11 Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the machine.

12 Do not overreach. Do not operate the machine while barefoot or when wearing sandals or similar lightweight footwear. Wear protective footwear that will protect your feet and improve your footing on slippery surfaces.

13 Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the machine in unexpected situations.

14 Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the engine is off before transporting the machine or performing any maintenance or service on the unit. Transporting or performing maintenance or service on a machine with engine on invites accidents.

1. Check the area in which the machine is to be used and remove any stones, sticks, wires, bones and other foreign objects that could be caught and ejected.
2. If devices are operated with a discharge to the rear and open rear rollers without a catcher, complete eye protection must be worn.
3. Do not run the combustion engine in closed rooms in which hazardous carbon dioxide can collect.

Fuel Safety

⚠ WARNING: Petrol is highly flammable

1 Fuel is highly flammable, and its vapors can explode if ignited. Take precautions when using to reduce the chance of serious personal injury.
2 When refilling or draining the fuel tank, use an approved fuel storage container while in a clean, well-ventilated outdoor. Do not smoke, or allow sparks, open flames or other sources of ignition near the area while adding fuel or operating the unit. Never fill fuel tank indoors.
3 Keep grounded conductive objects, such as tools, away from exposed, live electrical parts and connections to avoid sparking or arcing. These events could ignite fumes or vapors.
4 Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before filling the fuel tank. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel while the engine is running or when the engine is hot. Do not operate the machine with known leaks in the fuel system.
5 Loose the fuel tank cap slowly to relieve any pressure in the tank.
6 Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than 12.5mm (1/2" below the bottom of the filler neck to provide space for expansion as the heat of the engine can cause fuel to expand).
7 Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely and wipe up spilled fuel. Never operate the unit without the fuel cap securely in place.
8 Avoid creating a source of ignition for spilled fuel. If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated.
9 Store fuel in containers specifically designed and approved for this purpose.
10 Store fuel in a cool, well-ventilated area, safely away from sparks, open flames or other sources of ignition.
11 Never store fuel or machine with fuel in the tank inside a building where fumes may reach a spark, open flame, or other sources of ignition, such as a water heater, furnace, clothes dryer and the like. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
12. If petrol overflows, no attempts should be made to start the engine. Instead, the machine must be removed from the area contaminated with petrol.

Do not try to start the engine until the petrol vapours have evaporated.

1. For safety reasons, the petrol tank cap and other tank caps must be replaced if damaged.

Instructions for use and maintenance of the machine

1 Never pick up or carry a machine while the engine is running. Stop work tools if crossing surfaces other than grass and when transporting the machine from and to the surface to be worked on.
2 Do not force the machine. Use the correct machine for your application. The correct machine will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
3 Do not change the engine governor settings GB or over-speed the engine. The governor controls the maximum safe operating speed of the engine.
4 Do not run the engine at a high speed when you are not tilling.
5 Never out hands and feet on or under rotating parts. Always keep clear of the discharge opening.
6 Avoid contact with hot fuel, oil, exhaust fumes and hot surfaces. Do not touch the engine or muffler. These parts get extremely hot from operation. They remain hot for a short time after you turn off the unit. Allow the engine to cool before doing maintenance or making adjustments.
7 If the machine should start to make an unusual noise or vibration, immediately shut off the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and check for the cause. Unusual noise or vibration is generally warning of trouble.

7. Before starting the equipment

⚠️ Important!

You must fully assemble the appliance before using it for the first time!

Mounting of the guide rail (Fig. 3 - 9)

• Fit the lower push bar (4) as shown in Figures 3+4. Affix the bar with four hexagonal screws (E,F), two washers (G), two plastic star grip nuts (5) and two locknuts (D).
• Connect the upper push bar (handle) (1) to the lower push bar (4). To do so, use two plastic star grip nuts (5) with the corresponding hexagonal screws (F) and washers (G) (Fig. 5+6)
• Attach the cable pull retainer (B) to the right side of the handlebar as shown in Figure 7.
• Fix the cables with the two cable clamps (A) on the push handle. (Figure 8 + 9)

Mounting the grass catcher (Fig. 10 - 11)

- Lift the ejection flap (Fig. 11 / Item 7) with one hand and hook in the catching basket (Fig. 11 / Item 6) with the other hand on the handle from above. Attention! To hang the grass catcher, the engine must be switched off and the roller must not turn!

