If situations occur which are not covered in this manual, use care and good judgement. Contact your nearest Approved Service Dealer for assistance SLOPE OPERATION Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents, which can result in severe injury. Operation on slopes requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, or it is greater than 15 degrees, do not scarify on it. Do: 1. Scarify across the face of slopes; never up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. 2. Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps which can cause you to slip or trip. Tall grass can hide obstacles. 3. Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause serious personal injury. If you feel you are losing your balance, release the OPC/Brake lever immediately and the tines will stop rotating a few seconds after release. Do Not: 1. Do not scarify near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments, you could lose your footing or balance. 2. Do not scarify on slopes greater than 15 degrees. 3. Do not scarify on wet grass. Unstable footing could cause slipping. CHILDREN Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the scarifier and the activity. They do not understand the dangers. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them. 1. Keep children out of the scarifying area and under care of a responsible adult other than the operator. 2. Be alert and turn the scarifier off if a child enters the area. 3. Before and while moving backwards, look behind and down for small children. 4.

Quick Release Handle * Image may vary from actual machine The lawn scarifier is pushed by hand over the area of grass to be worked. The cutters are driven by a 1500W electric motor. The depth of cut is set by varying the central height-adjustment mechanism individually from 5 to -15mm. AERATOR: (Metal Blades) The cylinder 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. During cutting the cutters penetrate the ground and therefore ensure that the lawn is loosened and absorbs nutrients better. We recommend aerating the lawn in Spring (April/May) and Autumn (October). SCARIFIER: (Spring Tines) The cylinder rotates and combs the lawn or aerates the slightly mossy areas. The removed moss is conveyed outwards or into the grass catcher. During scarifying, the surface of the ground is scratched; this improves water drainage and facilitates the absorption of oxygen. We recommend scarifying the lawn during the entire growing period as and when required. 9 INSTRUCTION MANUAL ASSEMBLY Remove the machine and contents from the carton.

Fuel (if applicable) Due to ongoing efforts by fuel companies to reduce emissions, unleaded petrol will oxidize & deteriorate in storage overtime, leaving residue from detergent components. Fuel deterioration problems may occur when petrol is stored for over 30 days. If you are planning to store fuel for over 30 days, we recommend you add Handy Parts Sure-Start fuel stabilizer to fresh fuel after purchasing. SureStart cannot reconstitute stale fuel. Storage When storing your machine for an extended period, we do recommend that you follow the instructions of engine instruction manual. Always store the fuel in a clean, approved and sealed container. If the container is steel, ensure it is not corroded. If the container is not filled to its recommended capacity, air can accelerate fuel deterioration. Always store fuel away from direct sunlight, in a dark, cool environment. 28 SERVICE BOOK Your servicing Webb approved dealer will stamp & date the below relevant sections, when the correct service actions have been completed.
