UNDER OPERATION

The lawn scarifier is used to loosen moss, etc. from the lawn. The machine’s blades rotate in the direction of travel, thereby helping to propel the machine forward.
Note! Only use it early spring or late autumn, when the soil is soft and moist.
Start the motor and lower the machine to the “work” position using the handle on the right hand side of the machine. Activate the clutch trigger and engage the motor fully. Move the lawn scarifier forwards and backwards across the lawn. After the first aeration remove any lose moss from the lawn. in the event that there is still moss in the lawn, aerate again at an angle of 90 degrees to the previous aeration. (figure 6}
Warning: Do not use tha lawn scarifier in hard dry soil. This can damage the belt!

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

After use remove any moss attached to the shield. Stop the motor, remove the spark plug cap and tip the machine back. Clean under the shield with a brush.
If cleaning the machine with a hose, use a low pressure so as to avoid damaging the machines stickers. Also avoid spraying the blade bearing directly. After washing the machine it is a good idea to start the machine and let the rotor blades run without resistance for a short period of time.
**** Never use a high pressure cleaner to clean the lawn scarifier.
Spray exposed areas with a corrosion protective spray.
Never tilt the machine more than 20 degrees as this can result in oil leaking into the cylinder.
Follow the motor manual instructions when performing motor maintenance.
