Changing the height

Push the height adjustment lever (12) outward, and move 

it to desired position.

Overload protection

This machine is equipped with overload protection, and it 

functions under the following situations: 

The  cutting  tool  becomes  clogged  because  scarified 

materials are built up around it.

The  machine  is  trying  to  scarify  more  than  the  motor 

can handle.

Something hinders the rotation of the cutting tool. 

When  this  protection  works,  the  machine  is  switched  off 

automatically. 

If it happens, unplug the machine, wait until it cools down, 

and  remove  the  cause  of  the  overload  before  restarting 

the machine. 

OPERATION

Operation Tips:

Cut  your  grass  before  operation  and  fertilize  after  the 

operation. 

Adjust  the  depth  of  the  cutting  tool  in  accordance  with 

the height of the grass and weather. 

Avoid  operating  on  wet  grass.  It  tends  to  stick  on  the 

discharge  port  and  other  parts  of  the  machine.  It  may 

also cause slip and fall. 

Do  not  move  too  fast.  Push  the  machine  slowly. 

Otherwise discharge port may become clogged and the 

motor may overloaded. 

Operate along a line as straight as possible. 

Make slightly overlapping scarified lines. It will maintain 

even and smooth surface.

When  a  flower  bed  is  included  in  the  operating  area, 

make a circle or two around the flower bed.

Be especially careful when turning the machine.

Do not stay in one position. It damages the grass.

Tips for scarifying:

Always  take  the  weather  into  account.  Warm,  sunny 

and  wet  weather  is  good  for  scarifying  because  the 

lawn  can  recover  healthily.  On  the  other  hand,  avoid 

cold, heat, dry weather. 

During spring season scarify the lawn. 

If summer is wet, scarify the lawn in early autumn. 

Refrain  from  scarifying  during  period  of  extremely  hot 

weather.

If summer is very dry, do not scarify in autumn. 

Tips for raking:

Plenty amount of air is needed for the area around the 

roots of the lawn in order to maintain healthy growth in 

spring season. 

It is recommended performing aeration operation on the 

lawn every 4 –  weeks in accordance with the state of 

the lawn.

MAINTENANCE

 CAUTION:

Always  be  sure  that  the  machine  is  switched  off 

and  unplugged  before  performing  inspection  or 

maintenance. 

Wear protective gloves before performing inspection or 

maintenance. 

The  cutter  does  not  stop  immediately  after  switch  off. 

Wait  until  all  the  parts  stop  before  performing  any 

maintenance work.

Make  sure  that  all  the  tools  are  removed  after 

maintenance work.

Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the like 

for  cleaning.  Discoloration,  deformation  or  cracks  may 

result. To clean the machine, use only moist cloth and 

soft brush.

Do not hose or clean the machine with high pressured 

water. 

When  transporting  the  machine,  pay  attention  to  the 

following points: 

Switch  off  the  motor,  unplug  and  wait  until  the  cutting 

tool stops.

Adjust  the  depth  of  the  cutting  tool  to  transportation 

height.

Always transport the machine by its handle.

Avoid heavy impact or strong vibration.

Secure  the  machine  firmly  in  case  it  is  embarked  on 

vehicles.

Perform the following steps after each operation: 

Switch  off  the  motor,  unplug  and  wait  until  the  cutting 

tool stops.

Clean the grass catcher. Store it in a dry room.

Check, clean and store the machine in a dry room.

Perform the following work at regular basis:

Check  all  the  clamps,  such  as  screws,  nuts  etc.  are 

tightly fasten.

Check  for  defects  such  as  loose,  worn,  or  damaged 

parts. Replace them if necessary.

Check that the covers and guards are not damaged or 

deformed.

If  the  machine  starts  vibrating  abnormally  during 

operation,  that  may  be  caused  by  unbalanced  or 

deformed  cutting  tool  due  to  the  impacts  by  foreign 

objects.  Have  the  cutting  tool  repaired  or  replaced  by 

authorized service center if it happens.

The  cutting  tool  is  worn  out  during  the  course  of  time. 

Check the condition of the cutting tool and its stability on 

regular basis. Replace it if it is worn or become blunt. 

Clean and lubricate all screw parts before storage.
