Functional description
The lawn scarifier is pushed by hand
over the area of grass to be cut.
The unit is powered via the power
cord. The cutter deck is driven by
an electric motor. The cutter deck
rotates and removes the felt layer
formed by moss, lichen and weeds
and conveys the scarified material to
the outside or into the grass catcher.
The working depth is specified

About aeration
Information on all types
In order that a healthy lawn can
develop in the spring, it is necessary
for greater amounts of air to pene-
trate the area around the roots of the
grass. During this period the lawn
must be scarified more frequently
than in the summer.
Wear on the blades will make it
necessary to re-adjust the depth
of cut at a later date. An optimum
working depth is obtained when
the blades of the cutter are inserted
2–3 mm into the ground.
If the working depth is too deep,
this can overload the scarifier and
cause damage. Ensure that the
depth of cut setting is correct.
Note
When the cutter deck is in contact
with the ground, the unit can move.

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.

The best method is to clean the
grass sack straight after you have
finished scarifying.
– Detach and empty the grass sack.
– The grass catcher may be
cleaned with a powerful jet of
water from the garden hose.
– Allow the grass sack to dry out
thoroughly before using it again.
