Cleaning
IMPORTANT
To clean the scarifier and for maintenance work tip it forwards.
When tipping the scarifier forwards, make sure that
the ejection flap is not damaged. Secure the scarifier in the raised position!
Remove all dirt and grass directly after scarifying. Use a brush or cloth to clean.
IMPORTANT
Never clean engine parts (like ignition system, carburettor, etc.) seals and bearing points with high-pressure cleaner
or normal water jet. Damages or expensive repairs can be the result.
Storage
Always keep the machine in a clean condition in a closed, dry room out of reach of children. Always allow the engine to cool
down before you store the machine in a closed room.
Collapsing the handle (Illustration A1 )
– For storage to save space or for transportation, the top tube can be swivelled over the motor A1 .
– For this purpose, first loosen the top half of the adjusting rod from the connection piece.
– Afterwards swivel the top guide tube forward after loosening the wing nuts.
– Ensure that the cable for motor operation is not kinked or squeezed!
CAUTION
When folding the bar for transport and storage purposes, when loosening the wing nuts it is possible that
unintentional upsetting of the bar may occur. In addition, this may result in crushed points between the top and
bottom of the bar. This may result in a risk of injury!
Transporting and securing the equipment
– If the equipment has to be carried, do not hold the ejection flap! Hold the front part on the wheel axle and at the rear on
the cross tube of the bottom guide tube.
Pay attention to the weight of the equipment before you lift or carry it (see Technical data). Lifting heavy loads can
cause health problems. We recommend that the equipment be always lifted or carried by at least two people.
– Transport the equipment in the upright posture.
– Park the means of transport on level ground so that the equipment cannot roll away before it is secured
– Hang out the collection bag and secure it separately during transport
– Secure the equipment with approved load-strapping means (e.g. tie-down straps with clamping elements) on or inside
the vehicle. Tie-down straps are belt bands made of synthetic fibres. Every tie-down strap is designated. The label
contains important details for application
– For loaded goods that can roll, it is recommended to use direct strapping with four belts. Secure the equipment on the
wheels so that it does not move during transportation.
ATTENTION
Do not tighten the belts too firmly. Fixing the equipment too firmly can cause damages.
Maintenance of the blade shaft
Before using the machine, always check the condition and firm seating of the blades. Worn or damaged blades should be
replaced immediately.
WARNING
Always have replacement of the blade shaft carried out by an authorised workshop. An incorrectly assembled blade
shaft can cause parts to become detached, possibly leading to serious injury.
Only use original scarifier blades for replacement purposes.
Replacement scarifier blades must be indelibly marked with name and/or trademark of the manufacturer or supplier and with
the parts number.
Changing the ribbed V-belt
For replacement, use only original drive belts.
Let the ribbed V-belt to be replaced only in authorized professional workshop.
