Fitting the upper push bar (see Figs. 6-8)
Position the upper push bar (Fig. 1/Item 5)
such that its holes line up with the holes of the
lower bar.
Screw the tubes together, using the screws
supplied (Fig. 2/Item 10).
Remove the screws (Fig. 7/Item A) and take
off the cover (Fig. 7/Item B).
Fit the switch box in the holes provided on
the right-hand side of the push bar and screw
back in place again with the cover (Fig. 8/Item
B) and the screws (Fig. 8/Item A).
Use the cable clips (Fig. 9) to attach the pow-
er cable to the tubes of the push bars so that
it is possible to open and shut the ejector flap.
Please ensure that the ejector ap can be opened
and closed easily!
Adjusting the scari er depth (see Fig. 10)
The scari er depth is adjusted at both front
wheels via the adjustment mechanism. For this,
pull out the adjusting screw and turn the wheel to
the left or right into one of the available positions
(0/I/II/III).
The scari er depth must always be identically set
on both sides!
0 = drive/transport position
I = scari er depth 3 mm
II = scari er depth 7 mm
III = scari er depth 9 mm
Electrical connection
The equipment can be connected to any normal
socket with 230V AC. It is only acceptable to con-
nect it to a shockproof socket with a 16A circuit
breaker. Furthermore, a residual-current-operated
protective device with max. 30 mA should be con-
nected upstream.
Power cable
Please only use power cables that are not
damaged. The total length of the power cable
should not exceed 50 meters; going beyond
this distance will reduce the power output of
the electric motor. The power cable must have
a cross-section of 3 x 1.5 mm². The insulating
sheath of scari er power cables is frequently
damaged.
Some of the causes for this are:
Cracking from running over the cable
Pinching when the power cable is dragging
under doors and pulled through windows
Cracking due to old age of the insulation
Kinking by improperly fastening or guiding the
power cable
The power cables must, at the very minimum, be
of type HO5RN-F and 3-stranded. The cable type
must be printed somewhere on the power cable.
Only purchase power cables that are marked as
such! Plugs and socket couplers for the power
cables must be made from rubber and be splash-
proof. There is a limit to how long power cables
can be. Longer power cables require larger con-
ductor cross-sections. Power cables and connec-
ting lines must be regularly checked for damage.
Ensure that the lines are de-energized before
checking them. Completely unwind the power
cable. Also check power cable entry points, plugs
and socket couplers for kinks.
6. Operation
Connect the machine’s power supply cable to the
plug (Fig. 11/Item A) and secure the power cable
with the stress-relief clip (Fig 11/Item B).
To prevent accidental start-up of the equipment,
the push-bar (Fig. 11/Item 5) is equipped with
a safety lock-o (Fig. 11/Item 2) which must be
pressed before the lever switch (Fig. 11/Item 1)
can be pressed. If the lever switch is released, the
equipment switches o .
Repeat this process several times so that you are
sure that the machine functions properly. Before
you perform any repair or maintenance work on
the machine, ensure that the cutting unit is not ro-
tating and that the power supply is disconnected.
Important! Never open the ejector ap when the
motor is running. A rotating cutting unit can cause
injuries.
Always fasten the ejector ap carefully. The ap
ips back to the “Closed” position by the tension
springs!
Always ensure that a safe distance (provided
by the long handles) is maintained between the
user and the housing. Be especially careful when
scarifying and changing direction on slopes and
inclines. Maintain a solid footing and wear sturdy,
non-slip footwear and long trousers. Always sca-
rify along the incline (not up and down).
For safety reasons, the scari er may not be used
to scarify inclines whose gradient exceeds 15
degrees.
