11.3 Preparing the Lawn
The shorter the lawn is mown, the better the
scarifying results. The ideal grass height is
between 2 cm and 3 cm.
► Remove objects from the work area.
► Mark stationary obstacles (e.g. roots and tree
trunks).
► If the grass is higher than 3 cm: mow the lawn.
11.4 Scarifying and Combing
Scarifying with the scarifying roller
Scarifying involves scratching the turf to remove
weeds, moss, old clippings and lawn thatch.
► Adjust the working depth.
► Place the roller in the highest position
before starting.
► Slowly lower the roller so it is just scarifying
the ground. The ideal scarifying depth is
between 2 mm and 3 mm.
The grass roots are not damaged.
► Ensure that the extension cable is routed in
such a way that it is visible and always behind
the lawn scarifier.
► Push the lawn scarifier forwards slowly and in
a controlled manner.
► Avoid staying stationary in one place for any
duration.
Combing with the combing roller
Combing involves carefully removing lawn thatch
and excess moss previously loosened by scarify‐
ing from the lawn.
In addition, it counteracts soil compaction and
the resulting lack of oxygen in the soil.
► Adjust the working depth.
► Place the roller in the highest position
before starting.
► Slowly lower the roller until the spring-tines
touch the ground.
► Ensure that the extension cable is routed in
such a way that it is visible and always behind
the lawn scarifier.
► Push the lawn scarifier forwards slowly and in
a controlled manner.
