5. START UP INSTRUCTIONS
5.1. LIST OF MATERIALS
This machine includes the following elements
that you will find inside the box:
• Grass Comber
• Catcher
• Top handle
• Lower handle
• Screws
• Connecting with nut
• Instruction manual
Remove carefully all the elements from the box
and make sure that all listed parts are included.
Due to the quality controls done at the factory
it is highly improbable that your machine has
any faulty part or that any elements are missing.
If you find any damaged part or there are any
elements missing, do not use the machine until
the problem has been solved or you have been
given the missing parts. Usage of the machine
with defective or missing parts is dangerous and
could result in personal injuries.
5.2. MOUNTING THE HANDLE
The handle comes unmounted from the
manufacturing plant. To mount the handle:
1. Introduce the superior tube into the inferior
tube and connect using the screw and wing nut
provided.
2. Place the handle in the most comfortable
working position.
5.3 INSTALLATION OF THE CATCHER

5.4. HOLDING THE CABLE EXTENSION
Only use cable
extensions that are
certified for outdoor
use. The cable section
must be at least 1.5mm,
the cable will have a
maximum length of
25m and it must be fully
unrolled before starting
to work.
Fix the cable extension to the fixing hook
provided as seen in the figure.
5.5. CONNECTING TO THE MAINS
It is mandatory that this machine is connected
to a switch protected by a differential whose
current is 30mA maximum. The tension must be
1200V, the frequency 60Hz and it must have a
circuit breaker of 16A.
Never use a damaged cable or a damaged
electric mains, or that does not comply with
current normative or those required for this
machine. When using a electric extension for the
cable, make sure that it has a minimum section
of 1.5 mm2 and it should not be longer than
15 meters in length and approved for outdoor
use. Both the plug and the base of the electric
extension must be waterproof and should never
be submerged in water. The use of an adequate
electric extension will reduce the risk of electric
shock.
5.6. CHECKING POINTS PRIOR TO USING THE
MACHINE
Check all the machine and make sure that there
are no loose parts (screws, nuts, knobs etc) and
any damages to the machine. Tighten, repair or

Check the state of the catcher and that it is
properly in place. Do not use the machine if it is
damaged or not properly regulated.
