8 PREPARATION

The following parts are included in the packaging for assembly of the scarifier:
• Scarifier
• Pre-assembled handlebar upper section
• Tool bag with the following contents:
– Operator's manual with Declaration of Conformity
– Warranty conditions (depending on model)
– Various fixing parts
In the unlikely event of a missing part, please contact your dealer.
NOTE
Always remove the spark plug connector before fitting the bar and the starter
cable holder. Following assembly, at the latest before starting the engine, push
the spark plug connector back in place.

Assembling the handlebar upper section (Illustration C3 + E3 )

– Push the upper part of the handle onto the lower part of the handle in such a way
that the two saucer-head screws M6x45 (1) can be pushed through the holes in
the handle from the inside C3 .
– From the outside, place the curved washer (2) on the screws on both sides; screw
on the two wing nuts (3) and tighten C3 .
– Push the upper half of the adjustment rod (4) for the scarifier cutter shaft into the
connecting piece (6) on the lower half of the adjustment rod (5), push a hexagonal
screw (7) through from the outside, and screw tight with the wing nut (9) after
having pushed on the plain washer (8) E3 .
– Fasten the cable to the upper part of the handle using the cable tie in the tool bag.

Assembly of switching box (Illustration K1 )

– Open the cover (1).
– Slide the switching box (2) onto the bar (3), at the same time, insert the square bar
(4) into the bearing (5) of the control bar.
Now the switching box is located on the inside of the bar.
– Close the cover (1) from the outside, over the bar and the switching box and screw
firmly using the screws (6) (from the tool bag) and tighten to 1.5 Nm.

Handle starter assembly (Illustration L1 )

– Remove the starter cable holder (1) from the tool bag.
– Unscrew the nut until the two halves can be pushed over the bar.
– There is a sticker (2) on the top bar showing the position of the starter cable
holder.
NOTE
For reasons of safety, the starter cable holder may only be fitted in the
prescribed position.
– Pull the starter cable (3) out and insert it into the starter cable holder.
– Fit the two halves (4) together and turn them inwards slightly, tighten the nut again.
This prevents the starter cable popping out.
The starter cable holder must be fitted / aligned in such a way that the starter cable
is freely accessible and does not rub against any other parts.

9 BEFORE USING THE SCARIFIER FOR THE FIRST TIME

Check all screw connections and the spark plug connector for a tight fit. Tighten the
screws if necessary. Special attention must be paid to the assembly and condition of
the cutter blade shaft (refer to the chapter "Cutter blade shaft care").
Always have work on the cutter blade shaft done by an authorised specialist workshop.
If the cutter blade shaft is assembled incorrectly parts can become loose, which can
lead to serious injuries.
The scarifier is equipped with a motor stop device.
Before using the equipment for the first time, make sure that the motor stop safety
control bar is working perfectly. When the control bar is released, the engine and the
Safety instruction!
See table for explanation of symbols page 3
cutting tool must come to a standstill (Note! The cutting tool runs on for a while!). If this
is not the case, please consult your nearest authorised workshop.
After release, the bar must always return to the position shown in the "component
description" diagram.
If this is not the case, it must be checked immediately by an authorised workshop.
Machine safety and protective devices must not be manipulated or disabled!
Make sure that all protective devices have been attached properly and are not
damaged.

Check the oil level and fill with oil (Figure Y1 )

IMPORTANT
Avoid damage! Engine is delivered without oil. You must add oil before running
the engine.
– The scarifier must stand horizontally on level ground.
– Remove any dirt from the oil filling area.
– Take out the dipstick (1) and wipe it off with a clean cloth.
– Insert the new dipstick (1). Do not turn or tighten it.
– Pull out the dipstick (1) and check the oil level. If the oil level is correct, the oil will
reach up to the full mark (2) of the dipstick.
– If the oil level is too low, slowly pour motor oil into the filling hole (3) (for quantity
and quality, see technical data). The oil level should reach up to the lower edge of
the filling hole.
– Insert the dipstick (1) again and tighten.

Filling with fuel

– Only fill the tank with fresh and clean unleaded standard petrol.
Fuel with up to 10% ethanol is acceptable.
– Unscrew tank cap.
– Fill tank with fuel using a funnel up to max. lower edge of filling nozzle.
– Replace tank cap and screw tight.
10 STARTING THE ENGINE
(ILLUSTRATION Z2 + S2 + A2 + E + Q2 )
Before starting the motor, ensure that the blade shaft is in the lifting position (1)
Z2 .
Only start the motor when standing behind the machine. Always place the scarifier on a
level area which is not covered with high grass (if the grass is too high it will block the
cutter blade shaft start-up and make starting the scarifier more difficult). When the
engine is started, the machine must not be tilted on end, if necessary it must be tilted by
pressing the guide bar down so that the cutting tool is pointing in the direction away
from the user, but only as far as absolutely necessary. As long as the equipment has
not been lowered to the ground again, both your hands must be on the top part of the
bar.
CAUTION
Hold the starter cable handle firmly when starting. The handle may otherwise slip
out of your hand. Risk of injury!
– Open the fuel cock (2) S2 .
– In a cold engine, push the choke lever on the engine (3) in position "Choke"
– Move the throttle control lever (4) backwards to position "Hare". During engine
operation, the throttle control lever should remain in "Hare" position.
– To start the engine, first hold the red button (5) pressed and then pull the control
handle (6) on the top guide tube. During operation, the control handle must remain
held in this position A2 .
– Slowly pull the starter cable (7) until resistance is felt, then pull it out rapidly, – the
engine begins to run, slowly recoil the cable E .
– Under certain circumstances the starting process must be repeated.
– After the engine has warmed up, push the choke lever (3) forwards in operating
position Q2 .
– In an operationally hot engine, push the choke lever on the engine (3) forwards in
operating position. Start the engine as described above.
– If the engine does not start running, then proceed as when starting a cold engine.
