Frequently Asked Questions - FLV 1300 A2 FLORABEST

How do I change the cylinder on the Florabest FLV 1300 A2?

Switch off and unplug the device. Wear gloves. Turn the device over. Use the spanner (in tool holder) to loosen the fastening screw, fold the bearing cover away, tilt the cylinder upward, and pull the shaft out. Insert the new cylinder in reverse order.

What is the difference between aerating and verticutting?

Aerating uses sprung tines to rake leaves, moss, and weeds and collect them. Verticutting uses steel knives to cultivate the grass sward and regenerate the lawn. Verticutting is more intensive and should be done once a year in spring.

How do I adjust the working depth?

Press the setting button and turn to the desired position (1-4). Position 0 is transport. Positions 1 is working, 2-4 compensate for wear (approx. 3 mm per step). Do not lower without wear to avoid motor overload.

What should I do if the motor stops during use?

Release the starting lever. This indicates overload protection has tripped. Allow the motor to cool for about 1 minute, then restart. Check for blockage or long grass that may have caused overload.

Can I use the scarifier without the collection bag?

Yes, the impact protector must be completely closed when operating without the collection bag. For aerating, using the bag is recommended; for verticutting, working without the bag is recommended.

How often should I clean the device?

After each use, remove plant residues from wheels, ventilation openings, ejector opening, and cylinder. Do not use water jets or solvents. Keep the device clean and dry.

What extension cable should I use?

Use an approved outdoor extension cable of type H05VV-F or H05RN-F, maximum length 75 m, with a cross-section of at least 2.5 mm². Fully unreel the cable drum.

How do I store the device?

Allow the motor to cool. Store in a dry place out of reach of children. Loosen wing nuts to fold the handle for space-saving storage. Ensure cables are not squeezed.

What spare parts are available and how do I order them?

Spare parts include the verticutter cylinder (Order No. 91097083), aerator cylinder (Order No. 91097053), and collection bag (Order No. 76101302). Order from the service center with the part number.

Is the device suitable for commercial use?

No, the Florabest FLV 1300 A2 is designed for private household use only. Commercial use voids the guarantee.

CAUTION! The following states how to avoid damage to the implement and any resulting harm to people:

Take care of your implement

• Switch off the power when the implement is to be carried across steps.
• Inspect the implement each time before it is to be used. Never operate the im-

plement if safety devices (e.g. impact protector, parts of the cutting facility or bolts are missing, worn out or damaged. Check especially the power cable and starting lever for damage. To avoid imbalance, all tools and bolts must be exchanged as complete sets.

• Only use spare parts and accessories that have been supplied or recommended by the manufacturer. The use of alien parts results in the immediate loss of all guarantee claims.
• Ensure that all nuts, bolts and screws are firmly tightened and that the implement is in a safe working state.
• Never try to repair the implement yourself, other than you have been trained accordingly. All work that has not been listed in these Instructions must only be carried out by authorised servicing agencies.
• Treat the implement with the greatest care. Always keep the tool clean for better and safer work. Follow the maintenance instructions.
• Never overload the implement. Always work within the specified capacity range. Do not use low-power machines for heavy-duty work. Do not operate the implement for purposes for which it is not intended.

Electrical safety:

CAUTION! The following states how to avoid accidents and injuries due to electric shock:

• Before each use, carry out a visual inspection of the power and extension cables for signs of damage or ageing.
• If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a customer service agent of the same or a similarly qualified person in order to prevent hazards.

- Keep the power cable well away from the cutting tools. Should the power cable become damaged during work, then instantly disconnect the power cable from the mains.

DO NOT touch the power cable before it has been disconnected from the mains.

• Keep the extension cables away from the teeth. The teeth may damage the cables and result in contact with live parts.
• Check that the mains voltage is the same as indicated on the rating plate.
• Wherever possible connect the implement to a power socket with a residual-current circuit breaker that has a rated current of not more than 30 mA.
• Avoid body contact with earthed parts (e.g. metal fences, metal posts).
• Only use approved extension cables of the type H05VV-F or H05RN-F with a maximum length of 75 m and which have been approved for open-air use. The stranded cord diameter of the extension cable must be at least 2.5 mm ^2 . Always unreel a cable drum to its full length so that the entire cable can be checked for damage.
• Use the envisaged cable suspension when attaching an extension cable.
• Never pull the cable to disconnect the plug from the socket. Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.
• If the connecting cable is damaged, first disconnect the extension cable from the socket. You can then disconnect the connecting cable of the equipment.
• If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a customer service agent of the same or a similarly qualified person in order to prevent hazards.

Assembling instructions

Prior to any work on the implement always disconnect the plug from the power socket!

Assembling the handle bar

1. Insert the lower bar (8) into the implement case (10) and screw it on with the two Philips screws (28).

2. Secure the two centre bars (15) to the lower bar (8) with the screws and wing nuts (5b).

The two centre bars can be secured in two positions to adjust the handle bar to your height.

1. Hang the cable strain relief (19a) on the upper handle bar (4). Attach the clip ring to the tension adjuster bracket (19b) beneath the cable tension adjuster (19a) on the upper handle (4).

