3. Intended use
The equipment can be used both as a scarifier and
an aerator depending on the intended use. Only a few
movements are required to change the roller.
The scarifying roller is designed for ripping moss and
weeds - complete with their roots - out of the soil and for
loosening the soil. As a result your lawn can absorb nutri-
ents better and is cleaned. We recommend you to scarify
your lawn in the spring (April) and autumn (October).
The aerating roller scratches the surface of the lawn,
helping water to drain off more easily as well as pro-
moting oxygen intake. Aerate your lawn throughout the
growing period.
The equipment is intended for private use i.e. for use in
home and gardening environments.
Scarifier for private use are machines whose annual op-
erating time generally does not exceed 10 hours, during
which the machine is primarily used to maintain small-
scale, residential lawns and home/hobby gardens.
Public facilities, sporting halls, and agricultural/forestry
applications are excluded.
The operating instructions as supplied by the manufac-
turer must be kept and referred to in order to ensure
that the equipment is properly used and maintained.
The instructions contain valuable information on oper-
ating, maintenance and servicing conditions.
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. Moreover, the equipment
may not be used as a power cultivator to level out high
areas such as mole hills.
For safety reasons, the scarifier may not be used as a
drive unit for other equipment or toolkits of any kind, un-
less specifically advised to do so by the manufacturer.
The equipment is to be used only for its prescribed pur-
pose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse.
The user / operator and not the manufacturer will be
liable for any damage or injuries of any kind caused as
a result of this.
Please note that our equipment has not been designed for

ranty will be voided if the machine is used in commercial,
