8. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The lawn scarifier is pushed by hand over the area of grass to be cut. The cutters are driven by a petrol engine.
The depth of cut is set by varying the central height-adjustment mechanism.
Scarification:
The cutter deck rotates and removes the moss, lichen and weeds and conveys the scarified material to the
outside or into the grass catcher. During cutting the cutters penetrate the ground and therefore ensure that the
lawn is loosened and absorbs nutrients better. We recommend scarifying the lawn in spring (April/May) and
autumn (October).
Aerating:
The cutter deck (aerator shaft) rotates and combs the lawn or aerates the mossy lawn. The removed moss is
conveyed outwards or into the grass catcher. During aeration the surface of the ground is scratched; this
improves water drainage and facilitates the absorption of oxygen.
We recommend aerating the lawn during the entire growing period as when required.