2. Use the screws and wing nuts (5a) to firmly secure the upper handle bar (4) to the two centre bars (15).

3. Fasten the electric cable (16) to the bar with the two cable clamps (14a+b).

Mounting and emptying the collection bag

WARNING: Never operate the implement without the impact protector. Danger of Injury!

Assembling the collection bag:

The collection bag is delivered in a folded state and must therefore be assembled before it is mounted on the implement.

1. Assemble the collection bag rods (22).

2. Slip the plastic straps (24) over the collection bag rods.

Mounting the collection bag on the implement:

1. Lift the impact protector (9).
2. Push the pins (23) on the collection bag rods into the socket in the implement case (10).
3. Release the impact protector so that it holds the collection bag (6) in its position.

Removing and emptying the collection bag:

1. Lift the impact protector (9) and take out the collection bag (6).

Operation

Please observe local regulations concerning noise protection. It is quite possible that local rules and regulations may limit the time of implement operation or even prohibited its use on certain days (e.g. Sundays and holidays), and during certain times of the day (noon, night hours) and in certain areas (e.g. spars, clinics, etc.).

Setting the working positions

The implement has 5 principal position settings:

Setting 0 : Transport position

This position sets the maximum safety spacing between the tool and the floor.

Setting 1 : Working position

Set this position when working with a new implement.

Settings 2 - 4 : Readjustment positions

The working position can be lowered with increased knife and sprung tine wear.

Wear can be identified from an increasingly poor result.

The readjusting depth amounts to approx.

3 mm per setting. Use the millimeter scale readings for fine setting.

When the implement is delivered it is in the Transport Position O setting.

The implement must be switched off to set the working position. Press the setting button

(see A No. 13) down and turn it to the required position until it locks in place (the button immediately rises again).

The setting button is not intended for height adjustment but rather to compensate for wear. Selection of a readjustment position without the corresponding wear can overload the motor and damage the cylinder.

Switching on and off

Before switching on the implement ensure that it is not in contact with any objects. Keep your feet and hands well away from the cylinder and the ejector opening. Danger of injury!

1. Place the implement on a level lawn surface.

2. Form a loop in the end of the power cable and hang it into the strain relief (19a).

3. Connect the implement to the mains voltage.

4. To switch on press the unlocking button on the handle (1) and simultaneously press the starting lever (3). Release the unlocking button (1).

5. To switch off release the starting lever (3).

Overload protection: The motor is automatically switched off when the implement is overloaded. Release the starting lever and reset the implement after a cooling down period of approx. 1 minute.

WARNING! The cylinder continues to run for a brief period after the implement has been switched off. Do not tilt or carry the implement while the motor is still running and do not touch the cylinder while it is still rotating. Danger of injury!

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.

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

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.

GB

• 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.
• 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.
• Commence work in the vicinity of the power socket and proceed away from the socket.
• Always ensure that the extension cable is behind you, and after turning move it to the side that has already been treated.
• 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.
• To ensure that the extension cable is not an impediment, turn the implement in such a manner that the cable strain release on the bar always faces the side that has been treated.

After work and to transport the implement disconnect the power plug and wait until the cylinder is standing still.

• Adjust the transport position 0 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.

Exchanging the cylinder

Switch off the implement, disconnect the mains plug and wait until the cylinder is standing still.

Wear gloves when handling the cylinder.

1. Turn the implement over.

2. Take the spanner (17) out of the holder (see A No. 18).

3. Release the fastening screw (25) and fold the bearing cover (26) away.

1. Tilt the cylinder upwards and pull the shaft (27) out of its seat.
2. Insert the new cylinder by reversing the sequence.

Cleaning, maintenance, storage

Work that has not been de- scribed in these Instructions must be carried out by a serv- icing agency authorised by us. Only use original parts.

Wear gloves when handling the cylinder.

Prior to all maintenance and cleaning work always switch off the implement, disconnect the plug from the power socket and wait until the cylinder is standing still.

General cleaning and maintenance work

Do not jet water onto the implement and do not clean it under flowing water. This would result in the danger of an electric shock and the implement could be damaged.

• When work has finished remove plant residues adhering to the wheels, inside the ventilation opening, the grass ejector opening and the cylinder. Do not use hard or pointed objects for this purpose as they could damage the implement.
  • Completely empty the collection bag.
• Always keep the implement clean. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents.

We cannot be held liable for damage caused by our implements if they were improperly repaired, if non-original parts have been used or if they were used not in keeping with their intended purpose.

Storage

• Store the implement in a dry place well out of reach of children.
• Allow the motor to cool down before placing the implement in a closed room.
• Do not wrap nylon sacks around the implement as this could result in the formation of moisture.

Loosen the wing nuts so that the bar can be folded up for space-saving storage.

Ensure that the cables are not squeezed.

Disposal and protection of the environment

Dispose of the implement, accessories and packaging in an environment-friendly manner.

Electrically-powered appliances must not be disposed of with the domestic waste.

Hand in the spent implement to a recycling centre. The plastic and metal parts can then be sorted out and graded for recycling. Our Service Center will be happy to answer any questions in this respect.
