8. How to aerate correctly

Aeration is deemed to be the aera-
tion, cleaning and defelting so that
the lawn is then fully able to take
in fertiliser, water and air (oxygen).
With aeration, the damaging lawn
felt, moss and flat-growing weeds
are removed and the scaly top
lawn layer is loosened. The lawn
is able to breathe again.
Basically speaking, aeration is
possible throughout the vegetation
period. Aeration is normally car-
ried out once or twice during
the mowing periods, in April or
September depending on the
weather. The lawn soil must be dry.
Before commencing, mow the lawn
down to a height of approx. 3 cm.
Immediately after aeration, brush
the lawn off thoroughly and repeat
the mowing with the same height
setting.
A subsequent fertilisation and
corresponding watering is very
important.
The aerator height must be so
adjusted that the blades scratch
the top grass layer. A deep inser-
tion of the blades into the soil must
under all circumstances be avoid-
ed. When using the aerator, only
move in a straight line, no cross-
wise or diagonally.

Warning! A frequent over-

loading of the motor (the
rotation speed is audibly reduced
in the working range) results in
damage being caused to the motor
coil.
Note: reduce the working depth
by turning the adjusting hand
wheel (fig. C pos. 8) in direction –.
Whilst aerating, hold the imple-
ment back slightly go over the
lawn at a normal walking speed.
When aerating, do not pull the
running implement back.
To turn at the end of a strip, switch
the working position off then turn
the implement around and switch
the working position on again.
Never lift or carry an aerator when
the motor is running.
If you should make contact with
a foreign body, switch the motor
off and disconnect the power sup-
ply. Inspect the aerator for signs
of damage and carry out the
necessary repairs before you
restart and work with the aerator;
an immediate inspection should
be carried out should the aerator
start to vibrate to an unusual
extent.
Special care is to be taken on
slopes and embankments.
Note:
On slopes, the cutting strip should
be at an angle to the slope.
A slightly diagonal position in an
upwards direction prevents the
implement from slipping. Do not
aerate on extremely steep slopes
and take special care should you
change the direction of travel on

vided by the guide rod is always
to be adhered to.
The underside of the housing is
to be cleaned at regular intervals.
Deposits must be removed.
Deposits make the starting process
more difficult, impair the cutting
quality and the discharge.
When leaving the aerator, switch
the motor off and disconnect it from
the mains.
Aerating without the grass box
As a result of the high rear dis-
charge area, lawn felt is evenly
distributed across the lawn when
aerating without a box.

accessory art.no. 62073)
