It is mandatory to switch off the engine when
transporting the machine between working areas.
7.1. FIXING THE MACHINE AND GUIDANCE
Whilst working, always hold the scarifier with both
hands. Always be behind the scarifier and push the
machine forward. Do not run with the scarifier, walk
at a constant speed that allows the machine to scarify
the lawn.
7.2. ADJUSTING THE CUTTING HEIGHT
Attention! Stop the machine and wait for the blade
to stop before adjusting the height adjustment. The
blades need a few moments to stop completely after
stopping the engine.
7.3. CUTTING WITH THE SCARIFIER
Place the scarifier in one corner of the working area
and adjust the cutting height adjustment to the
desired place.
Check that the catcher is correctly placed, check that
the blade is not in contact with any object and start
the scarifier.
Walk at a pace that allows the scarifier to work
correctly.
Empty the catcher when full. When emptying the
catcher, always turn the machine off and ensure that
the blade has stopped before removing the catcher.
To regulate the height
adjustment, press the
lever outwards and move
it or up or down to the
desired spot.
If you have to transport the machine between two
working areas, always switch off the machine before
transporting.
Note: You will obtain better results and the machine
will suffer less, if before scarifying, you cut the grass
and you leave it as short as possible.
8. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
The removal of the security measures,
an inappropriate maintenance, the
substitution of parts by non original spare
parts and accessories could result in severe body
harm.
Always carry out maintenance work or servicing
with the machine unplugged from the mains.
Unplug the machine before carrying out any
maintenance work. Read the instruction manual
before carrying out any work.
Carry out periodic checks on the machine to
ensure its correct functioning. For a complete check
up, we recommend you take the machine to your after
sales dealer.
Keep the machine clean, specially the engine air
vents.
8.1. CLEANING
Clean the scarifier with a damp cloth. Never use water,
petrol or other liquids when cleaning the machine.
Use a nylon brush to clean the grass that accumulates
underneath the scarifier and the blade. Never use a
metallic brush that could damage your scarifier.
