2. Screw on the handle’s middle part with the power cord safety clamp attached using the fast coupling lever and the handle screw (fi g. 3).
   

3. Screw on the handle’s top part (fi g. 4).

4. Attach the power cord to the handle using the plastic clips (fi g.5).
   

5. Place the steel frame 0 into the textile collection basket 9 and attach all fastener to the left, right and rear poles of the frame. Make sure that all fasteners are secured correctly (fi g. 6).

6. Installation of the completely assembled collection basket on to the scarifier (fi g. 7).

7. Lift up the protective cover 11.

8. Make sure that the ejection chute is clear and free of debris.

9. Place the fully assembled collection basket on to the fastening points in the rear part of the chassis, as shown.

10. Place the protective cover  on top of the collection basket. Check that the collection basket is seated correctly.
    NOTE: For use without the grass catcher, the lawnmower may be used without the collection basket with the protective cover 11 in the lower position.

REPLACING BLADES

DANGER!
The cylinders may cause injuries!
Prior to replacement, disconnect the machine from the power grid and wait for the cylinder to come to a stop. When replacing, wear work gloves.

1. Screw out bolt 1 on the underside of the chassis (fi g. 8).
   

2. Lift the cylinder 3 at an angle and pull it out (fi g. 9).
   

3. Slide the second cylinder on to the drive shaft so that the pin 5 fits into the respective part of the drive shaft 4 (fi g. 10).

4. Tighten the screw 1 to secure again (fi g.8)

SETTING UP THE SCARIFIER

ATTENTION!
The working depth with the scarification cylinder should be no more than 3 mm. The aeration cylinder with springs should copy the contour of the ground during operation. Setting an excessive working depth may even without visible wear on the blades/springs result in damage to the scarification cylinder or the overloading and destruction of the motor. The lawn may also be damaged.

Adjustment after wear
To maintain the recommended working depth, use the working depth adjustment control (fi g. 1, point 8).

NOTE: The blades and springs of the scarifi er wear out depending on the manner in which they are used. The more intensively the scarifi er is used, the greater the wear on the blades and springs.
Hard or very dry ground accelerates the wearing out process as does excessive use. In the event that, as a result of wear on the blades, the results of your work with the scarifier worsen, it is possible to adjust the scarification cylinders so that the working depth is constantly kept at the above-described depth.

PUTTING INTO OPERATION (FIG. 11)

Before starting it up again, check that the blade has come to a complete stop. Do not turn on and off in rapid succession.

Starting

1. Press and hold the safety button 1 Pull the starting lever 2 to the handle.
2. Release the safety button.

Turning off
Release the starting lever 2.

MAINTENANCE Guide

Cleaning the scarifier

• ATTENTION! Danger! A rotating blade may cause injuries.

• ATTENTION! Prior to maintenance, disconnect the machine from the power grid and wait for the scarifi ca-tion cylinder to come to a stop.

• ATTENTION! While performing maintenance use work gloves.
  The scarifier should be cleaned after every use.

• ATTENTION! Risk of injury and material damage.

• ATTENTION! Do not clean the scarifier under running water (especially not under high pressure).

• ATTENTION! Do not use hard or pointed items for cleaning the scarifi er.
  Remove grass and accumulated debris from the wheels, scarification cylinder and the cover.

SCARIFICATION / AERATION

• For comfortable work with the scarifier, it is best to start working at the location closest to the power source and to proceed away from the power source.

• Scarify / aerate the lawn at a right angle from the power source and place the power cord on the side that has already been treated.

• ATTENTION! Do not place too much strain on the motor when working, especially in demanding conditions. When the motor is put under strain, the motor speed will decline and you will hear a change in the noise of the motor. Whenever this happens, stop working, release the starting lever and reduce the scarification / aeration depth.
  Otherwise the machine could be damaged.

• NOTE: The motor is protected by a safety mechanism that is activated at the instant that the blades are caught or the engine is overloaded. Whenever this occurs, turn the machine off and pull the power plug out of the power source. The safety mechanism will reset only when the starting lever is released. Remove all obstacles and wait several minutes before resetting the safety mechanism and resuming work. At this point, do not play with the starting lever as this will extend the safety mechanism reset time. In the event that the machine turns off again, raise the height of scarification / aeration again, which will reduce the load on the motor.
