9. Operating instructions
9.1 Preliminary checks
Caution:
Try making a habit of checking the following points before getting to work with
the machine:
9.1.1 Checklist
• Check the total number of hours the machine has operated and compare this to the main -
tenance table.
• Check the wear of the spikes.
• Check whether the depth has been set correctly.
• Check that all protective covers are present and properly in place.
• Check that all safety devices on the machine are still operating properly.
Once these points have been checked and approved, the work area can be prepared and the
machine can be moved onto it.
9.2 Preparing the work area
• Never work when light intensity is below 500 Lux.
• Besides the machine, the work area must also comply with certain conditions, which must be
verified prior to starting the work.
• Examine the work area and remove any foreign objects from the lawn before starting the work.
• Foreign objects include, among other things, metal, stone, plastic, pvc, bones, rope; but also
molehills, branches, water hoses, etc. Some of these can cause severe damage to your machine
or lead to breakage.
• Foreign objects that cannot be removed (such as drain covers, built-in power outlets, water
sprinklers, tree roots) must be visibly marked as a risk area.
• Always cut the grass before dethatching. The grass should preferably be no longer than 30 mil -
limetres.
• A mowed lawn also displays any foreign objects.
