Cleaning, Maintenance And Ordering Of Spare Parts - EINHELL GE-SC 35/1 Li Manual De Instrucciones

6. Operation
Caution!
The scarifi er is equipped with a safety switch to
prevent unauthorized use. Directly before starting
up the scarifi er insert the safety plug (Fig. 21/Item
20) and remove the safety plug again when inter-
rupting or terminating your work.
To prevent accidental start-up of the scarifi er, the
push bar (Fig. 22/Item 5) is equipped with a safety
lock-off (Fig. 22/Item 2) which must be pressed
before the lever switch (Fig. 22/Item 1) can be
pressed. The start time for the equipment can
amount to several seconds. If the lever switch is
released, the scarifi er switches off . Repeat this
process several times so that you are sure that
your equipment functions properly. Always pull
out the safety plug before performing any adjus-
ting, repair, maintenance or cleaning work on the
equipment. Make sure that the spike drum is not
rotating.
Danger! Never open the ejector fl ap when the
motor is running. A rotating cutting unit can cause
injuries.
Always fasten the ejector fl ap carefully. The fl ap
fl ips 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
scarifying and changing direction on slopes and
inclines. Maintain a solid footing and wear sturdy,
non-slip footwear and long trousers. Always sca-
rify along the incline (not up and down).
For safety reasons, the scarifi er may not be used
to scarify inclines whose gradient exceeds 15
degrees.
Use special caution when backing up and pulling
the scarifi er (tripping hazard)!
Tips for proper working
It is recommended that you overlap scarifying
paths a little.
Try to scarify in straight lines for a nice, clean look.
Insodoing, the aeration swaths should always
overlap each other by a few centimeters in order
to avoid bare strips.
If you use the catch bag which is available as an
option, it has to be emptied as soon as grass clip-
pings start to trail behind during scarifying.

Danger! Before taking off the grass basket,
switch off the motor and wait until the roller
has come to a stop.
To remove the grass basket, lift up the ejector fl ap
with one hand, while unhooking the basket with
the other.
How frequently you should scarify your lawn is
determined primarily by the speed at which the
grass grows and the hardness of the soil.
Keep the underside of the equipment clean and
remove soil and grass build-up. Deposits make it
more diffi cult to start the aerator and decrease the
quality of the scarifying.
Always scarify along inclines (not up and down).
Switch off the motor before doing any checks on
the roller.
Danger!
The roller rotates for a few seconds after the
motor is switched off . Never attempt to stop the
roller. In the event that the rotating roller strikes
an object, immediately switch off the equipment
and wait for the roller to come to a complete stop.
Then inspect the condition of the roller. Replace
any parts that are damaged (see section 7.4).
Tips on aerating properly with the aerator
roller available as an option.
The way of working for aerating is the same as for
scarifying.
You should therefore observe these safety inst-
ructions and notes on working practice.
7. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Danger!
Always pull out the safety plug before performing
any adjusting, repair, maintenance or cleaning
work on the equipment. Make sure that the spike
drum is not rotating.
7.1 Cleaning
•
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it with compressed air at low
pressure.
•
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished
using it.
