INSTRUCTION MANUAL
16. Do not operate the machine while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
17. The OPC/Brake lever is a safety device. Never attempt to bypass its operation. Doing so makes the safety
device inoperative and may result in personal injury. The OPC/Brake lever must operate easily in both
directions and automatically return to the disengaged position when released.
18. Never operate the machine in wet grass. Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause serious

25. Only use parts and accessories made for this machine by the manufacturer. Failure to do so can result in
personal injury.
26. When starting the engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly. Rapid retraction of
starter cord (kickback) will pull hand and arm towards engine faster than you can let go. Broken bones,
fractures, bruises or sprains could result.
27. If situations occur which are not covered in this manual, use care and good judgement. Contact your
nearest Approved Service Dealer for assistance
SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents, which can result in severe injury. Operation on
slopes requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, or it is greater than 15 degrees, do not scarify on it.
Do:
1. Scarify across the face of slopes; never up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction
on slopes.
2. Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps which can cause you to slip or trip. Tall grass can
hide obstacles.
3. Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause serious personal injury. If you feel you are losing
your balance, release the OPC/Brake lever immediately and the tines will stop rotating within three (3)
seconds.
Do Not:
1. Do not operate near drop-offs, ditches or embankments, you could lose your footing or balance.
2. Do not operate on slopes greater than 15 degrees.
3. Do not operate on wet grass. Unstable footing could cause slipping.
CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted
to the machine and the activity. They do not understand the dangers. Never assume that children will remain
where you last saw them.
1. Keep children out of the scarifying area and under care of a responsible adult other than the operator.
2. Be alert and turn the machine off if a child enters the area.
3. Before and while moving backwards, look behind and down for small children.
4. Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, doorways, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may
obscure your vision of a child who may run into the machine.
5. Keep children away from hot or running engines. They can suffer burns from a hot muffler.
6. Never allow children under 16 years of age to operate this machine. Children 16 and over should read and
understand the instructions and safe operation practices in this manual and on the machine and be
trained and supervised by an adult.

SERVICE
Safe Handling of Petrol:
1. To avoid personal injury or property damage use extreme care in handling petrol. Petrol is extremely
flammable, and the vapors are explosive. Serious personal injury can occur when petrol is spilled on
yourself or your clothes, which can ignite. Wash your skin and change clothes immediately.
2. Use only an approved petrol container.
3. Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place
containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.
4. Remove petrol-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not
possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a portable container, rather than from a petrol
dispenser nozzle.
5. Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is
complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
6. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition.
7. Never fuel machines indoors because flammable vapors will accumulate in the area.
8. Never remove petrol cap or add fuel while engine is hot or running. Allow engine to cool at least two
minutes before refueling.
9. Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank up to 80% capacity to allow for expansion.
10. Replace petrol cap and tighten securely.
11. If petrol is spilled, wipe it off the engine and equipment. Move machine to another area. Wait 5 minutes
before starting engine.
12. Never store the machine or fuel container near an open flame, spark or pilot light on petrol appliances.
13. To reduce fire hazard, keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel
spillage and remove any fuel-soaked debris.
14. Allow machine to cool at least 5 minutes after use, before storing.
General Service:
1. Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated area. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an
odorless and deadly gas.
2. Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the tines and all moving parts have stopped.
Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground against the engine to prevent unintended starting.
3. Check the machine and engine mounting bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness. Also, visually
inspect for damage. Replace with the original equipment manufacture’s (O.E.M.) parts only, listed in this
manual. “Use of parts which do not meet the original equipment specifications may lead to improper
performance and compromise safety!”
4. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
5. Never tamper with safety devices. Check the correct operation regularly.
6. After striking or vacuuming a foreign object, stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire and ground
against the engine. Thoroughly inspect the machine for any damage. Repair the damage before starting
and operating the machine.
7. Machine components, guards and shields are subject to wear and damage which could expose moving
parts or allow objects to be thrown. For safety protection, frequently check components and replace
immediately with original equipment manufacturers (O.E.M.) parts only, listed in this manual. “Use of
parts which do not meet the original equipment specifications may lead to improper performance and
compromise safety!”
8. Do not change the engine’s governor setting or over-speed the engine. The governor controls the
maximum safe operating speed of the engine.
9. Check fuel line, tank, cap, and fittings frequently for cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.
10. Do not crank engine with spark plug removed.
11. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.
12. Observe proper disposal laws and regulations. Improper disposal of fluids and materials can harm the
environment.
DO NOT MODIFY THE ENGINE
To avoid serious injury or death, do not modify the engine in any way. Tampering with the governor setting
can lead to a runaway engine and cause it to operate at unsafe speeds. Never tamper with factory setting of
engine governor. Please refer to the Briggs & Stratton engine manual, before undertaken any inspection,
repair or maintenance.

