13
8Adjusting the Scarifier
●ATTENTION!
The working depth with the roller should be max. 3 mm. The aeration roller with
springs should copy the ground surface when working. Adjusting excessive working
depth without visible wear on the blades / springs can damage the roller or overload
and destroy the motor. It can also damage the lawn.
Adjustment after Wear
Use the Depth Adjustment Control (Fig. 1, Section 8) to determine the working depth.
NOTE: The blades and springs are subject to wear due to the way they operate. The
more intensively the scarifier is used, the greater the wear on the blades or the
springs. Hard or very dry soil accelerates the wear process as well as excessive use. If
the results of your work with the aerator become worse due to the wear of the
blades, the roller can be adjusted so that the working depth mentioned above is
always adhered to.
9Putting the Scarifier Into Operation
Before restarting the machine, make sure that the blades have stopped rotating.
Never turn on or off the machine quickly.
Turning on the machine
1. Press and hold the security button [1]. Pull
the trigger lever [2] to the handle.
2. Release the security button.
Turning off the machine
Release the trigger lever [2].

12 Storage and Transport
●ATTENTION! The engine must be completely cooled down before storing the
machine.
●Unplug the machine from the power socket.
●Replace worn or damaged parts.
●Store the machine in a dry, clean and frost-free place, out of reach of unauthorized
people.
●Clean after each use.
●Clean the machine and accessories thoroughly (see "Maintenance and cleaning").
This will prevent the formation of mold.
●Do not store the machine in direct sunlight for a long time.
●Do not use plastic foil as dust protection. The impermeable cover retains moisture
and leads to corrosion.
●You can fold down the guide rail to make it easier to store. To do this, loosen the
wing nuts until the guide rail is loose enough.
●Be careful not to bend any cables.
●NOTE: When storing the machine, make sure that it is free of rust. Wipe the
machine, especially the moving parts, with light oil or silicone.
When moving the machine, the drum must be switched off and the scarifying
plate raised as high as possible.
●Unplug the machine from the power socket before transporting.
●The drum can be damaged during transport, e.g. hard surface, even when the engine
is switched off. Therefore, set the drum to the highest level.
Transport on a Trailer
●Switch off the engine and unplug the machine from the power socket. Protect the
machine from falling and do not place it near other objects. Do not place any other
objects on the machine.

16
13 Scarification / Aeration
●For comfortable work with the machine, it is best to start working closest to the
power supply and then be slowly moving away from the power supply.
●Aerate the lawn at a right angle to the power supply and place the power cord on the
side that has already been treated.
●ATTENTION! Do not subject the engine to excessive stress when working, especially
in difficult conditions. If the engine is stressed, the engine speed will drop and you
will hear a change in engine sound. When this happens, stop working, release the
switch lever and reduce the scarification / aeration depth. Failure to do so could
damage the machine.
NOTE: The motor is protected by a safety fuse that activates when the leaves are
seized or when the motor is overloaded. When this happens, turn off the machine
and remove it from the power supply. The safety lock will reset only if the switch
lever is released. Remove any obstacles and wait a few minutes for the safety lock to
reset so that you can continue working. Do not operate the switch lever at this time,
as this increases the reset time of the safety fuse. If the machine shuts down again,
increase the scarification / aeration depth again to reduce the engine load.
