Remove the Allen screws and lift the roller on this end.
Pull the roller in the direction of the arrow, out of the
drive square. Slide the new roller in the direction of the
arrow back into the drive square and then press it into
the bracket. Use the Allen screws to fasten the roller
back onto the housing.
8. Operation
To prevent accidental start-up of the equipment, the
push-bar (Fig. 1 / Item 1) is equipped with a safety lock-
off (Fig. 1 / Item 2) which must be pressed before the
lever switch (Fig. 1 / Item 1) 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 per-
form 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 fas-
ten 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 hous-
ing. 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)!
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. Inso-
doing, the aeration swaths should always overlap each
other by a few centimetres in order to avoid bare strips.
As soon as grass clippings start to trail the scarifier, it
is time to empty the grass basket.
Danger! Before taking off the grass basket, switch
off the motor and wait until the roller has come to
a stop.

To remove the grass basket, lift up the ejector flap with
one hand, while unhooking the basket with the other.
How frequently you should scarify your lawn is deter-
mined primarily by the speed at which the grass grows
and the hardness of the soil. Keep the underside of the
equipment clean and remove soil and grass build-up.
Deposits make it more difficult to start the aerator and
decrease the quality of the scarifying. Always scarify
along inclines (not up and down). Switch off the motor
before doing any checks on the roller.
Danger!
The roller rotates for a few seconds after the motor is
switched off . Never attempt to stop the roller. In the
event that the rotating roller strikes an object, immedi-
ately switch off the equipment and wait for the roller to
come to a complete stop.
Then inspect the condition of the roller. Replace any
parts that are damaged. Lay the power cable on the
ground in loops in front of the power outlet. Scarify away
from the power outlet and cable, making sure that the
power cable always trails in the already scarified grass
so that the equipment does not travel over the cable.
9.
Electrical connection
The electrical motor installed is connected and
ready for operation. The connection complies with
the applicable VDE and DIN provisions. The custom-
er's mains connection as well as the extension ca-
ble used must also comply with these regulations.
Damaged electrical connection cable
The insulation on electrical connection cables is often
damaged.
This may have the following causes:
• Passage points, where connection cables are
passed through windows or doors.
• Kinks where the connection cable has been improp-
erly fastened or routed.
• Places where the connection cables have been cut
due to being driven over.
• Insulation damage due to being ripped out of the wall
outlet.
• Cracks due to the insulation ageing.
Such damaged electrical connection cables must not
be used and are life-threatening due to the insulation
damage.
Check the electrical connection cables for damage
regularly. Make sure that the connection cable does
not hang on the power network during the inspection.
