v
First of all, mow your lawn to the length you require.
We particularly recommend this if the grass has grown tall
(e.g. while you were away on holiday).
Recommendation: the shorter you mow your lawn, the easier
it is to aerate, thus lessening the strain on the Electric Lawn
Rake and increasing the lifetime of the aerator cylinder.
Remaining in one spot too long, or aerating if the ground is wet or
too dry can damage the grass.
v
For good results, guide the Electric Lawn Rake at an
appropriate speed in strips as straight as possible across
your lawn.
To avoid leaving any gaps during aerating, the strips should
touch.
v
Always guide the Electric Lawn Rake at an even speed
depending on the type of ground.
v
When working on inclines always stand diagonally to the
incline in a sturdy, safe stance. Do not work on extremely
steep slopes.
Danger of tripping!
To prevent tripping take particular care when moving
backwards and when pulling the Electric Lawn Rake.
When aerating areas of very mossy lawn we recommend resowing
the lawn after aerating. This helps the areas of lawn which were
replaced by moss to regenerate more quickly.
