ATTEMPT TO STOP THE ROLLER BLADE.
Proper Use
The scarifying roller is designed for removing lawn thatch, moss and weeds
from your lawn. It also helps loosens the soil, in turn improving airow and
drainage which allows your lawn to better absorb nutrients and promotes
growth. Before scarifying, your lawn should be cut; grass height not more
than 5cm.
Scarifying can be done once a year before Spring, from about October through
to February.
WARNING! DUE TO THE HIGH RISK OF BODILY INJURY
TO THE USER, THE EQUIPMENT MAY NOT BE USED
TO GRIND UP BRANCH OR HEDGE CLIPPINGS. IN
ADDITION, THE EQUIPMENT MAY NOT BE USED AS A
POWER CULTIVATOR TO LEVEL OUT HIGH AREAS.
• Cut your lawn before scarifying, grass height not more than 5cm.
• It is recommended to start with smallest working depth position setting -3mm
(shallowest) and complete a trial cut on a small section of the lawn and re-
adjust if necessary.
•Make sure the lawn is clear of sticks, stones, wire and debris; they could be
thrown by the blade.
•It is recommended not to use the Scarifier in poor visibility conditions, in the
rain or when the grass is wet.
•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.
•Always scarify along the incline (not up and down).
•For safety reasons, the scarier may not be used to scarify inclines whose
gradient exceeds 15 degrees.
•Use special caution when backing up and pulling the scarier (tripping
hazard).
•It is recommended that you
overlap scarifying paths a
little.
•Try to scarify in straight lines
for a nice, clean look. In so
doing, the aeration swaths
should always overlap each
other by a few centimetres in
order to avoid bare strips.
•Keep the underside of the equipment clean and remove soil and grass build-
up. Deposits make it more difficult to start the scarifier and decrease the
quality of the scarifying.
•For optimum operation, always scarify in a straight line; do not swing the
scarifier from side to side.
Run Time
The operating time of the PXC battery (the area in square meters that can be
covered with a single battery charge) is largely dependent on the state of the
grass (e.g. Density, moisture, height, scarifying depth, etc.) and the scarier
speed (walking speed).
Frequently turning the equipment on and off while scarifying will also reduce the
amount of area that you can cover. If the operating time of the PXC battery (area
coverage) is still unsatisfactory in spite of the above measures, you can remedy
the problem by using PXC batteries with a larger capacity (Ah).
WARNING! ALWAYS WEAR STURDY, NON-SLIP
FOOTWEAR, LONG TROUSERS, SAFETY GLASSES AND
HEARING PROTECTION WHEN USING THE EQUIPMENT.
NEVER USE THE EQUIPMENT BAREFOOT OR IN SANDALS
WARNING! ALWAYS WEAR HEAVY DUTY GLOVES WHEN
CLEANING THE EQUIPMENT, THE BLADES ARE VERY
SHARP AND CAN CUT YOU WHEN IT IS NOT MOVING.

BLADE HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED, REMOVE SAFETY
KEY, BATTERY AND GRASS CATCHER PRIOR TO ANY
MAINTENANCE.
Cleaning
• Keep the ventilation slots of the machine clean at all times to ensure
efcient operation.
• After each use, blow it with compressed air at low pressure through the
machine housing to ensure it is free from all dust, dirt, etc. Build up of dust or
dirt particles may cause the machine to overheat and shorten the life of the
machine.
• If the housing of the machine requires cleaning, do not use solvents. Use of a
soft cloth and brush only is recommended.
• Never allow any liquid to get inside the machine, never immerse any part of
the machine into liquid or clean the scarier with running water, particularly
with high-pressure water.
Maintenance
• A worn out or damaged roller blade should be replaced by an authorised
expert.
• Take care that all fastening elements (screws, nuts, etc.) are rmly tightened,
so that you can work safely with the scarier.
• Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
Storage
• When not in use, the machine should be stored in a dry, frost free location,
keep out of children’s reach.
• Store the equipment and its accessories in a dark and dry place at above
freezing temperature. The ideal storage temperature is between 5°C and
30°C.
• Remove the batteries and safety key from the scarier when in storage.
• Allow the motor to cool before you put
the equipment in an enclosed area.
• The handle has a Pposition in order to
take up less space during storage. To
adopt this position you must loosen the
quick-release levers by approx. 3 turns
to allow for the higher parking position.
With the handle in this position, the
scarier can be stood in a corner in
minimum space. When you return the
handle to the working position, remember
to tighten the quick-release levers again
by 3 turns!
Transport
• Switch the machine off and remove both batteries and safety key before
transporting it.
• Set the depth adjustment lever to +3 transport position.
• For easier transport and/or storage, open the quick-release levers enough
to allow the handle to be ipped together at these points. Take care not to
damage the cable and the handle tubes.
• Protect the machine from damage and the strong vibrations that can occur
particularly when transporting in vehicles.
• Secure the machine against slipping and tipping over.
Note: Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any damage or injuries
caused by the repair of the scarier by an unauthorised person or by
mishandling of the scarier. This machine is designed for
DIY use - use in commercial or industrial environments will void the warranty.
