15 CARE AND SERVICING OF YOUR SCARIFIER
Regular care is the best guarantee of long working life and trouble-free operation!
Only use original spare parts because only those guarantee safety and quality!
Safety instruction!
See table for explanation of symbols page 3
Cleaning (Illustration N3 )
Remove all dirt and grass directly after scarifying. Turn the machine over onto its side and use a brush or cloth to clean it.
The air slits for the cooling of the electric motor (1) must be free from dirt and grass cuttings.
IMPORTANT
Never spray the machine with water since this could damage the electrical system.
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 engine A1 .
– To fold down the top guide tube as desired, loosen the top or bottom adjustment bar from the connecting piece.
– Swivel the top guide tube forward after loosening the wing nuts.
– Ensure that the cable for engine operation is not kinked nor 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 authorized workshop, since an insulation protection
test to DIN EN 60335 must be carried out after repair and maintenance work to insulation components (e.g. blade
shaft, attachment fittings).
An incorrectly assembled blade shaft can also 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.
