Scarifying work
Ensure the scarifying drum with the metal blades is fitted to
the machine. You can adjust the working depth with the depth
adjustment lever.
Consider the weather when scarifying. Scarify the lawn with an
increased depth setting between April and May, as the lawn is able
to recover during these months. During a wet summer, scarify
again in late summer with a decreased depth setting. Do not scarify
during periods of hot weather. During a dry rainless summer, do not
scarify a second time in autumn.
Raking work
Ensure the lawn raking drum with the fine metal tines is fitted to
the machine. You can adjust the working depth with the depth
adjustment lever. In order for a healthy lawn to develop in the spring,
it is necessary for greater amounts of air to penetrate the area
around the roots of the grass. We recommend aerating the lawn
every 4-6 weeks depending on the state of your lawn.
NOTE: Overload protection
The overload protection will be activated in the following
circumstances:
1) A build up of scarified material around the cutting device.
2) If the material scarified is larger then the motor capacity.
3) Where there is too much resistance against the cutting device.
When the circuit breaker has been activated, switch off the product
and disconnect from the power supply.
Allow the product to cool down and eliminate the cause before
using the machine again.
Empty grass bag
For efficient use of the machine, ensure the grass collection bag is
emptied at regular intervals and does not become too full.
1. Open the deflector guard, and align the hooks on the grass bag
with the hinges to hang it onto.
2. Empty the grass bag frequently during use. Do not wait until it is
completely full. We recommend emptying it when it is half full.
3. Lift the deflector guard and pull the grass bag off the hinges to
remove it.
4. Empty the collected material onto a compost heap and reattach
it onto the machine.