PRE-OPERATION
FUEL & OIL
WARNING
YOUR MACHINE IS SUPPLIED WITHOUT ENGINE OIL OR UNLEADED PETROL
Operating the engine with insufficient oil can have catastrophic consequences. Any failure caused by
insufficient oil, will not be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
Read instructions carefully.
Fuel & its vapors are very flammable. Do not use or fuel the machine near a flame, sparks or while smoking.
Allow the engine to cool for more than 3 minutes, before re-fueling. Never fuel the machine with the engine
running. Fuel the engine at least 15 metres away from your work area. Always fuel your machine outdoors.
IMPORTANT:
Fuel which is older than 30 days old can become stale and cause acid & gum deposits in the fuel system or
essential carburettor components. This could result in starting issues which would not be covered by the
manufacturer’s warranty.
Ensure that any stored petrol is clearly marked in a separate appropriate canister for a maximum of 30 days
if not mixed with a fuel additive. If the machine is not going to be used for a long period, drain the petrol
from the fuel tank, start the engine and drain the carburetor of any remaining fuel.

essential carburettor components. This could result in starting issues which would not be covered by the
manufacturer’s warranty.
Ensure that any stored petrol is clearly marked in a separate appropriate canister for a maximum of 30 days
if not mixed with a fuel additive. If the machine is not going to be used for a long period, drain the petrol
from the fuel tank, start the engine and drain the carburetor of any remaining fuel.
To keep fuel fresh, refer to instructions from the engine manual supplied with this machine. A fuel additive
which you add to your fuel, can help make your machine easier to start, extend the shelf life of your fuel for up
to two years, keeping the carburettor & engine clean, plus reducing emissions and increasing fuel economy.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL
BRUSH OR SCARIFIER CASSETTE
SCARIFIER - Only to be used on the lawn!
The cassette rotates and combs the lawn or aerates the slightly mossy areas. The removed moss is conveyed
into the collector. During aeration the surface of the ground is scratched; this improves water drainage and
facilitates the absorption of oxygen. We recommend scarifying the lawn during the entire growing period as
and when required.
BRUSH - When you encounter rubbish, wet leaves etc stuck on the ground and difficult to handle, use the
brush cassette. This does not damage the ground. Not to be used for collecting stones, metal cans, plastic,
wire and other debris which may damage the machine or engine.
Be sure the working area is clear of stones, sticks, wire, or other objects which could damage the machine or
engine. Such objects could be accidently thrown by the machine or accessory cassette in any direction and
cause serious personal injury to the operator and others.
Always ensure that a safe distance (provided by the 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.
Do not work on excessively steep slopes, a maximum slope of 15 degrees is recommended. If a slope is
difficult to stand on, do not work. Do not trim on slopes when the ground is slippery or wet. Work across the
face of a slope, not up and down. Use special caution when backing up and pulling the machine backwards
(tripping hazard)!
The operation of any accessory cassette can result in foreign objects being thrown into eyes, which can
cause severe damage. Always wear safety glasses or goggles while operating the accessory cassette, or
Shut the engine off and wait until the accessory cassette comes to a complete stop before cleaning the
discharge area. The accessory cassette continues to rotate for a few seconds after throttle lever is moved

and warranty assessment is relatively easy.

or cracked as this could be due to impact damage.

Protecting your machine
Maintenance
Regular maintenance of your Webb machine is essential to ensure it operates, safely, effi ciently and therefore
reducing the environmental impact.
It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that their Webb machine is maintained at specifi c intervals. Any approved
Webb service dealer can undertake a service, which are specialised in our products and will be aware of your
particular machine and any technical updates which will save valuable time & money.
If you are using your machine in dry, dusty or high temperatures, you will need to service the machine more
regularly.
Fuel (if applicable)
Due to ongoing eff orts by fuel companies to reduce emissions, unleaded petrol will oxidize & deteriorate in storage
overtime, leaving residue from detergent components.
Fuel deterioration problems may occur when petrol is stored for over 30 days. If you are planning to store fuel for
over 30 days, we recommend you add Handy Parts Sure-Start fuel stabilizer to fresh fuel after purchasing. Sure-
Start cannot reconstitute stale fuel.
Storage
When storing your machine for an extended period, we do recommend that you follow the instructions of engine
instruction manual.
Always store the fuel in a clean, approved and sealed container. If the container is steel, ensure it is not corroded.
If the container is not fi lled to its recommended capacity, air can accelerate fuel deterioration.
Always store fuel away from direct sunlight, in a dark, cool environment.
