Proper use
The device is used as a scarifier. Moss and weeds are pulled out of the ground together with their roots using the scarifying roller and the soil is loosened. This helps the lawn to absorb nutrients better and cleans it. We recommend scarifying the lawn in spring (April) and autumn (October).

The scarifier is suitable for private use around the home and hobby garden.

  • Scarifiers for private home and hobby gardens are deemed to be ones that do not normally exceed 10 hours of use per year and are predominantly used for the upkeep of grass or lawns but are not used in public grounds, parks, sports facilities or in agriculture or forestry.

  • The observance of the manufacturer’s usage instructions included is a prerequisite for the proper use of the scarifier. The user instructions also contain the operating, maintenance, and servicing conditions.
    Warning! Due to physical hazards to the user, the scarifier must not be used as a shredder for shredding tree and hedge cuttings. Furthermore, the scarifier must not be used as a motor home and for leveling ground elevations, such as molehills.

  • For safety reasons, the scarifier must not be used as a drive unit for other work tools and tool sets of any kind except those explicitly approved by the manufacturer.

  • The machine may only be used in the intended manner. Any use beyond this is improper. The user/operator, not the manufacturer, is responsible for damages or injuries of any type resulting from this.

  • Please observe that our equipment was not designed with the intention of being used for commercial or industrial purposes. We assume no guarantee if the equipment is used in commercial or industrial applications, or for equivalent work.

Safe handling of operating materials
WARNING: Petrol is highly flammable!

  1. Fuel is highly flammable and its vapors can explode if ignited. Take appropriate measures when using fuel so as to reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
  2. Remain in a clean, well-ventilated outdoor area when filling or draining the tank, and use an approved fuel collection container. Smoking prohibited. Avoid ignition sparks, open flames, or any other source of ignition in the vicinity of the area when filling fuel or operating the unit. Never fill the tank when inside the building.
  3. To avoid sparking or arcing, keep earthed conductive objects, such as tools, away from unprotected live electrical parts and connections. They may ignite fumes or vapors.
  4. Always switch off the motor and allow it to cool down before refilling the tank. Do not remove the cap from the tank or fill it up with fuel while the motor is running or warm. Never operate the machine if the fuel system is leaking.
  5. Slightly open the cap of the tank to release pressure in the tank.
  6. Do not overfill the tank (to approx. 1.5 cm below the filler neck for space in the event of fuel expansion due to heat generated by the motor).
  7. Replace the caps of the tank and the container securely and wipe up any spilled fuel. Never operate the unit if the tank cover is not attached.
  8. Avoid sources of ignition in case of spilled fuel. Do not try to start the motor if fuel has been spilled. Instead, remove the machine from the affected area and avoid sources of ignition until the vapors from the fuel have dissipated.
  9. Store fuel in specially made containers that have been approved for this purpose.
  10. Store fuel in a cool, well-ventilated location away from sparks, open flames, or other sources of ignition.
  11. Never store fuel or the machine containing a tank filled with fuel in a building where exhaust fumes could come into contact with ignition sparks, open flames or any other ignition source, such as water heaters, ovens, dryers or similar. Allow the motor to cool down before placing it in a housing.
  12. If petrol overflows, no attempts should be made to start the engine. Instead, the machine must be removed from the area contaminated with petrol. Do not try to start the engine until the petrol vapors have evaporated.
  13. For safety reasons, the petrol tank cap and other tank caps must be replaced if damaged.

Notes on use and care of the machine

  1. Do not lift or carry the machine when the motor is running. Stop work tools if crossing surfaces other than grass and when transporting the machine from and to the surface to be worked on.
  2. Do not operate the machine using force. Use the right machine for your application. Using the right machine will do the job in a better and safer way.
  3. Do not change the motor speed regulator settings and do not run the motor at too high a speed. The speed regulator controls the maximum operating speed deemed safe for the motor.
  4. Do not run the motor fast if the ground is not being worked.
  5. Never out hands and feet on or under rotating parts. Always keep clear of the discharge opening.
  6. Avoid contact with hot fuel, oil, exhaust fumes, and hot surfaces. Do not touch the motor or the silencer. These parts become extremely hot during operation. They also remain hot for a short time after the unit has been switched off. Allow the motor to cool down before carrying out maintenance or adjustment work.
  7. If the machine starts to make unusual noises or vibrate abnormally, immediately switch off the motor, disconnect the ignition cable, and find the cause. Unusual noises or vibrations are generally a warning sign.
  8. Only use connections and accessories that have been approved by the manufacturer. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in personal injury.
  9. Service the machine. Check whether any parts in motion are misaligned or blocked. Check parts for breakage or check to see if there is any other condition that might affect the operation of the machine. Have the machine repaired before use if it is damaged. Many accidents occur due to inadequately serviced equipment.
  10. Clear the motor and silencer of grass, leaves, excessive grease, or built-up carbon to reduce the risk of fire.
  11. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Cutting tools with sharp cutting edges that have been properly maintained are less likely to jam and are easier to control.
  12. Never pour or splash water or any other liquid on the unit. Keep handlebars dry, clean, and free of deposits. Clean after each use.
  13. Adhere to laws and regulations concerning the proper disposal of fuel, oil, or the like to protect the environment.

