Cleaning Electric Lawn Rake:
The Electric Lawn Rake should be cleaned after each time it is used.
Risk of injury and physical damage!
v
Do not clean Electric Lawn Rake under running
water (particularly under high pressure).
v
Do not use hard or pointed objects for cleaning
the Electric Lawn Rake.
v
Remove grass and deposits from wheels, aerator cylinder and
housing.
Adjusting for wear:
D
The Electric Lawn Rake is subject to wear in use due to the way
in which it works. The more intensively the Electric Lawn Rake is
used, the greater the wear on the spring tines. Hard or very dry
ground accelerates wear as does excessive use of the Electric
Lawn Rake.
If the results of your work with the Electric Lawn Rake become
increasingly worse due to knife wear, the aerator cylinder can be
adjusted twice.
The aerator cylinder has 4 adjustment positions:
• Transport position
• Aerating position
1
• Aerating position
2
:
If the springs are worn (the rake roller is lowered by 3 mm).
• Setting
3
:
Second setting for worn springs (the rake roller is lowered by
a further 3 mm).
Push wear compensation lever
D
gently away from the housing
and move to the position required.
Note: Wear adjustment is not used for height adjustment.
Adjustment of the aerator cylinder without visible wear can
cause damage to the aerator cylinder or overload the motor.
7. Trouble-Shooting
Replacing spring tines:
DANGER! The aerator cylinder can cause injuries!
v
Prior to rectifying faults, unplug from the mains
and wait until the aerator cylinder has stopped.
v
Wear working gloves when rectifying faults.
If the aerator cylinder is not yet worn but individual springs have
broken, these must be replaced. Only original
GARDENA replace-
ment springs may be used.
