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 within
the mark (Fig. 17/Item V) during operation.
Retighten the star screws.
Important!
The identical tilt angle must be set on both sides.
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 1) 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).
Important!
Before you ever hook the grass basket to the
scarifier you must ensure that the motor is switched
off and the cutting unit is not rotating.
6. 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

7. 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 that the cutting unit is not rotating
and that the power supply is disconnected.
Important! Never open the ejector flap when the
motor is running. A rotating cutting unit can
cause injuries.
Always fasten the ejector flap carefully. The flap flips
back to the "Closed" position by the tension springs!
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.
Maintain a solid footing and wear sturdy, non-slip
footwear and long trousers. Always scarify along the
incline (not up and down).
For safety reasons, the scarifier may not be used to
scarify inclines whose gradient exceeds 15 degrees.
Use special caution when backing up and pulling the
scarifier (tripping hazard)!

8. Tips for proper working

It is recommended that you overlap scarifying paths
a little.
Try to scarify in straight lines for a nice, clean look.
Insodoing, the aeration swaths should always
overlap each other by a few centimeters in order to
