OPERATING
HINTS
Before starting work clear the lawn of any
objects such as stones or sticks, that would
damage the Scarifier or be thrown out at
dangerously high speeds by the rotating
blades.
Set the operating height adjuster by
screwing the top adjuster knob up or down
so that the blades comb the grass without
touching the soil, then tighten the locking
knob.
THE BLADES MUST NOT BE
ALLOWED TO TOUCH THE
GROUND.
Mount the grassbag onto the Scarifier by
raising the ejection guard and sliding the
grassbag frame lugs into the locating slots
each side of the axle frame.
Always stop the engine and wait for the
rotating blades to stop before removing and
replacing the grassbag.
The CAMON Lawn Scarifier is designed
to allow light, air and water to the roots of
grass to keep it healthy. It does this by
removing thatch which is made up of
organic debris such as cut grass, leaves and
dead moss that has not decomposed.
