The working position can be lowered with
increased knife and sprung tine wear.
Wear can be identified from an increas

ingly poor result.
Selection of a low rollers position
without the corresponding wear
can overload the motor and dam-
age the cylinder.
Switching on and off
Before switching on the imple
-
ment ensure that it is not in
contact 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. Form a loop in the end of the
power cable and hang it into the
strain relief (4).
3. Connect the implement to the
mains voltage.
4. To switch on press the unlock-
ing button on the handle (3)
and simultaneously press the
starting lever (2). Release the
unlocking button (3).
5. To switch off release the starting
lever (2).

Working with the implement
Verticuting is a more intensive intervention
than aerating and should only be carried
out once a year, the best time being in
spring after 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!
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.
• The implement can be operated with
or without the collection bag.
• To ensure that the collision guard flap
closes properly, remove any earth that
may have collected on the collision
guard springs and/or the housing.
When working without the bag, check
that the collision guard flap is tightly
closed.
• Mow the lawn to the required grass
height.
• Do not use the scarifier in long grass.
It may otherwise wind around the
scarifier blade and result in damage to
the equipment.
• Select the appropriate scarifier cylin
-
der position (in the event of cylinder
wear) so that the implement is not
overloaded.
• Commence work in the vicinity of the
power socket and proceed away from
the socket.
• Always ensure that the extension
cable is behind you, and after turning
