Important!
For transport move the lever for setting the depth to the highest position.
Tips for proper working
It is recommended that you overlap scarifying paths a little. Try to scarify in straight lines for
a nice, clean look. Insodoing, the aeration swaths should always overlap each other by a
few centimeters in order to avoid bare strips.
As soon as grass clippings start to trail the scarifiers, it is time to empty the grass basket.
Important!
Before taking off the grass basket, switch off the motor and wait until the roller has come to
a stop.
To remove the grass basket, lift up the ejector flap with one hand, while unhooking the
basket with the other.
How frequently you should scarify your lawn is determined primarily by the speed at which
the grass grows and the hardness of the soil.
Keep the underside of the equipment clean and remove soil and grass build-up. Deposits
make it more difficult to start the aerator and decrease the quality of the scarifying.
Always scarify along inclines (not up and down). Switch off the motor before doing any
checks on the roller.
Important!
The roller rotates for a few seconds after the motor is switched off. Never attempt to stop
the roller. In the event that the rotating roller strikes an object, immediately switch off the
equipment and wait for the roller to come to a complete stop. Then inspect the condition of
the roller. Replace any parts that are damaged.

Important!
Never work on or touch conducting parts on the ignition unit with the engine running.
Always pull the spark plug boot from the spark plug before starting any work of care or
maintenance. Never perform any work on the machine while it is run- ning. Any work not
described in these Operating Instructions must be performed by an authorized service
workshop only.
9.1
Cleaning
The scarifier should be cleaned thoroughly every time after it has been used. This
particularly applies to its underside and the blades. To do so tip the scarifier slightly on to its
side and remove the dirt.
Important. Before you tip the equipment, the fuel tank must be emptied to prevent petrol
leaking out. Ideally you should use a conventional petrol extraction pump for this purpose.

Servicing
Checking
the
oil
level
Set the equipment down on a flat, level surface.
Unscrew the oil dipstick by turning it anti-clockwise. The oil level must be as shown in
Figure 10.
