Remarks on mowing with the

aerator cylinder switched on

The aerator cylinder can be used

for pulling drainages, removing

matting and moss in the lawn

as well as for cutting flat-rooting

ranks.

If the grass is particularly tall,

before using the aerator, make a

pre-cut at the maximum cutting

height to prevent overload of the

lawn mower.

At the end of the cutting lane

or for turning round the electric

Hattrick lawn mower, tilt it slightly

by pressing onto the guide

handle. This way you can turn it

easily using the rear wheels with

the aerator cylinder running free.

After having aerated heavily

moss-covered areas, it is re-

commended to re-sow the lawn.

This will help the affected lawn

to recover quickly.

The aerator cylinder can be indi-

vidually used depending on the

needs and condition of the lawn.

The table below provides informa-

tion on the use of the aerator

cylinder.

Function of the aerator cylinder

The aerator springs penetrate up to 4 mm

(HE 32) and up to 7 mm (HE 36 / HE 40) deep

into the sod depending on the type of soil.

The aerator springs remove moss and matting

rooting near the surface.

The aerator springs remove residues from

the lawn.

The aerator springs remove even wet or

trodden-in grass clippings etc. from the lawn.
