A

the motor has been switched off :

V

Never lift, tip or carry the Aerator with the motor 
running ! 

V

Never start on solid ground (e.g. asphalt).

Blockage Protection :

If the aerator cylinder is blocked, e.g.

by a foreign body, immediately release the starting lever. If the
blockage lasts longer than 10 seconds and the starting lever 
has not been released, blockage protection is activated. In this
case immediately release the starting lever. The Aerator can 
be switched on again after cooling down for approx. 1 minute.

Cleaning Aerator :

When aerating areas of very mossy lawn we recommend re-sow-
ing the lawn after aerating. This helps the areas of lawn which
were replaced by moss to regenerate more quickly.

When in operation, the mains cable must always be guided in the
direction you are working at the side of the area you are aerating.
Always work away from the mains cable.

the handle 

3

using the wing nuts 

8

.

The handle is now assembled.

4. Insert the assembled handle into the holes 

9

in the motor 

housing so that the 
recess 

0

is on the 

left side (in the direc-
tion of motion) 
(see Fig.).

5. On the underside of 

the housing, bolt the 
lower handle to the 
motor housing using 
the bolts

over the holes 

a

on the handle.

The connecting cable 

E

is fed along the handle.

2. Bolt the starting switch 

B

to the upper handle using the bolts

C

.

3. Using the two cable clips
