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 ab-
sorb nutrients better and is cleaned. We recommend
you to scarify your lawn in the spring (April) and au-
tumn (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. Scarifiers for
private use are machines whose annual operating time
generally does not exceed 10 hours, during which the
machine is primarily used to maintain small-scale, res-
idential lawns and home/hobby gardens.
Public facilities, sporting halls, and agricultural/forest-
ry applications are excluded.
The operating instructions as supplied by the manu-
facturer 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.
m 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,
unless specifically advised to do so by the manufac-
turer.
The equipment is to be used only for its prescribed
purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of
misuse. The user / operator and not the manufactur-
er 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
