Before any maintenance or cleaning work, lay the
scarifier down on a level surface, switch off the
engine and remove the spark plug cap from the spark plug.
Never touch the exhaust, spark plug, or other metal
parts of the engine while the engine is running or
immediately after turning off the engine. Doing so can lead
to severe burns or electric shock.
The scarifier has two types of shafts, for different tasks: a
blade shaft and a spring tine shaft. Always wear gloves
when touching the shafts.
To change or replace the shaft proceed as follows:
1. Switch off the engine and allow it to cool down;
2. Remove the spark plug cap;
3. Remove the grass bag;
4. Lift the front of the scarifier slightly;
5. Remove the 4 bolts;
6. Lift the shaft and pull it out in the direction of the arrow;
Assembly:
1. Place the shaft in the hexagonal socket and press the
other side into the holder;
2. Retighten the shaft with the 4 bolts;
3. Check that the shaft is fitted correctly;
4. Proceed in the same way to install the spring tine shaft.
Wash the grass bag with a garden hose and let it dry
completely before using it again. Using the grass bag wet
will cause it to clog quickly.
Dirty air filters reduce engine power, increase fuel
consumption and make start-ups more difficult.
The use of a dirty filter will restrict the air flow in the
carburetor affecting the performance of the scarifier.
If damaged or shrunk, replace with a new one.
1. Remove the cover by pressing the tabs;
2. Remove the filter;
3. Check the filter for damage and replace if necessary;
4. Clean the filter using a compressor, never try to brush
the filter as this may damage;
5. Clean dirt from the inside of the filter housing using a
damp cloth;
6. Reinstall the filter in the housing and place the cover.
