Power cable
Please only use power cables that are not dama-
ged. The total length of the power cable should
not exceed 50 meters; going beyond this distance
will reduce the power output of the electric motor.
The power cable must have a cross-section of 3 x
1.5 mm2. The insulating sheath of scarifi er power
cables is frequently damaged.
Some of the causes for this are:
•
Cracking from running over the cable
•
Pinching when the power cable is dragging
under doors and pulled through windows
•
Cracking due to old age of the insulation
•
Kinking by improperly fastening or guiding the
power cable
The power cables must, at the very minimum, be
of type HO5RN-F and 3-stranded. The cable type
must be printed somewhere on the power cable.
Only purchase power cables that are marked as
such! Plugs and socket couplers for the power
cables must be made from rubber and be splash-
proof. There is a limit to how long power cables
can be. Longer power cables require larger con-
ductor cross-sections. Power cables and connec-
ting lines must be regularly checked for damage.
Ensure that the lines are de-energized before
checking them. Completely unwind the power
cable. Also check power cable entry points, plugs
and socket couplers for kinks.
6. Operation
Connect the machine’s power supply cable to the
plug (Fig. 17/Item A) and secure the power cable
with the stress-relief clip (Fig 17/Item 4).
To prevent accidental start-up of the equipment,
the push-bar (Fig. 18 / Item 5) is equipped with
a safety lock-off (Fig. 18 / Item 2) which must be
pressed before the lever switch (Fig. 18 / Item 1)
can be pressed. If the lever switch is released, the
equipment switches off .
Repeat this process several times so that you are
sure that the machine functions properly. Before
you perform any repair or maintenance work on
the machine, ensure that the cutting unit is not ro-
tating and that the power supply is disconnected.
Important! Never open the ejector fl ap when the
motor is running. A rotating cutting unit can cause
injuries.
Always fasten the ejector fl ap carefully. The fl ap
fl ips back to the “Closed” position by the tension
springs!
Always ensure that a safe distance (provided
by the long handles) is maintained between the
user and the housing. Be especially careful when
scarifying and changing direction on slopes and
inclines. Maintain a solid footing and wear sturdy,
non-slip footwear and long trousers. Always sca-
rify along the incline (not up and down).
For safety reasons, the scarifi er may not be used
to scarify inclines whose gradient exceeds 15
degrees.
Use special caution when backing up and pulling
the scarifi er (tripping hazard)!
Tips for proper working
It is recommended that you overlap scarifying
paths a little.
Try to scarify in straight lines for a nice, clean look.
Insodoing, the aeration swaths should always
overlap each other by a few centimeters in order
to avoid bare strips.
As soon as grass clippings start to trail the scari-
fi er, it is time to empty the grass basket.
Danger! Before taking off the grass basket,
switch off the motor and wait until the roller
has come to a stop.
To remove the grass basket, lift up the ejector fl ap
with one hand, while unhooking the basket with
the other.
How frequently you should scarify your lawn is
determined primarily by the speed at which the
grass grows and the hardness of the soil.
Keep the underside of the equipment clean and
remove soil and grass build-up. Deposits make it
more diffi cult to start the aerator and decrease the
quality of the scarifying.
Always scarify along inclines (not up and down).
Switch off the motor before doing any checks on
the roller.
Danger!
The roller rotates for a few seconds after the
motor is switched off . Never attempt to stop the
roller. In the event that the rotating roller strikes
an object, immediately switch off the equipment
and wait for the roller to come to a complete stop.
Then inspect the condition of the roller. Replace
any parts that are damaged (see section 8.4).
Lay the power cable on the ground in loops in
front of the power outlet. Scarify away from the
power outlet and cable, making sure that the
