When the implement is delivered
it is in the Transport Position 0 set-
ting.
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 imple-
ment ensure that it is not in con-
tact with any objects. Keep your
feet and hands well away from the
cylinder and the ejector opening.
Danger of injury!
D 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 unlock-
ing 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 imple-
ment after a cooling down period of
approx. 1 minute.
WARNING! The cylinder con-
tinues 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 imple-
ment. 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 pro-
longed.
• The implement can be operated with
or without the collection bag.
Recommendation: Work with the col-
lection 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.
