Setting the working depth (04)
Important!
Only set the working depth if the motor is switched off
and the blade shaft is stopped.
Set the working depth of the blade shaft at the dial se-
lector.
1. Tilt the scarifier backwards with the handlebar.
2. Push the twist switch down and turn it to level "1".
Positions on the dial selector:
1 - 5 = Setting the working depth (04)
With new blades, set the dial selector to position
2 at most!
The correct working depth depends on:
the condition of the lawn
the wear on the blades
If the working depth is set too low:
the scarifier will stop
the motor will stall
In this case, move the dial selector back to a shallower
working depth.
Always mow the lawn before scarifying.
Start the motor (06)
1. Push and hold the button of the safety pushbutton
switch (a).
2. Pull the operator presence control against the
handlebar (b). The motor starts.
The operator presence control does not lock in
place. It must be held in place all the time.
3. Release the button of the safety pushbutton switch.
Switching off the motor (07)
1. Release the operator presence control (a). It auto-
matically returns to its initial position. The motor is
switched off.
Danger of lacerations!
The blade shaft keeps turning under its own mo-
mentum! After switching off, do not reach under
the machine straight away.

General notes on operation
The blade system must be able to turn entirely
freely in order for the machine to be started
Keep the power cable out of the working area
Only control the machine using the handlebar. This
ensures the necessary safety clearance.
Be particularly careful when turning the scarifier or
pulling the machine behind you
Make sure you can stand securely on slopes
Always scarify across the slope
Never scarify on steep slopes
Always scarify at walking pace
Never tilt or transport the machine when the motor
is running
Have the machine checked by a specialist if the fol-
lowing events occur:
After running into an obstacle
if the motor stops suddenly
If a blade is bent
If the blade shaft is bent
If the V-belt is defective
Maintenance and care
Danger!
Risk of injury on the blade shaft.

open
Maintenance of the engine must be done by an
authorised specialist workshop.
Disconnect the mains plug before any maintenance
and cleaning work! Wait for the shaft to come to a
stop.
Only use genuine spare parts.
Only renew worn or damaged implements and pins
as a set, in order to avoid imbalances.
Do not spray the equipment with water!
Water ingress can cause irreparable damage to the
motor and the safety pushbutton switch.
