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 op-erating, 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 hoe and for levelling 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 use for commercial or industrial purposes. We assume no guarantee if the equipment is used in commercial or industrial applications, or for equivalent work.

  • Fit the lower push bar (3) as shown in Figures 3 + 4. Affix the bar with four hexagonal screws (E, F), two washers (G), two plastic star grip nuts (4) and two locknuts (D).
  • Connect the upper push bar (handle) (1) to the lower push bar (3). To do so, use two plastic star grip nuts (4) 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. 6) with one hand and hook the catch basket (Fig. 11/ Item 5) 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 (10). To do this, gently pull the depth adjustment (10) to the left or the right to set the required position. The height can be adjusted infinitely from 5 mm to -15 mm.

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.

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: 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, 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 scarified with the device. Exercise particular caution when moving backwards and pulling the device, risk of tripping!

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.

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 centimetres so that there are no streaks left. First scarify lengthways and then widthways 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 startup 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 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 escaping grease.

  • 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 carburettor. 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.
