Adjusting for wear [ Fig. M1 ]:
The Electric Lawn Rake is subject to wear in use due to the way in which
it works.
The more intensively the Electric Lawn Rake is used, the greater the wear
on the spring tines. Hard or very dry ground accelerates wear as does
excessive use of the Electric Lawn Rake.
If the results of your work with the Electric Lawn Rake become increasingly
worse due to knife wear, the aerator cylinder can be adjusted twice.
The aerator cylinder has 4 adjustment positions:
• Transport position
• Aerating position 1
• Aerating position 2:
If the springs are worn (the rake roller is lowered by 3 mm).
• Setting 3:
Second setting for worn springs (the rake roller is lowered by a further
3 mm).
Push wear compensation lever
(14)
move to the position required.
Note: Wear adjustment is not used for height adjustment.
Adjustment of the aerator cylinder without visible wear can
cause damage to the aerator cylinder or overload the motor.
