OPERATION
CHANGING THE CYLINDER
The tool has two easily exchangeable work cylinders: an aerator cylinder made of hard plastic with vertically
rotating spring tines, and a scarifier cylinder with vertically mounted high-grade steel knives.
■ Turn the tool over.
■ Release the mounting bolt and fold the bearing cover away (Fig.12).
■ Tilt the cylinder upwards and pull the shaft out of its seat.
■ Insert the new cylinder by reversing the sequence (Fig.12). Ensure that the flattened side of the
bearing shell is first inserted in the bearing.
USING YOUR TOOL
To maintain a well-cared for lawn it should be aerated every 4 to 6 weeks.
Scarifying with the blade cylinder is a more intensive treatment than aerating and should only be carried
out once a year, the best time being in spring after the lawn has been mown for the first time.
How to use your scarifier
■ By scarifying you remove the hardened surface, grass felt and flat-growing weeds and the crusted
over grassroots are loosened up. The lawn will start to breathe again and assimilate nourishing
substances such as oxygen and water. This also prevents bacteria growing in the lawn felt when the
grass is dormant.
WARNING
WARNING
Switch off the tool, disconnect the mains plug and wait until the cylinder is standing still.
Always wear gloves when handling the cylinder.
