Charging The Battery (Figure W1 ); Battery Level Indicator (Figure U4 ); Initial Use Of The Scarifier; Starting The Engine (Figure A2 ) - Sabo 33-V ACCU Betriebsanleitung

The scarifier is fitted with an engine stop device.
Before using the equipment for the first time, make sure that the engine stop safety
control bar is working perfectly. When the safety grip is released, the engine must
switch off and the cutting tool must come to a standstill (Caution! The cutting tool
runs 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
"Description of components" 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.

10 INITIAL USE OF THE SCARIFIER

Starting the engine (figure A2 )

Before starting the engine, ensure that the cutter shaft is in the
lifting position (1) Z2 .
Only start the engine when standing behind the scarifier.
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 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 device is not on all 4 wheels,
both of your hands must be on the top part of the bar.

perfectly:
–
If this is not the case, please consult your nearest authorised workshop.

13 ADJUSTING THE SCARIFYING DEPTH

The scarifying depth must only be adjusted with the engine switched off!
The working depth depends on the blade wear, and must also be set taking into
account the relevant grass and ground conditions.
Always check and adjust the scarifying depth on a level area of lawn.
With the cutter shaft lowered, the blade should just be in contact with the turf.
A working depth of up to 3 mm is recommended. In the case of a well-tended lawn
with soft ground, the scarifying depth can be set slightly deeper. In case of a very
mossy lawn surface, the initial working depth should be slightly less.

Setting (figure Z2 + V2 )

The cutter shaft is in the lifting position (1) upon delivery Z2 .

Press and hold the start button (14) with your right hand.
Press the engine stop safety control bar (1) on the top part of the bar with
your left hand.
The cutter now runs as long as the safety control bar is kept pressed.
Release the start button.
Release the safety control bar F .
Wait until the cutting tool comes to a stop.
Remove the safety key K2 .
The cutting tool will stop.
The engine will stop.
When the safety grip is released, the engine must switch off and the cutting
tool must come to a standstill (Caution! The cutting tool runs for a while!).
The scarifying depth is preset with the help of the grey latching element (2).
Press the latching element down slightly and engage it again in the desired
position V2 . This latching element allows you to find the set working position
again at any time.
The cutter shaft is lowered to the selected working depth using the black lever (3)
on the left. First press the lever down slightly and then pull it to the stop on the
latching element (2) V2 . The device can be lifted slightly at the top bar until the
back wheels are no longer in contact with the ground in order to reduce the
leverage forces.
To raise the cutter shaft from the set working position, the lever (3) is first pressed
down and then pushed all the way forward. The cutter shaft is no longer is use in
pos. (1). This does not change the preset scarifying depth Z2 .
On a new machine, engage the latching element (2) in the "MIN" position.
Start the engine.
Lower the cutter shaft.
