Before Starting The Equipment; Operation - Scheppach 5911902903 Originalbetriebsanleitung

Warning!
The scarifier is delivered unassembled. The grass
basket and the complete push bar must be assem-
bled and mounted before using the scarifier. Follow
the operating instructions step-by-step and use the
pictures provided as a visual guide to easily assem-
ble the machine.

7. Before starting the equipment

n Important!
You must fully assemble the appliance before
using it for the first time!
Mounting of the guide rail (Fig. 3 - 9)
• Fit the lower push bar (4) as shown in Figures 3+4.
Affix the bar with four hexagonal screws (E,F), two
washers (G), two plastic star grip nuts (5) and two
locknuts (D).
• Connect the upper push bar (handle) (1) to the lower
push bar (4). To do so, use two plastic star grip nuts
(5) with the corresponding hexagonal screws (F) and
washers (G) (Fig. 5+6)
• Attach the cable pull retainer (B) to the right side of
the handlebar as shown in Figure 7.
• Fix the cables with the two cable clamps (A) on the
push handle. (Figure 8 + 9)
Mounting the grass catcher (Fig. 10 - 11)
• Lift the ejection flap (Fig. 11 / Item 7) with one
hand and hook in the catching basket (Fig. 11 /
Item 6) with the other hand on the handle from
above. Attention! To hang the grass catcher, the
engine must be switched off and the roller must
not turn!
Adjusting the scarifying depth (Fig.12)
The scarifying depth is set using the depth adjust-
ment (11). To do this, gently pull the depth adjustment
(11) to the left or the right to set the required posi-
tion. The height can be adjusted infinitely from 0mm
to -15mm.
If the transport lever (3) is in the transport position,
the blades do not touch the ground.
m ATTENTION: Move the transport lever (3) (Fig.
12) into the transport position in order to make the
roller non-contacting. Only move the scarifier in the
transport position when not scarifying/aerating.
Adjusting the aerator roller depth
In order to guarantee faultless operation and avoid
damage to the aerator roller, only use the aerator
roller with the depth setting "O".
Change the roller (Fig. 19-23)
ATTENTION! Be sure to wear gloves!
Remove the hexagonal screws and the retainer plate.
Lift the roller at 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 brack-
et. Use the hexagonal screws to fasten the roller
back onto the housing.

8. Operation

Important!
The engine does not come with oil in it. There-
fore, be sure to add oil before starting the en-
gine. The oil level in the engine must be checked
each time before carrying out any work.
Starting the equipment
In order to avoid any unintentional start-ups of the en-
gine, it comes equipped with an engine brake (Fig. 1/
Item 1) which must be pressed at all times whilst the
device is in use, otherwise the engine will stop. Impor-
tant: When the engine brake lever is released it must
return to its initial position and the engine must stop. If
this is not the case, do not use the equipment again.
1. Move the main switch into the "ON" position (Fig.
14/ item a) and then open the petrol valve (item
c). Set the cock to "ON" for this purpose.
2. Set the choke lever (Fig. 14/Item A) to the
"Choke" position. Note: Normally the choke is not
required to restart a warm engine.
3. Press the engine brake lever (Fig. 13) and pull the
starter cable (Item 14) forcefully until the engine starts.
4. Allow the engine to warm up briefly and then set
the choke lever (Fig. 13 / Item A) to the "RUN"
Position.
5. The speed of the cutter unit can be controlled us-
ing the throttle lever (Fig. 14 / Item b).
6. Move the transport lever (3) into the working position
Important: Always pull the starter cable slowly until
you feel the initial resistance before you then pull it
quickly to start the engine. Do not allow the starter
cable to whip back of its own accord.
Attention: Do not start the engine if the transport le-
ver (3) is in the working position!
Important: The scarifier roller begins to rotate as
soon as the engine is started.
Speed adjustment (Fig. 1)
The speed can be adjusted via the throttle lever (15).
We recommend working at high speed.
Important! Never open the ejector flap when the
motor is running. A rotating cutting unit can cause
injuries. Always fasten 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 housing. Be especially careful when scarify-
ing and changing direction on slopes and inclines.