Before commissioning

Assembly
Attention!

  • Always make sure the device is fully assembled before commissioning!

  • Guide bar assembly (Fig. 3 – 9)

  • Fit the lower push bar (4) as shown in Figures 3 + 4. Affix the bar with four hexagonal screws (E, F), two washers (G), two plastic star grip nuts (5) and two locknuts (D).

  • Connect the upper push bar (handle) (1) to the lower push bar (4). To do so, use two plastic star grip nuts
    (5) with the corresponding hexagonal screws (F) and washers (G) (Fig. 5 + 6)

  • Fit the draw wire holder (B) on the right side of the steering bar as shown in Fig. 7.

  • Fasten the cables to the push bar with the two cable clamps (A). (Fig. 8 + 9)

Installing the catch basket (Fig. 10 – 11)

  • Lift the discharge flap (Fig. 11/Item. 7) with one hand and hook the catch basket (Fig. 11/ Item 6) into the handle at the top with the other hand. Attention! The motor must be switched off and the roller must not rotate when attaching the catch basket!

Setting the scarifying depth (Fig. 12)

  • The scarifying depth is set using the depth adjustment (11). To do this, gently pull the depth adjustment (11) to the left or the right to set the required position. The height can be adjusted infinitely from 0 mm to -15 mm.
  • If the transport lever (3) is in the transport position, the blades do not touch the ground.

ATTENTION : Move the transport lever (3) (Fig. 12) into the transport position in order to make the roller non-contacting. Only move the scarifier in the trans-port position when not scarifying/aerating.

Adjusting the aerator roller depth
In order to guarantee faultless operation and avoid damage to the aerator roller, only use the aerator roller with the depth setting “O”.

Change the roller (Fig. 19 – 23)
ATTENTION! Be sure to wear gloves!

  • Remove the hexagonal screws and the retainer plate. Lift the roller at this end. Pull the roller in the direction of the arrow, out of the drive square.
  • Slide the new roller in the direction of the arrow back into the drive square and then press it into the bracket. Use the hexagonal screws to fasten the roller back onto the housing.

Operation

Attention!
The engine does not come with oil in it. Therefore, ensure that you add oil before starting it up. The oil level in the motor must be checked before any work is undertaken.

Starting the device

  • In order to avoid unintentional starting of the motor, it is equipped with a motor brake (Fig. 1/ Item 1), which must always be actuated during operation, since otherwise the motor will stop.

Attention : When releasing the motor brake lever, it must return to the starting position causing the motor to stop. If this is not the case, the device must not be used.

  1. Move the main switch into the “ON” position (Fig. 14/ item a) and then open the petrol valve (item c). To do this, set the valve to “ON”.
  2. Set the choke lever (Fig. 14/ Item b) to the “Choke” position. Note: The choke is not normally required when restarting a warm motor.
  3. Actuate the motor brake lever (Fig. 13) and firmly pull the start pull cord (Item 14) until the motor starts.
  4. Allow the motor to warm up for a short time and then set the choke lever (Fig 14 Item b) to the “RUN” position.
  5. Move the transport lever (3) into the working position
  • Attention: Always slowly pull out the start pull cord until you feel the first resistance before pulling it out quickly to start. Do not allow the start pull cord to fling back after starting has been completed
  • Attention: Do not start the motor if the transport lever (3) is in the working position!
  • Attention: The scarifying roller rotates when the motor is started.
  • Attention! Never open the discharge flap when the motor is still running. The rotating roller may lead to injuries. Always carefully secure the discharge flap. It is folded back into the “closed” position by the tension spring!
  • The safety distance between the housing and the user given by the guide rails must always be maintained. Special care must be taken when working and changing direction on embankments and slopes. Make sure you have a secure footing and wear shoes with non-slip, well-gripping soles, and long trousers. Always work across slopes.
  • For safety reasons, slopes with an inclination of more than 15 degrees must not be sacrificed with the device. Exercise particular caution when moving backward and pulling the device, risk of tripping!

