3. Function

Correct aerating:The Lawn Scarifier can be used for removing matting and moss in the lawn and thatch.

To maintain a well-cared-for lawn we recommend aerating every 4 - 6 weeks depending on the state of your lawn.

vFirst 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 Lawn Scarifier and increasing the lifetime of the aerator cylinder.

Staying too long in one place with the machine running or scarify- ing when the ground is wet or too dry can damage the turf.

vFor good results, guide the Lawn Scarifier at an appropriate speed in strips as straight as possible across your lawn.

To avoid leaving any gaps during aerating, the strips should touch.

vAlways guide the Lawn Scarifier at an even speed depending on the type of ground.

vWhen working on inclines always stand diagonally to the incline in a sturdy, safe stance. Do not work on extremely steep slopes.

Danger of tripping!

To prevent tripping take particular care when moving back- wards and when pulling the Lawn Scarifier.

When aerating areas of very mossy lawn we recommend re-sow- ing the lawn after aerating. This helps the areas of lawn which were replaced by moss to regenerate quicker.
