Operation - EINHELL RG-SA 1433 Originalbetriebsanleitung

Notice!
The scarifi er depth must always be identically set
on both sides!
0 = drive/transport position
I = scarifi er depth 3 mm
II = scarifi er depth 7 mm
III = scarifi er depth 9 mm
Electrical connection
The equipment can be connected to any normal
socket with 230V AC. It is only acceptable to con-
nect it to a shockproof socket with a 16A circuit
breaker. Furthermore, a residual-current-operated
protective device with max. 30 mA should be con-
nected upstream.
Power cable
Please only use power cables that are not dama-
ged. The total length of the power cable should
not exceed 50 meters; going beyond this distance
will reduce the power output of the electric motor.
The power cable must have a cross-section of 3 x
1.5 mm2. The insulating sheath of scarifi er power
cables is frequently damaged.
Some of the causes for this are:
•
Cracking from running over the cable
•
Pinching when the power cable is dragging
under doors and pulled through windows
•
Cracking due to old age of the insulation
•
Kinking by improperly fastening or guiding the
power cable
The power cables must, at the very minimum, be
of type HO5RN-F and 3-stranded. The cable type
must be printed somewhere on the power cable.
Only purchase power cables that are marked as
such! Plugs and socket couplers for the power
cables must be made from rubber and be splash-
proof. There is a limit to how long power cables
can be. Longer power cables require larger con-
ductor cross-sections. Power cables and connec-
ting lines must be regularly checked for damage.
Ensure that the lines are deenergized before che-
cking them. Completely unwind the power cable.
Also check power cable entry points, plugs and
socket couplers for kinks.

6. Operation

Connect the machine's power supply cable to the
plug (Fig. 15/Item 1) and secure the power cable
with the stress-relief clip (Fig 15/Item 2).

Danger!
To prevent accidental start-up of the
equipment, the push-bar (Fig. 16 / Item 1) is
equipped with a safety lock-off (Fig. 16 / Item 2)
which must be pressed before the lever switch
(Fig. 16 / Item 3) 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 perform any repair or maintenance work on
the machine, ensure that the cutting unit is not ro-
tating and that the power supply is disconnected.
Danger!
Never open the ejector fl ap when the
motor is running. A rotating cutting unit can cause
injuries. Always fasten the ejector fl ap carefully.
The fl ap fl ips 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 housing. 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 sca-
rify along the incline (not up and down).
For safety reasons, the scarifi er may not be used
to scarify inclines whose gradient exceeds 15 de-
grees. Use special caution when backing up and
pulling the scarifi er (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.
Insodoing, the aeration swaths should always
overlap each other by a few centimeters in order
to avoid bare strips.
As soon as grass clippings start to trail the scari-
fi er, 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 fl ap
with one hand, while unhooking the basket with
the other.
How frequently you should scarify your lawn is
determined primarily by the speed at which the
grass grows and the hardness of the soil.
Keep the underside of the equipment clean and
