Setting 0 : Transport position
This position sets the maximum safety spacing between
the tool and the floor.
Setting 1 : Working position
Set this position when working with a new implement.
Settings 2 - 4 : Readjustment positions
The working position can be lowered with increased sprung
tine wear. The readjusting depth amounts to approx. 3 mm per
setting. Use the millimeter scale readings for fine setting.
NOTES: When the unit is delivered it is in the Transport
Position 0 setting.
The unit must be switched off to set the working position.
Press the adjusting knob down and turn it to the required
position until it locks in place (the knob immediately rises
again).
m
The adjusting knob is not intended for height adjustment
but rather to compensate for wear.Selection of a readjustment
position without the corresponding wear can overload the
motor and damage the cylinder.
Switching ON and OFF (Fig. 3)
m
Before switching on the unit ensure that it is not in
contact with any objects. Keep your feet and hands well
away from the cylinder and the ejector opening. Danger of
injury!
1.
Place the unit on a level lawn surface.
2.
Form a loop in the end of the power cable and hang it into
the strain relief (4).
3.
Connect the unit to the mains voltage.
4.
To switch on press the unlocking button on the handle (1)
and simultaneously press the starting lever (2). Release the
unlocking button (1). The unit will continue to run.
5.
To switch off release the starting lever (2). (See Fig. 3)
Overload Protection
The motor is automatically switched off when the unit is
overloaded. Release the starting lever and the unit will reset
after a cooling down period of approx.1 minute.
m
WARNING!
The cylinder continues to run for a brief
period after the unit has been switched off. Do not tilt or carry
the unit while the motor is still running and do not touch the
cylinder while it is still rotating. Danger of injury!
Working with the unit
Dethatcher is a more intensive intervention and should only be
carried out once a year; the best time being in spring after the
lawn has been mowed for the first time.
m
WARNING!
When working on slopes always proceed
across the slope. Be particularly careful when walking
backwards and pulling the implement. Danger of stumbling!
The unit can be operated with or without the collecting basket.
•
Select the appropriate working or readjustment position (in
the event of cylinder wear) so that the unit is not over-
loaded.
•
Commence work in the vicinity of the power socket and
proceed away from the socket.
•
Always ensure that the extension cable is behind you,
and after turning move it to the side that has already
been treated.
•
Guide the unit at a walking pace down lanes that are as
straight as possible. To ensure uninterrupted cultivat-
ing the individual lanes should always overlap by a few
centimeters. Dwelling too long at the same place while the
implement is running can damage the grass sward.
•
To ensure that the extension cable is not an impediment,
turn the unit in such a manner that the cable strain release
on the bar always faces the side that has been treated.
m
After work and to transport the unit disconnect the power
plug and wait until the cylinder is stopped.
•
Adjust the transport to position 0 setting (see “Setting the
Working Position”) when transporting the unit.
•
Lift the unit to transport it over steps and sensitive
surfaces (e.g. tiles).
•
Always clean the unit after each use (see “Cleaning,
Maintenance, Storage”).
