Working with the implement

To maintain a well cared-for lawn it should be aerated every 4 to 6 weeks.

Verticuting is a more intensive intervention than aerating and should only be carried out once a year, the best time being in spring after the lawn has been mown for the first time.

Grizzly BRV 400 S - Working with the implement - 1

When working on slopes always proceed across the slope. Be particularly careful when walking backwards and pulling the implement. Danger of stumbling!

Grizzly BRV 400 S - Working with the implement - 2

The shorter the grass, the better the lawn can be treated. Furthermore, the implement is less stressed and the service life of the cylinder is prolonged.

  • The implement can be operated with or without the collection bag.
    Recommendation: Work with the collection bag for aerating and without the collection bag for verticuting.
  • To ensure that the collision guard flap closes properly, remove any earth that may have collected on the collision guard springs and/or the housing. When working without the bag, check that the collision guard flap is tightly closed.
  • Mow the lawn to the required grass height.
  • Do not use the scarifier in long grass. It may otherwise wind around the scarifier blade and result in damage to the equipment.
  • Select the appropriate working or readjustment position (in the event of cylinder wear) so that the implement is not overloaded.

GB

  • Guide the implement at a walking pace down lanes that are as straight as possible. To ensure uninterrupted aerating or verticuting the individual lanes should always overlap by a few centimetres. Dwelling too long at the same place while the implement is running can damage the grass sward.
  • Adjust the transport position setting (see "Setting the Working Position") when transporting the implement.
  • Lift the implement to transport it over steps and sensitive surfaces (e.g. tiles).
  • Always clean the implement after each use (see “Cleaning, Maintenance, Storage”).
  • After having treated lawns with dense moss growth, it is advisable to reseed the lawn so that it can regenerate itself quicker.

  • Use suitable and authorised containers for storing fuel.
  • Keep the equipment in a dry place that is protected from dust and out of reach of children.
  • For space-saving storage, the upper handle bar can be folded down (see small image C) Release the wing nuts and fold down the handle bar so the equipment takes up less space. The Bowden cables must not be squashed when doing this.
  • Do not wrap the equipment in nylon bags as damp and mould could form

Storage During Longer Breaks from Operation

Grizzly BRV 400 S - Storage During Longer Breaks from Operation - 1

Non-observance of the storage instructions may cause starting problems or permanent damage as a result of fuel residues in the carburettor.

  • Empty petrol tank in a well-ventilated place.
  • Empty carburettor: For this purpose, start motor and leave it running until the motor stops. Let motor cool down.
  • Change the oil (see “changing the engine oil”).
  • Preserve the engine:

- Unscrew the spark plug (see "cleaning and maintenance" - Change/adjust spark plug;

- Pour a tablespoon of engine oil through the spark plug hole into the engine compartment;

- Pull the starter cord slowly several times with the safety catch pulled in order to distribute the oil inside the engine;

- Screw the spark plug tight.

- Dispose of used oil and petrol residues in an ecofriendly manner (see "disposal / environmental protection").

Grizzly BRV 400 S - Storage During Longer Breaks from Operation - 2

There is no need to drain the petrol tank if a fuel stabiliser is added to the petrol.

Disposal / Environmental Protection

- Return the tool, accessories and packaging to a recycling centre when you have finished with them.

  • Carefully drain the petrol and oil tanks and take your equipment to a recycling centre. The plastic and metal parts that are used can be separated by type and thus recycled.
  • Take used oil and petrol residues to a disposal point and do not pour them into the sewer system or down the drain.
  • Please contact your Grizzly dealer.

  • Defective units returned to us will be disposed of for free.

  • Do not throw cut grass in the dust-bin but rather compost it or spread it under bushes and trees as a mulch layer.

Guarantee

  • The guarantee period for this equipment is 2 years from the date of purchase and it is applicable only for the initial buyer. This equipment is not suitable for commercial use. Commercial use will invalidate the guarantee.
    • The guarantee does not include:

- Damage caused by natural wear, overloading or improper use.

- Equipment employed for commercial use.

- Damages arising as the result of non-compliance with the operating instructions or if the cleaning intervals have not been observed.

- Equipment on which technical interventions have been undertaken.

  • Other damages excluded from the warranty are motor damages caused by using the wrong fuel or a wrongly mixed fuel as well as all damage to the machine caused by insufficient lubrication.
  • The following parts are subject to normal wear and therefore not covered by the guarantee: cutter, spark plugs, air filter, fuel filter, starter cord.
  • Please do not send equipment to our service points without prior agreement by telephone, as you could otherwise incur costs for non-acceptance.
  • Attention: Please do not hand in defective appliances with fuel or oil still in the tanks. Always empty the tanks beforehand. Material damage (oil/fuel escaping when the appliance is put on the side or held upside down!) or fire damage during transport will be at the sender's expense.
  • The repair or replacement of the equipment will neither result in extension of the guarantee period nor the commencement of a new guarantee period for the equipment or any replacement parts installed as a result of this work. This also applies if on-site service is used.
  • Defective units returned to us will be disposed of for free.

The stated vibration emission value was measured in accordance with a standard testing procedure and may be used to compare one power tool to another.

The stated vibration emission value may also be used for a preliminary exposure assessment.

Grizzly BRV 400 S - Petrol scarifier......BRV 400 S - 1

Warning: The vibration emission value may differ during actual use of the power tool from the stated value depending on the manner in which the power tool is used.

Safety precautions aimed at protecting the user should be based on estimated exposure under actual usage conditions (all parts of the operating cycle are to be considered, including, for example, times during which the power tool is turned off and times when the tool is turned on but is running idle).

Noise and vibration values were determined according to the standards and stipulations mentioned in the declaration of conformity.

Technical and optical changes can be carried out in the course of further development without notice. All dimensions, references and information of this instruction manual are therefore without guarantee.

Legal claims, which are made on the basis of the instruction manual, cannot thus be considered as valid.
