ABOUT SCARIFYING

Dense soil, moss and weeds prevent young grasses from penetrating upwards: the
lawn is matted. Weeds displace the grass.
This scarifier has been designed to rip out moss and weeds of and to aerate the soil.
As a result, the young grass shoots grow and sprout again instead of everything be-
ing covered with moss. The lawn looks clean and can better absorb nutrients.
The lawn scarifier is pushed by hand over the area of grass to be cut. The cutters are
driven by a petrol engine.
The depth of cut is set by varying the central height-adjustment mechanism individ-
ually.
The scarifier can be retrofitted to a lawn aerator in just a few steps.
Scarification – in spring and autumn
The rotating scar is slammed into the soil a few millimetres deep. The cutter deck ro-
tates and removes moss and weeds and collects the scarified material into the grass
catcher. The cutters penetrate and loosen the ground; therefore, the lawn absorbs
nutrients better. The best time of year to scarify a lawn is in spring during the
months of March and April. You should cover a mossy lawn with dense weed growth
at least once a year.
After scarifying, you can sow new grass on the bare spots. After that, the treated ar-
eas need a few weeks of rest, during which you should also not use your lawn mower.
Aeration – throughout the season
The cutter deck (aerator shaft) rotates, combs the lawn and aerates the slightly
mossy areas. The removed moss is conveyed outwards or into the grass catcher.
During aeration, the surface of the ground is scratched; this improves water drain-
age and facilitates the absorption of oxygen.
We recommend aerating the lawn during the entire growing period as when re-
quired.
The aerator roller just scratches the surface of the soil, but it does not tear out
weeds. This helps water to drain off more easily promotes the intake of oxygen. Aer-
ate throughout the growing period.

Use on dry lawn only

No matter whether scarification or aeration: Give your lawn a break if it is wet. After
prolonged rain, your lawn is so softened that it will be destroyed during scarification.
Wait for a one-week period without rain before you use the scarifier.
