4. Intended use

The equipment can be used both as a scarifier and
an aerator depending on the intended use. Only a
few movements are required to change the roller.
The scarifying roller is designed for ripping moss and
weeds - complete with their roots - out of the soil and
for loosening the soil. As a result your lawn can
absorb nutrients better and is cleaned. We
recommend you to scarify your lawn in the spring
(April) and autumn (October).
The aerating roller scratches the surface of the lawn,
helping water to drain off more easily as well as
promoting oxygen intake. Aerate your lawn
throughout the growing period.
Please note that our equipment has not been
designed for use in commercial, trade or industrial
applications. Our warranty will be voided if the
equipment is used in commercial, trade or industrial
businesses or for equivalent purposes.
Power supply
The scarifier can be connected to any light socket
(with 230 volts of alternating current). However, the
socket outlet must have an earthing contact
protected by a 16 A circuit breaker. Additionally, a
residual current device (RCD) circuit-breaker with
max. 30 mA must be used!
Power cable
Please only use power cables that are not damaged.
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 scarifier 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
Even though power cables with damaged insulation
sheaths pose a lethal hazard, some people still use
them. Do not make this mistake!
Cables, plugs and socket couplers must meet the
following requirements listed below. Power cables
used to hook up lawn aerators must have a rubber

insulation sheath.
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 conductor cross-sections.
Power cables and connecting lines must be regularly
checked for damage. Ensure that the lines are de-
energized before checking them. Completely unwind
the power cable. Also check power cable entry
points, plugs and socket couplers for kinks.
The equipment is intended for private use i.e. for use
in home and gardening environments.
Scarifiers for private use are machines whose annual
operating time generally does not exceed 10 hours,
during which the machine is primarily used to
maintain small-scale, residential lawns and
home/hobby gardens. Public facilities, sporting halls,
and agricultural/forestry applications are excluded.
The operating instructions as supplied by the
manufacturer must be kept and referred to in order to
ensure that the equipment is properly used and
maintained. The instructions contain valuable
information on operating, maintenance and servicing
conditions.
Important! Due to the high risk of bodily injury to the
user, the equipment may not be used to grind up
branch or hedge clippings. Moreover, the equipment
may not be used as a power cultivator to level out
high areas such as mole hills.
For safety reasons, the equipment may not be used
as a drive unit for other work tools or tool sets of any
kind.

5. Assembling the equipment

The equipment is delivered unassembled. The grass
basket and the complete push bar must be
assembled and mounted before using the
equipment. Follow the operating instructions step-by-
step and use the pictures provided as a visual guide
to easily assemble the equipment.