Adjusting the scarifying depth (Fig.12)

The scarifying depth is set using the depth adjustment (11). To do this, gently pull the depth adjustment (11) to the left or the right to set the required position. The height can be adjusted infinitely from 0mm to -15mm.

If the transport lever (3) is in the transport position, the blades do not touch the ground.

⚠️ ATTENTION: Move the transport lever (3) (Fig. 12) into the transport position in order to make the roller non-contacting. Only move the scarifier in the transport position when not scarifying/aerating.

Adjusting the aerator roller depth

In order to guarantee faultless operation and avoid damage to the aerator roller, only use the aerator roller with the depth setting "O".

Change the roller (Fig. 19-23)

ATTENTION! Be sure to wear gloves!

Remove the hexagonal screws and the retainer plate. Lift the roller at this end. Pull the roller in the direction of the arrow, out of the drive square.

Slide the new roller in the direction of the arrow back into the drive square and then press it into the bracket. Use the hexagonal screws to fasten the roller back onto the housing.

8. 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

In order to avoid any unintentional start-ups of the engine, it comes equipped with an engine brake (Fig. 1/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.

1. Move the main switch into the "ON" position (Fig. 14/ item a) and then open the petrol valve (item c). Set the cock to "ON" for this purpose.
2. Set the choke lever (Fig. 14/Item A) to the "Choke" position. Note: Normally the choke is not required to restart a warm engine.
3. Press the engine brake lever (Fig. 13) and pull the starter cable (Item 14) forcefully until the engine starts.
4. Allow the engine to warm up briefly and then set the choke lever (Fig. 13 / Item A) to the "RUN" Position.
5. The speed of the cutter unit can be controlled using the throttle lever (Fig. 14 / Item b).
6. Move the transport lever (3) into the working position

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.

Attention: Do not start the engine if the transport lever (3) is in the working position!

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

Scarifying

When scarifying, the grass surface and the grass seam are scratched using the scarifying blade. This removes moss, mulch and weeds, and cuts the fine roots on the top. Therefore, air, light, water ant nutrients reach the grass root better, resulting in the grass growing better and thicker. Furthermore, cutting the fine roots encourages grass growth. This promotes grass durability.

Scarifying should be performed a maximum of twice per year.

Ideally in April/May and/or September/October. Fertilise and water the grass surface after scarifying in order to obtain an even better result.

Aerating

When aerating, the aerator roller removes surface mulch and moss, and "dethatches" the grass. Therefore, air, light, water ant nutrients reach the grass root better, resulting in the grass growing better and thicker. Aerating is gentler on the grass than scarifying but not as effective. The grass may be aerated several times per year (around every 4 weeks).

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. In so doing, the aeration swaths should always overlap each other by a few centimetres in order to avoid bare strips. First scarify lengthways and then widthways in order to obtain a chessboard pattern. 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.

Re-sow sections without grass or with little grass after scarifying.

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.

9. Maintenance and cleaning

Danger!

Always pull out the mains power plug before starting any cleaning work.

Cleaning

- Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.

- We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.

- Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment.

- In order to reduce the risk of fire, keep the engine, exhaust, battery box and the area surrounding the fuel tank free of grass, straw, moss, leaves or escaping grease.

Maintenance

- A worn out or damaged cutting unit should be replaced by an authorised expert.

• Take care that all fastening elements (screws, nuts, etc.) are firmly tightened, so that you can work safely with the scarifier.

- Store the scarifier in a dry place.

- For longer life, all screw-fastened parts, such as wheels and axles should be cleaned and subsequently oiled.

- Regular servicing of the scarifier not only secures longer endurance and performance, but also contributes to an accurate and simple scarification of your lawn.

- At the end of the season, carry out a general check of the scarifier, and remove all residue collected. Before the start of every season, it is absolutely necessary to check the state of the scarifier. Contact our Customer Service if repair work is necessary.

- Check the catcher regularly for wear or damaged parts.

- Check the machine regularly and replace worn out or damaged parts for safety reasons.

- If the fuel tank has to be drained, you must do this outdoors. Store the drained fuel in a special container for fuel or dispose of it with due care.

Servicing the air filter

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. 15+16.
• 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 inflammable 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. 17) with a twist.
• Remove the spark plug using a spark plug wrench (Fig. 18).
• Assemble in reverse order
