Assembling the equipment
The equipment is delivered unassembled. The grass
basket and the complete push bar must be assembled
and mounted before using the equipment. Follow the
operating instructions step-by-step and use the pictures
provided as a visual guide to easily assemble the
equipment.
Fitting the push bar brackets (see Figs. 4 and 5)
Remove the star screw (Fig. 4/Item 1) and the pressure
plate (Fig. 4/Item 2)
Connect the push bar bracket (Fig. 4/Item 3) to the
fastening screw. Ensure that the curve in the tube
(Fig. 5/Item 1) is facing outside.
Now remount the pressure plate and tighten with the
star screw.
Important!
The identical tilt angle must be set for both push bar
brackets.
Fitting the lower push bar (see Fig. 6)
Slide the lower push bar (Fig. 6/Item 1) over the push
bar brackets. Do not forget to slide the stress-relief clip
(Fig. 6/Item 2) onto the tube beforehand.
Now screw the tubes together using the screws
supplied (Fig. 6/Item 3), the plastic sleeves
(Fig. 6/Item 4) and the star screw (Fig. 6/Item 5).
Fitting the upper push bar (see Fig. 7)
Position the upper push bar (Fig. 7) such that its holes
line up with the holes of the lower bar.
Now screw the tubes together using the screws
supplied (Fig. 7/Item 1), the plastic sleeves
(Fig. 7/Item 2) and the star screw (Fig. 7/Item 3).
Using the cable clips supplied (Fig. 8), attach the power
cable to the tubes of the push bars so that it is possible

to open and shut the ejector flap (Fig. 9/Item A).
Important! Please ensure that the ejector flap can be
opened and closed easily!
Adjusting the handlebar height (see Fig. 17)
Loosen the star screw (Fig. 17/Item 1) on both sides of
the scarifier by turning several revolutions. Now adjust
the handlebar to the desired height.
Important!
The height of the handlebar may be adjusted only within
the mark (Fig. 17/Item V) during operation.
Retighten the star screws.
Important!
The identical tilt angle must be set on both sides.
The push bar has a P and an A position (Fig. 17) in order
to save space during storage.
When the bar is moved to the P position, the scarifier
can be pushed into a corner (Fig. 18).
In the “A” position, the scarifier can be folded as shown
in Fig. 19 to take up even less space.
Assembling the grass basket (see Figs. 10 and -13)
Push both frame parts into each other (Fig. 10).
Pull the grass basket over the metal frame (Fig. 11).
Pull the rubber clips over the metal frame (Fig. 12).
To hang the grass basket on the scarifier you must lift
the ejector flap (Fig. 13/Item 10) with one hand and
with the other hand take hold of the grass bag by the
handle and hook it onto the scarifier from above (Fig.
13).

Getting Started
Adjusting the scarifier depth (see Fig. 14)
The scarifier depth is adjusted at both front wheels via
the adjustment mechanism. For this, pull out the
adjusting screw and turn the wheel to the left or right
into one of the available positions (0/I/II/III).
Important!
The scarifier depth must always be identically set on
both sides!
0 = drive/transport position
I = scarifier depth 3 mm
II = scarifier depth 7 mm
III = scarifier depth 9 mm
Starting up
Connect the machine’s power supply cable to the plug
(Fig. 15/Item 1) and secure the power cable with the
stress-relief clip (Fig 15/Item 2).
Important! To prevent accidental start-up of the
equipment, the push-bar (Fig. 16 / Item 1) is equipped
with a safety lock-off (Fig. 16 / Item 2) which must be
pressed before the lever switch (Fig. 16 / Item 3) can be
pressed. If the lever switch is released, the equipment
switches off.
Repeat this process several times so that you are sure
that the machine functions properly. Before you perform
any repair or maintenance work on the machine, ensure
