Interruptions of work:
Never leave the Electric Aerator unatten-
ded at the working area.
vIf you interrupt your work store the unit in a
safe place. Disconnect the mains plug!
vWhen you interrupt work in order to go to
another working area, always switch off the
Electric Aerator during transport. Put the
wear compensation lever in the transport
position.
If you come into contact with an
obstruction during aerating:
1. Turn off the Electric Aerator.
2. Remove the obstruction.
3. Check the Aerator for damage and have
it repaired if necessary.
3. Function
The Aerator can be used for removing matting and moss in the
lawn as well as for cutting flat-rooting ranks.
To maintain a well-cared-for lawn, we recommend aerating the
lawn twice a year: in the spring and in the autumn.
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 Aerator and
increasing the lifetime of the aerator cylinder.
Remaining in one spot too long, or aerating if the ground is wet
or too dry can damage the grass.
vFor good results, guide the Aerator 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 Aerator 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 Aerator.
When aerating areas of very mossy lawn we recommend resowing
the lawn after aerating. This helps the areas of lawn which were
replaced by moss to regenerate more quickly.
