English Operating instructions – Scarifier with electric motor

Scarify the lawn

–more frequently in the spring,

–when required in the summer,

–more frequently in the summer as well if the lawn has large areas of shade.

Only scarify the lawn when the grass height is less than 4 cm. If the grass has exceeded this length, the lawn should be mown before it is aerated. Apply fertiliser to the areas that have been scarified and water it in, so that fresh grass can grow more quickly.

–Tilt the unit forwards.

–Clean the cutter chamber and the ejector cover with brush, hand broom, or cloth.

–Stand the scarifier on its wheels again, and remove any remaining grass cuttings or dirt that can still be seen.
