Scheppach SC55P Originalbetriebsanleitung Seite 31

Re-sow sections without grass or with little grass af-
ter scarifying. In order to unhook the catch basket,
lift the discharge flap using one hand and remove the
catch bag with the other hand! It depends on the grass
growth of the lawn and the hardness of the soil as to
how often the lawn should be worked.
Keep the underside of the device clean and remove any
earth and grass deposits. Deposits impede the start-
up process and impair the quality. On slopes, the path
should be made perpendicular to the slope. Switch off
the motor before carrying out any checks on the roller.
Attention! The roller continues to rotate for a few sec-
onds after the motor is switched off. Never try to stop
the roller. If the moving roller hits an object, switch off
the device and wait until the roller comes to a complete
stop. Then check the condition of the roller. If dam-
aged, it must be replaced.
10. Maintenance and cleaning
Cleaning
• Keep protective devices, air vents and the motor
housing as free of dust and dirt as possible. Rub
the device clean with a clean cloth or blow it off with
compressed air at low pressure.
• We recommend that you clean the device directly
after every use.
• Clean the device at regular intervals using a damp
cloth and a little soft soap. Do not use any cleaning
products or solvents; they could attack the plastic
parts of the device. Make sure that no water can
penetrate the device interior.
• In order to reduce the risk of fire, keep the engine,
exhaust, battery box and the area surrounding the
fuel tank free of grass, straw, moss, leaves or es-
caping grease.
Maintenance
• A worn or damaged cutting roller should be replaced
by an authorised specialist
• Ensure that all fastening elements (bolts, nuts, etc.)
are always tightened so that it is safe to work with
the scarifier.
• Store your scarifier in a dry space.
• All screwed parts as well as the wheels and axles
should be cleaned and then oiled to ensure a long
service life.
• Regular maintenance of the scarifier will not only en-
sure its durability and performance, but will also help
to scarify your lawn carefully and easily.
• Perform a general check of the scarifier at the end of
the season and remove all accumulated debris. Al-
ways check the condition of the scarifier prior to the
start of the season. Contact our customer service
centre for repairs.
• Check the catcher regularly for wear or damaged
parts.
• Check the machine regularly and replace worn out
or damaged parts for safety reasons.
• If the fuel tank has to be drained, you must do this
outdoors. Store the drained fuel in a special contain-
er for fuel or dispose of it with due care.
Maintenance of the air filter
Fouled air filters diminish the engine output due to re-
duced air supply to the carburettor. Regular inspection
is therefore essential. The air filter should be checked
every 50 operating hours and cleaned as required.
The air filter must be checked more often in case of
very dusty air.
• Dismount the air filter as shown in Fig. 15 + 16.
• Clean the air filter with compressed air or simply by
knocking out any soiling.
• The re-assembly takes place in reverse order
Attention: Never clean the air filter with petrol or flam-
mable solvents.
Spark plug maintenance/change
Check the spark plug for dirt and grime after 10 op-
erating hours and if necessary, clean it with a copper
wire brush. Then service the spark plug every 50 op-
erating hours.
• Pull off the spark plug connector (Fig. 17) with a
twisting motion.
• Use a spark plug wrench to remove the spark plug
(Fig. 18).
• The re-assembly takes place in reverse order.
