OPERATION
WARNING!
Never open the rear deflector while the motor is running. A
rotating scarifying/aerator unit can cause injuries
.
Always fasten the rear deflector carefully. The rear deflector flips back to the "closed"
position by the tension springs.
Always ensure that a safe distance (provided by the long handles) is maintained
between the user and the housing.
CAUTION:
Be especially careful when scarifying and changing direction
on slopes and inclines.
IMPORTANT:
Remember to empty the Grass Basket regularly to maintain
efficiency of the tool.
CAUTION:
Before removing the Grass Basket, ensure you have switched
off the motor and wait until the Roller has come to a complete stop.
If you push the scarifier over hard ground such as stony soil set the height
so that the roller does not come into contact with the ground.
If the scarifier is on the ground you intend to treat, lower it so that the roller
is in contact with the ground.

working depth control lever (11) in the direction indicated by the arrow and adjust to
the required position (0/1/2/3/4). Make sure that the lever latches into place correctly.
