is only used once or twice per
year. The lawn aerator works
down to the soil. It effectively
aerates the lawn as a result of
the repeated use and thereby
removes moss and lawn felt
together with moist or downtrod-
den foliage in a much more
careful way. The law should not
be higher than approx. 3 cm as
otherwise, no aerating effect can
be achieved. Long blades of
grass can also get caught in the
aerator cylinder.
Use the lawn aerator in straight
lines and not crosswise or
diagonally. When aerating,
hold the lawn aerator back
slightly and allow it to travel
across the law at a normal walk-
ing pace. Do not pull the running
appliance back when aerating.

functions can be avoided by
carrying out regular inspections
(firm seating of screwed connec-
tions, cracks, damage) and
by replaying damaged or worn
parts.

cylinder can cause injury.
Caution! Before carrying
A
out any work, inspection,
cleaning and repair work, switch
the appliance off and remove
the plug. Risk of injury!
Due to the risk of personal injury
and material damage: do not
clean the appliance under flow-
ing water; especially not under
high pressure.
Maintenance
The appliance is mainly
maintenance-free.
In order to turn the appliance
around at the end of a line,
switch the appliance of, turn it
around and then switch it on
again.
Never lift or carry the appliance
when the motor is running.
Should you make contact with
a foreign body, switch the motor
off and remove the plug. Inspect
the lawn aerator for signs of
damage and carry the necessary
repair out before you restart and
work with the lawn aerator.
Special care is to be taken when
working on embankments and
inclines.
The bottom of the cover is to be
cleaned at regular intervals.
Cleaning
In order to prolong the perform-
ance and serviceable life, the
appliance should be cleaned
before and after each use.
Wipe over the cover with
a moist cloth. Remove the
residual soiling from the aerator
cylinder with a brush.
Storage
Store the appliance in a dry
place where it is protected from
frost. Ensure that children are
unable to access the place of
storage. When storing the appli-
ance, do not place it on the
aerator cylinder as this can result
in a deformation of the springs
and at the same time impair the
operatability. Suspend the appli-
ance in a suitable place.
Repairs
Repairs are only to by carried
out by Brill Service or by autho-
rised Brill dealers.
Deposits make the start process
difficult.
Switch the motor off and
remove the plug if you leave

In order to replace the aerator
cylinder, loosen the aerator
cylinder head screw and pull
the aerator cylinder off the
drive shaft. The prescribed aera-
tor cylinders design can only
be assembled right and left. For
this reason, the aerator cylinder
head is labelled with a R for
right and a L for left. The assem-
bly screw is pre-assembled on
the aerator cylinder. Please
loosen the screw before com-
mencing with the assembly
work. Push the guide for the
right aerator cylinder as far as
possible along the housing drive
