3. Proper use

The equipment can be used both as a scarifi er and an aerator depending on the intended use. Only a few movements are required to change the roller. The scarifying roller is designed for ripping moss and weeds - complete with their roots - out of the soil and for loosening the soil. As a result your lawn can absorb nutrients better and is clea-

GB

ned. We recommend you to scarify your lawn in the spring (April) and autumn (October). The aerating roller scratches the surface of the lawn, helping water to drain off more easily as well as promoting oxygen intake. Aerate your lawn throughout the growing period.

Warning! Due to the high risk of bodily injury to the user, the equipment may not be used to grind up branch or hedge clippings. Moreover, the equipment may not be used as a power cultivator to level out high areas such as mole hills. For safety reasons, the equipment may not be used as a drive unit for other work tools or tool sets of any kind.

The equipment is to be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse. The user / operator and not the manufacturer will be liable for any damage or injuries of any kind caused as a result of this.

Please note that our equipment has not been designed for use in commercial, trade or industrial applications. Our warranty will be voided if the machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial businesses or for equivalent purposes.

5. Before starting the equipment

Thescarifi er is delivered unassembled. The catch basket, the complete push bar and the rear wheels must mounted before using the scarifi er. Follow the operating instructions step-by-step and use the pictures provided as a visual guide to easily assemble the equipment.

Fitting the push bar brackets (see Figures 4a and 4b)

• Remove the quick-lock lever (Fig. 4a/Item 11) and the washer (Fig. 4a/Item 13).
• Screw the push bar bracket (Fig. 4a/Item 10) onto the fastening screw. Make sure that the curve in the tube (Fig. 4b/Item A) is on the outside.
• Now put the washer back on and tighten with the quick-release lever.

The same tilt angle must be set for both push bar brackets!

Fitting the lower push bar (see Fig. 4c)

• The lower push bar (Fig. 4c/Item 9) must be pushed onto the push bar brackets.
• Now join the tubes together using the screws (Item 12), washers (Item 13) and quick-lock levers (Item 11) supplied.

Fitting the upper push bar (see Fig. 4d to Fig. 4f)

• Position the upper push bar (Fig. 4d/Item 8) such that its holes line up with the holes of the lower bar.
• Now join the tubes together using the screws (Item 12), washers (Item 13) and quick-lock levers (Item 11) supplied.
• Use the cable clips (Item 14) to attach the power cable to the tubes of the push bars so that it is possible to open and shut the ejector flap.
  Please ensure that the ejector flap can be opened and closed easily!

GB

Mounting the catch basket (see Figs. 5a/5b)

• Pull the rubber clips over the metal frame (Fig. 5a).
• To hang the catch basket on the scarifier you must lift the ejector flap (Fig. 5b/Item 5) with one hand and with the other hand take hold of the catch basket by the handle and hook it in place from above.

Danger!

Before you ever hook the catch basket in place you must ensure that the cutting unit is not rotating!

Adjusting the handlebar height (see Fig. 6)

On both sides of the scarifi er undo the quick-lock levers (Fig. 6/Item 11).

The height of the handlebar can be set to position 1 or 2 (Fig. 6) during operation. You must then tighten the quick-release fasteners again.

The same tilt angle must be set on both sides.

6. Operation

Note!

The engine comes without oil and petrol.

Therefore, be sure to add oil and petrol before starting the engine.

1. Check the oil level (see 7.2).
2. Use a funnel and measuring jug to fill the tank with petrol. Make sure that the petrol is clean.

Warning: Never use more than one safety petrol can. Do not smoke when refueling. Switch off the engine before refueling and allow the engine to cool down for a few minutes.

1. Ensure that the ignition cable is connected to the spark plug.
2. The cutting mechanism must move freely in order to start the equipment. Move the depth setting to position 0.

Starting the engine

Omit point 1 and point 2 if the engine has already warmed. Begin the starting procedure at point 3.

1. Pump the fuel pump „Primer1“ (Fig. 9a/Item 16) six times.
2. Pump the cold start pump at the carburetor (Fig. 9b/Item 17) ten times.

3. Pull the engine start/stop lever (Fig. 9c/Item 2).

4. The safety lock-off is deactivated for as long as you pull and hold the engine start/stop lever (Fig. 9d).

5. Start the engine using the reversing starter (Fig. 9e/Item 15). To do this, pull out the handle by approx. 10-15cm (until you feel a resistance) and then start the engine with a sharp tug. If the engine does not start, tug the handle again. Do not allow the handle to whip back of its own accord.
6. Let the engine warm up in idle mode.
7. To stop the engine, simply release the engine start/stop lever.

Important: When the engine start/stop 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.

Warning! The scarifier roller begins to rotate as soon as the engine is started.

Warning! 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 fl ips 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 scarifi er (tripping hazard)!

Adjusting the scarifi er depth (see Fig. 7)

The scarifi er depth is set with the adjustment mechanism. Pull the lever in the direction indicated by the arrow (see Fig. 7) and adjust to the required position (0/1/2/3). Make sure that the lever latches in place correctly!

0 = drive/transport position
1 = scarifi er depth 3 mm
2 = scarifi er depth 6 mm
3 = scarifi er depth 9 mm

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

GB

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.

Warning! 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 fl ap 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.

Warning! 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

Warning!

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.

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.

Notice! 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 the throttle lever in the P position. For a description, see Section 7.3/Point 8.
• Empty the petrol tank with a petrol suction pump and run the engine until the remaining fuel is fully consumed.
• Place an oil drip tray alongside the equipment.
• Open the oil filler plug (Fig. 8a/Item A) and tilt the equipment 90^ .
• The hot oil will flow through the open oil filler opening into the oil drip tray.
  • After the old oil has drained out, set the equipment upright again.
  • Fill up with engine oil as shown in Fig. 8a/b.
• Dispose of the used oil in accordance with applicable regulations.

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 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. 13a/13b.

- Clean the air filter only with compressed air or by tapping it.

GB

• Assemble in reverse order

Warning! 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. 12a) with a twist.
• Remove the spark plug using a spark plug wrench (Fig. 12b).
  • Assemble in reverse order.

Changing the roller (see Fig. 11a-11d)

Be sure to wear work gloves!

Only replace the roller with a genuine Einhell roller, as this will ensure top performance and safety under all conditions.

Remove the two Allen screws (Fig. 11a / Item A). Lift the roller on this side and pull out in the direction of the arrow (Fig. 11b). Slide the new roller in the direction of the arrow (Fig. 11d) onto the square-ended drive (Fig. 11c/ Item A) and press into the holder (Fig. 11d). Use the two Allen screws (Fig. 11a /Item A) to secure the roller again.

Apply grease to the square-ended drive from time to time so that the rollers can be changed easily. If the cutting unit is set unfavorably, the outer blade (Fig. 11b/Item A) may be blocked by the housing. In this case move the roller half a turn forward!

7.3 Preparing the equipment for storage

Danger! 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.
8. The push bar has a P position (Fig. 6) in order to take up less space during storage. To adopt this position you must loosen the quick-release levers by approx. 3 turns to allow for the higher fastening in the parking position. With the bar in this position, the scarifi er can be stood in a corner in minimum space (Fig. 10). When you return the bar to the working position, remember to tighten the quick-release levers again by 3 turns!

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.
