1. Always observe safety rules when performing any maintenance.
2. The warranty on this scarifier/aerator does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or
negligence. To receive full value from the warranty, the operator must maintain the scarifier/aerator as
instructed.
3. Changing of the engine-governed speed will void engine warranty.
4. All adjustments should be checked at least once each season.

Always stop engine, disconnect spark plug, and ground the spark plug cap against the engine before
performing any type of maintenance on your machine.
Lubrication
1. Lubricate pivot points on the OPC/brake lever at least once a season with general maintenance spray. This
control must operate freely in both directions.
2. Lubricate the wheels at least once a season with general maintenance spray. If wheels are removed for
any reason, lubricate surface of the axle bolt and inner surface of the wheel with general maintenance
spray.
3. Oil the cables at regular intervals and check that they move easily.
Check/Add Oil
1. Remove the dipstick and wipe with a clean cloth (Fig 9 - A).
2. Insert the dipstick into the filler neck without screwing it in.
3. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. The oil level should be in between the MIN. and MAX. levels
on the dipstick.
4. If low, add oil slowly into the engine oil fill tube (the use of a funnel will aid the filling). Do not overfill.
After adding oil wait one minute and then recheck the oil level.
5. Replace and tighten the dipstick.
