OPERATING HINTS

Before starting work clear the lawn of any objects such as stones or sticks, that would damage the Scarifier or be thrown out at dangerously high speeds by the rotating blades.
Set the operating height adjuster by screwing the top adjuster knob up or down so that the blades comb the grass without touching the soil, then tighten the locking knob.
THE BLADES MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO TOUCH THE GROUND.
Mount the grassbag onto the Scarifier by raising the ejection guard and sliding the grassbag frame lugs into the locating slots each side of the axle frame.
Always stop the engine and wait for the rotating blades to stop before removing and replacing the grassbag.
The CAMON Lawn Scarifier is designed to allow light, air and water to the roots of grass to keep it healthy. It does this by removing thatch which is made up of organic debris such as cut grass, leaves and dead moss that has not decomposed.
The machine must NOT be used as a slitter or aerator as the blades will damage the lawn, and the machine will be damaged.
Always use the machine at maximum engine speed.
Empty the grassbag frequently.
If the Scarifier should strike a stone or similar object, STOP the engine immediately and wait for the blades to stop rotating. Inspect the Scarifier for damage and if in any doubt contact your supplier.
