8 BEFORE USING THE SCARIFIER FOR THE FIRST TIME
Safety instruction!
See table for explanation of symbols page 3
Check all screw fittings for firm seating. Tighten screws if necessary! Check in particular the correct assembly and condition
of the blade shaft (see Chapter “Maintenance of the blade shaft”).
Always have work on the blade shaft carried out by an authorised workshop. An incorrectly assembled blade blade shaft can
cause parts to become detached, possibly leading to serious injury.
Make sure that all safety devices are fitted properly and are not damaged.

9 STARTING THE ENGINE (Illustration S2 + A2 + E )
Safety instruction!
See table for explanation of symbols page 3
Before starting the motor, ensure that the blade shaft is in the lifting position (1) E .
Only start the motor when standing behind the machine. Always place the machine on a level surface where the grass is not
too high (too high grass will impede the starting of the blade shaft and make starting more difficult). Where this is not
possible, starting can be aided by tilting the machine, with the cutters pointing away from the user, but only as far as
absolutely necessary.
– Open the fuel cock (2) S2 .
– In a cold engine, push the choke lever on the engine (3) in position "Choke" .
– Move the throttle control lever (4) backwards to position "Hare". During engine operation, the throttle control lever
should remain in "Hare" position.
– To start the engine, first hold the red button (5) pressed and then pull the control handle (6) on the top guide tube.
During operation, the control handle must remain held in this position A2 .
– Slowly pull the starter cable (7) until resistance is felt, then pull it out rapidly, – the engine begins to run, slowly recoil the
cable E .
– Under certain circumstances the starting process must be repeated.
– After the engine has warmed up, push the choke lever (3) forwards in operating position.
– In
an operationally hot engine, push the choke lever on the engine (3) forwards in operating position. Start the engine
as described above.
– If the engine does not start running, then proceed as when starting a cold engine.
