particularly with high-pressure water.

Ensure that all mounting components (i.e. bolts, nuts etc.) are always tightened so that the scarifier can be safely operated at all times.

Store your scarifier in a dry room. In order to ensure that you enjoy your scarifier for many years to come, all screwed parts, as well as the wheels and axles, should be cleaned and lubricated.

Keeping your scarifier in good condition not only ensures a long lifespan and

high-performance, but also enables the machine to thoroughly scarify your lawn with minimal effort. For best results, clean the scarifier with a brush or rag. Do not use any solvents to remove dirt.

At the end of the season, perform a general inspection of the scarifier and remove any residues which may have accumulated.

At the start of each season, ensure that you check the condition of the scarifier.

If repairs are necessary, please contact one of our customer service centers (see address on warranty certificate).

10. Replacing the spike drum

For safety reasons, we recommend having the spike drum replaced by an authorized professional (see address on warranty certificate).

Important! Wear work gloves!
