-3 to -12 mm : Readjustment positions
The working position can be lowered with
increased knife and sprung tine wear.
Wear can be identified from an increas
-
ingly poor result.
The readjusting depth amounts to approx.
3 mm per setting.
When the implement is delivered
it is in the Transport Position
(+10 mm) setting.
1. The implement must be switched off
to set the working position.
2. Adjust the depth adjustment lever
(
10) and allow it to lock into place
in the desired position.
Selection of a readjustment posi-
tion 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!
1. Place the implement on a level lawn
surface.
2. Connect the extension cord to the
power cable (24).
3. Form a loop in the end of the power ca-
ble and hang it into the strain relief (15).
4. Connect the implement to the mains
voltage.
5. To switch on, press the electronic
switch lock (1) on the handlebar and
then pull the start handle (2) towards
the handlebar. Release the electronic
switch lock (1).
6. To switch off release the starting lever (2).
Overload protection:
The motor
is automatically switched off when
the implement is overloaded. Re-
lease the starting lever and reset
the implement 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 rotat-
ing. 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 af-
ter the lawn has been mown for the first time.
When working on slopes always
proceed across the slope. Be
particularly careful when walk-
ing backwards and pulling the
implement. Danger of stumbling!
After work and to transport the imple-
ment disconnect the power plug and
wait until the cylinder is standing still.
The shorter the grass, the better
the lawn can be treated. Fur-
thermore, the implement is less
stressed and the service life of the
cylinder is prolonged.
