the starting lever and reset the imple-
ment after a cooling down period of
approx. 1 minute.
WARNING! The cylinder con-
tinues to run for a brief period
after the implement has been
switched off. Do not tilt or carry
the implement while the motor
is still running and do not touch
the cylinder while it is still rotat-
ing.Danger of injury!

Working with the implement

To maintain a well cared-for lawn it should
be aerated every 4 to 6 weeks.
Verticuting is a more intensive intervention
than aerating and should only be carried
out once a year, the best time being in
spring after the lawn has been mown for
the first time.
When working on slopes always
proceed across the slope. Be
particularly careful when walking
backwards and pulling the imple-
ment. Danger of stumbling!
The shorter the grass, the better the
lawn can be treated. Furthermore,
the implement is less stressed and
the service life of the cylinder is pro-
longed.
• The implement can be operated with
or without the collection bag.
Recommendation: Work with the col-
lection bag for aerating and without
the collection bag for verticuting.
• To ensure that the collision guard flap
closes properly, remove any earth that
may have collected on the collision
guard springs and/or the housing.

When working without the bag, check
that the collision guard flap is tightly
closed.
• Mow the lawn to the required grass
height.
• Do not use the scarifier in long grass.
It may otherwise wind around the
scarifier blade and result in damage to
the equipment.
• Select the appropriate working or
readjustment position (in the event of
cylinder wear) so that the implement
is not overloaded.
• Commence work in the vicinity of the
power socket and proceed away from
the socket.
• Always ensure that the extension
cable is behind you, and after turning
move it to the side that has already
been treated.
• Guide the implement at a walking
pace down lanes that are as straight
as possible. To ensure uninterrupted
aerating or verticuting the individual
lanes should always overlap by a few
centimetres. Dwelling too long at the
same place while the implement is
running can damage the grass sward.
• To ensure that the extension cable
is not an impediment, turn the imple-
ment in such a manner that the cable
strain release on the bar always faces
the side that has been treated.
After work and to transport the im-
plement disconnect the power plug
and wait until the cylinder is stand-
ing still.
• Adjust the transport position setting
(see "Setting the Working Position")
when transporting the implement.
• Lift the implement to transport it over
steps and sensitive surfaces (e.g. tiles).
