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 collec-
tion 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 scari-
fier 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 aerat-
ing or verticuting the individual lanes
should always overlap by a few centi-
metres. 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 re-
lease on the bar always faces the side
that has been treated.
• 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”).
• After having treated lawns with dense
moss growth, it is advisable to reseed
the lawn so that it can regenerate itself
quicker.
Cleaning/maintenance
Work that has not been de-
scribed in these Instructions
must be carried out by a ser-
vicing agency authorised by
us. Only use original parts.
Wear gloves when handling the cyl-
inder.
Prior to all maintenance and clean-
ing work always switch off the
implement, disconnect the plug from
the power socket and wait until the
cylinder is standing still.
General cleaning and main-
tenance 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 im-
plement could be damaged.
• When work has finished remove plant
residues adhering to the wheels, inside
the ventilation opening, the grass ejec-
tor opening and the cylinder. Do not
use hard or pointed objects for this
purpose as they could damage the im-
plement.
• Completely empty the collection bag.
