Interruptions of work :
Never leave the Electric Lawn Scarifier
unattended at the working area.
v
If you interrupt your work store the unit in a
safe place. Disconnect the mains plug !
v
When you interrupt work in order to go to
another working area, always switch off the
Electric Lawn Scarifier during transport. Put
the wear compensation lever in the trans-
port position.
If you come into contact with an
obstruction during aerating :
1. Turn off the Electric Lawn Scarifier.
2. Remove the obstruction.
3. Check the Lawn Scarifier for damage and
have it repaired if necessary.
3. Function
The Lawn Scarifier can be used for removing matting and moss in
the lawn and thatch.
To maintain a well-cared-for lawn we recommend aerating every
4 - 6 weeks depending on the state of your lawn.
v
First of all, mow your lawn to the length you require.
We particularly recommend this if the grass has grown tall
(e.g. while you were away on holiday).
Recommendation: the shorter you mow your lawn, the easier it
is to aerate, thus lessening the strain on the Lawn Scarifier and
increasing the lifetime of the aerator cylinder.
Staying too long in one place with the machine running or scarify-
ing when the ground is wet or too dry can damage the turf.
v
For good results, guide the Lawn Scarifier at an appropriate
speed in strips as straight as possible across your lawn.
To avoid leaving any gaps during aerating, the strips should touch.
v
Always guide the Lawn Scarifier at an even speed depending
on the type of ground.
v
When working on inclines always stand diagonally to the incline
in a sturdy, safe stance. Do not work on extremely steep slopes.
Danger of tripping !
To prevent tripping take particular care when moving back-
wards and when pulling the Lawn Scarifier.
When aerating areas of very mossy lawn we recommend re-sow-
ing the lawn after aerating. This helps the areas of lawn which
were replaced by moss to regenerate quicker.
