8. How to aerate correctly
Aeration is deemed to be the aera-
tion, cleaning and defelting so that
the lawn is then fully able to take
in fertiliser, water and air (oxygen).
With aeration, the damaging lawn
felt, moss and flat-growing weeds
are removed and the scaly top
lawn layer is loosened. The lawn is
able to breathe again.
Basically speaking, aeration is
possible throughout the vegetation
period. Aeration is normally
carried out once or twice during
the mowing periods, in April
or September depending on the
weather. The lawn soil must be dry.
Before commencing, mow the lawn
down to a height of approx. 3 cm.
Immediately after aeration, brush
the lawn off thoroughly and repeat
the mowing with the same height
setting.
A subsequent fertilisation and
corresponding watering is very
important.
The aerator height must be so
adjusted that the blades scratch the
top grass layer. A deep insertion
of the blades into the soil must
under all circumstances be avoid-
ed. When using the aerator, only

In order to deactivate the working
position of the aerator cylinder, pull
the control lever (fig. B pos. 3)
back to Position P (Park). The aera-
tor cylinder is no longer in use.

Whilst aerating, hold the imple-

at a normal walking speed.
When aerating, do not pull the
running implement back.
To turn at the end of a strip, switch
the working position off then turn
the implement around and switch
the working position on again.
Never lift or carry an aerator when
the motor is running.
If you make contact with a foreign
body, switch the motor off and
remove the spark plug connector.
Inspect the aerator for signs of
damage and carry out the neces-
sary repairs. before you restart and
work with the aerator; an immedi-
ate inspection should be carried
out should the aerator start to
vibrate to an unusual extent.
Special care is to be taken on
slopes and embankments.
Note:
On slopes, the cutting strip should
be at an angle to the slope.

upwards direction prevents the
implement from slipping. Do not
aerate on extremely steep slopes
and take special care should you
change the direction of travel on
the slope. The safety distance pro-
vided by the guide rod is always to
be adhered to.
The underside of the housing is
to be cleaned at regular intervals.
Deposits must be removed.
Deposits make the starting process
more difficult, impair the cutting
quality and the discharge.
Switch the motor off and remove
the spark plug connector if you
lave the appliance unattended.
Aerating without the grass box
As a result of the high rear
discharge area, lawn felt is
evenly distributed across the lawn
when aerating without a box.
Aerating with the grass box
(The grass box is available as an
accessory)
The grass box must be emptied
as soon as lawn felt remains on the
lawn during the work.
