Assembling the unit
Illustrations at the end of the
instructions or in a supplementary
sheet show you how to assemble
your unit in a few steps and make
it ready for use. You will find the
assembly sequence of your unit
simple by comparing the illustration
at top left of the illustrated assembly
page with your unit.
Functional description
The lawn scarifier is pushed by hand
over the area of grass to be cut.
The unit is powered via the power
cord. The cutter deck is driven by
an electric motor. The cutter deck
rotates and removes the felt layer
formed by moss, lichen and weeds
and conveys the scarified material to
the outside or into the grass catcher.
The working depth is specified
centrally via the height adjustment
or individual wheel suspension.

Wear on the blades will make it
necessary to re-adjust the depth
of cut at a later date. An optimum
working depth is obtained when
the blades of the cutter are inserted
2–3 mm into the ground.
If the working depth is too deep,
this can overload the scarifier and
cause damage. Ensure that the
depth of cut setting is correct.
When the cutter deck is in contact
with the ground, the unit can move.
5. Stopping the engine
Release switch lever (Fig. 8a).
The motor and the cutter deck stop
after a short time.
6. Scarification
Figure 6
Start the engine as indicated.
Push the scarifier along parallel
strips of the lawn.
Place the power cord in large
loops on the ground.
7. Detaching and
emptying the grass sack
(Optional, depending on
model)
Figure 7
Release switch lever and wait until
the motor stops.
Lift the deflector flap and unhook
the grass sack.
Empty out the contents.
8. Working without
the grass sack
Whenever you detach the grass
sack, the deflector flap drops down.
When scarifying without the grass
sack attached, the cuttings are
ejected straight onto the ground.
9. After finishing work
Stopping the engine.
Pull the mains plug out of the unit
and the socket.
Empty grass catcher.
Leave the motor to cool down
(approx. 30 minutes) before
cleaning, servicing, storing or
shutting down the unit.
About aeration
In order that a healthy lawn can
develop in the spring, it is necessary
for greater amounts of air to penetrate the area around the roots of the
grass. During this period the lawn
must be scarified more frequently
than in the summer.
7
EnglishOperating instructions – Scarifier with electric motor
Scarify the lawn
– more frequently in the spring,
– when required in the summer,
– more frequently in the summer
as well if the lawn has large areas
of shade.
Only scarify the lawn when the grass
height is less than 4 cm. If the grass
has exceeded this length, the lawn
should be mown before it is aerated.
Apply fertiliser to the areas that have
been scarified and water it in, so that
fresh grass can grow more quickly.
Stopping the engine.
Tilt the unit backwards slightly
until the front wheels are off the
ground (Fig. 8c) or move the
height adjustment lever to position
A to prevent the blade shaft from
touching the ground (Fig. 8b).
At the end of the season or when the
vehicle will not be used for longer
than a month.
Clean the scarifier and the grass
sack.
To protect metal parts from rust,
wipe them all down with an oiled
cloth (resin-free oil) or apply an oil
spray.
Fold down the handle and store
the unit in a suitable room.
