STARTING THE ENGINE - WARM
1. Place height adjuster into its highest position.
2. Move the fuel tap to the open position (B).
3. Move the Choke lever to the OPEN position.
4. Pull the OPC/brake lever towards the top handle.
5. Grab the recoil starter handle and pull lightly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly.
6. The blades/tines are now rotating. Lower to the required height, using the height adjuster.
CAUTION
Do not allow the starter grip to snap back against the engine. Return it gently to prevent damage to the
starter.
WARNING
The scarifier/aerator blade/tines begin to rotate as soon as the engine is started.
Never open the collector flap when the engine is running. A rotating cutting unit can cause injuries.
Always fasten the collector flap carefully. The flap flips back to the “Closed” position with tensioned springs!
STOPPING THE ENGINE
1. Release the OPC/brake lever to stop the engine.
2. Close the fuel tap.
IMPORTANT:
The blade/tines continue to rotate for a few seconds after the motor is switched off. Never attempt to stop
the cassette yourself. If the blade/tines strike an object, immediately switch off the machine and wait for
the blade/tines to come to a complete stop. Inspect the condition of the blades/tines. Replace any parts
that are damaged.
USING YOUR SCARIFIER/AERATOR
Be sure the working area is clear of stones, sticks, wire, or other objects which could damage the
scarifier/aerator or engine. Such objects could be accidently thrown by the scarifier/aerator in any direction
and cause serious personal injury to the operator and others.
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.
Do not work on excessively steep slopes, a maximum slope of 15 degrees is recommended. If a slope is
difficult to stand on, do not trim. Do not trim on slopes when the ground is slippery or wet. Trim across the
face of a slope, not up and down.
Use special caution when backing up and pulling the scarifier/aerator (tripping hazard)!
WARNING
The operation of any scarifier/aerator can result in foreign objects being thrown into eyes, which can
cause severe damage. Always wear safety glasses or goggles while operating the scarifier/aerator, or while
performing any adjustments or repairs on it.
Shut the engine off and wait until the scarifier/aerator head comes to a complete stop before cleaning the
discharge area. The scarifier/aerator head continues to rotate for a few seconds after OPC/Brake lever is
released.
CAUTION
While operating the scarifier/aerator, do not allow the blades/tines to contact concrete, tarmac or gravel
surfaces. Doing so will result in premature wear.
OPERATION
IMPORTANT:
The engine does not come with oil in it. Therefore, be sure to add oil before starting the engine. The oil level
in the engine must be checked each time before operating.
IMPORTANT:
When the engine OPC/brake lever is released, it must return to its initial position and the engine must stop.
If this does not happen, do not use the equipment again.
ENGINE STARTING & STOPPING
To avoid any unintentional start‐ups of the engine, the machine is equipped with an OPC/Brake Lever, which
must be always pressed whilst the device is in use. When released, the engine will stop.
