6. Correct Aerating
The aerator cylinder can be used for removing matting and moss in the lawn as well as for cutting flat-rooting ranks.
6.1 Aerating
To maintain a well-cared-for lawn we recommend aerating every 4 - 6 weeks depending on the state of your lawn.
1.First of all, mow your lawn to the length you require. We particularly recommend this if the grass has grown tall
(e.g. while you were away on holiday).
Recommendation: the shorter you mow your lawn, the easier it is to aerate, thus lessening the strain on the scarifier and increasing the lifetime of the aerator. Note: Remaining in one spot for too long while aerating can damage the grass.
2.For good results, guide the Lawn Scarifier at an appropri- ate speed in strips as straight as possible across your lawn.
To prevent leaving gaps, the strips should always overlap by a few centimetres.
Warning! The rotating Aaerator can cause injuries. Always push the scarifier at a walking pace. When working on inclines always stand diagonally to the incline in a sturdy, safe stance. Do not work on extremely steep slopes. Danger of injury.
