8. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The lawn scarifier is pushed by hand over the area of grass to be cut. The cutters are driven by a petrol engine.
The depth of cut is set by varying the central height-adjustment mechanism individually.
Scarification:
The cutter deck rotates and removes the felt layer formed by moss, lichen and weeds and conveys the
scarified material to the outside or into the grass catcher. During cutting the cutters penetrate the ground and
therefore ensure that the lawn is loosened and absorbs nutrients better. We recommend scarifying the lawn in
spring (April/May) and autumn (October).
Aerating:
The cutter deck (aerator shaft) rotates and combs the lawn or aerates the slightly mossy areas. The removed
moss is conveyed outwards or into the grass catcher. During aeration the surface of the ground is scratched;
this improves water drainage and facilitates the absorption of oxygen.
We recommend aerating the lawn during the entire growing period as when required.
9. MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