Speed adjustment (fig. 1)
The speed can be adjusted using the throttle lever (15). We recommend working at high speed.

Scarifying

  • When scarifying, the grass surface and the grass seam are scratched using the scarifying blade. This removes moss, mulch and weeds, and cuts the fine roots on the top. Therefore, air, light, water ant nutrients reach the grass root better, resulting in the grass growing better and thicker. Furthermore, cutting the fine roots encourages grass growth. This promotes grass durability.
  • Scarifying should be performed a maximum of twice per year.
  • Ideally in April/May and/or September/October. Fertilise and water the grass surface after scarifying in order to obtain an even better result.

Aerating

  • When aerating, the aerator roller removes surface mulch and moss, and “dethatches” the grass. Therefore, air, light, water and nutrients reach the grass root better, resulting in the grass growing better and thicker. Aerating is gentler on the grass than scarifying but not as effective. The grass may be aerated several times per year (around every 4 weeks).

Advice on how to work properly

  • An overlapping working method is recommended when working. Guide the device in as straight a path as possible to obtain a clean result. These paths should always overlap by a few centimeters so that there are no streaks left. First, scarify lengthways and then width-ways in order to obtain a chessboard pattern.
  • As soon as grass cuttings are left lying behind on the ground during work, the catch basket must be emptied. Attention! Before removing the catch basket, switch off the motor and wait for the roller to come to a standstill!
  • Re-sow sections without grass or with little grass after scarifying.
  • In order to unhook the catch basket, lift the discharge flap using one hand and remove the catch bag with the other hand! It depends on the grass growth of the lawn and the hardness of the soil as to how often the lawn should be worked.
  • Keep the underside of the device clean and remove any earth and grass deposits. Deposits impede the start-up process and impair the quality. On slopes, the path should be made perpendicular to the slope. Switch off the motor before carrying out any checks on the roller.

Attention! The roller continues to rotate for a few seconds after the motor is switched off. Never try to stop the roller. If the moving roller hits an object, switch off the device and wait until the roller comes to a complete stop. Then check the condition of the roller. If damaged, it must be replaced.

Maintenance and cleaning

Cleaning

  • Keep protective devices, air vents and the motor housing as free of dust and dirt as possible. Rub the device clean with a clean cloth or blow it off with compressed air at low pressure.
  • We recommend that you clean the device directly after every use.
  • Clean the device at regular intervals using a damp cloth and a little soft soap. Do not use any cleaning products or solvents; they could attack the plastic parts of the device. Make sure that no water can penetrate the device’s interior.
  • In order to reduce the risk of fire, keep the engine, exhaust, battery box and the area surrounding the fuel tank free of grass, straw, moss, leaves or es-caping grease.

Maintenance

  • A worn or damaged cutting roller should be replaced by an authorized specialist
  • Ensure that all fastening elements (bolts, nuts, etc.) are always tightened so that it is safe to work with the scarifier.
  • Store your scarifier in a dry space.
  • All screwed parts as well as the wheels and axles should be cleaned and then oiled to ensure a long service life.
  • Regular maintenance of the scarifier will not only ensure its durability and performance but will also help to scarify your lawn carefully and easily.
  • Perform a general check of the scarifier at the end of the season and remove all accumulated debris. Always check the condition of the scarifier prior to the start of the season. Contact our customer service center for repairs.
  • Check the catcher regularly for wear or damaged parts.
  • Check the machine regularly and replace worn-out or damaged parts for safety reasons.
  • If the fuel tank has to be drained, you must do this outdoors. Store the drained fuel in a special container for fuel or dispose of it with due care.

Maintenance of the air filter
Fouled air filters diminish the engine output due to reduced air supply to the carburetor. Regular inspection is therefore essential. The air filter should be checked every 50 operating hours and cleaned as required. The air filter must be checked more often in case of very dusty air.

  • Dismount the air filter as shown in Fig. 15 + 16.
  • Clean the air filter with compressed air or simply by knocking out any soiling.
  • The re-assembly takes place in reverse order

Attention : Never clean the air filter with petrol or flammable solvents.

Spark plug maintenance/change
Check the spark plug for dirt and grime after 10 operating hours and if necessary, clean it with a copper wire brush. Then service the spark plug every 50 operating hours.

  • Pull off the spark plug connector (Fig. 17) with a twisting motion.
  • Use a spark plug wrench to remove the spark plug (Fig. 18).
  • The re-assembly takes place in reverse order.
