SCARIFICATION
Each year and on every lawn, moss and weeds take hold,
which cause the ground to become matted.
By scarifying, the hard surface is cut, allowing the grass
to breathe and take up nutritional substances, oxygen
and water.
Before scarifying, mow the lawn to a height of about 40
mm (1 inch).
Only use the scarificator when the lawn is dry.
March, April, and September are the best months for
scarifying.
Do this work at least once a year.
To get a nice green effect, we recommend using a fertiliser
immediately after scarification.
Empty the grass box in good time.
Only with the engine switched off and the cutting gear
at a standstill.
1. Lift the grass box.
2. Lift the discarge flap.
3. Remove the grass box by pulling it backwards.
If the grass box is over-filled, the discharge channel in the
housing of the aerator becomes blocked and grass is left
lying on the lawn.
Put the grass box back into place and start the engine.

STARTING THE ENGINE

Once the machine has been set up properly, start the
engine as follows:
Engines with primer system:
Press the fuel-enrichment pump located on the carbu-
rettor 3 or 4 times position the accelerator lever (13) on

For further information and explanations, read carefully
the user instruction manual of the engine.
Manual start of the engine
The exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide,
a non-odorous and lethal gas!
For this reason, never start the engine in
enclosed or badly ventilated rooms.

towards the handle and hold it in this position.
If the engine brake bracket is not pulled, the starter cord
cannot be pulled out as a result of the engine brake.
Pull out the starter cord until a compression resistance
can be felt. Allow the cord to return slowly and then pull
it out again quickly a full arm's length for the start. Keep
the starter handle in your hand and allow the rope to
return slowly. Set the gas lever to match the work you
are doing.
After the start
