5. Mode d'emploi

Proper operation ensures effective lawn care and extends the life of your machine.

5.1 Préparation de la pelouse

• Mow your lawn to a short height before scarifying or aerating.
• Remove any large stones, branches, or debris from the lawn area.
• Ensure the lawn is relatively dry.

5.2 Scarifying (with 20 Steel Blades)

Scarifying removes thatch, moss, and weeds, allowing air, water, and nutrients to reach the grass roots.

1. Install the scarifier roller.
2. Set the working depth. For initial scarifying, a depth of -5mm to -10mm is often suitable. Adjust based on lawn condition.
3. Start the machine and push it steadily across the lawn in parallel strips, slightly overlapping each pass.
4. For heavily matted lawns, you may make a second pass perpendicular to the first.
5. Videz régulièrement le sac de collecte.

5.3 Aerating (with 44 Steel Spring Tines)

Aerating helps improve air circulation in the soil and promotes healthier grass growth.

1. Install the aerator roller.
2. Set the working depth. A shallower depth, such as +5mm to +10mm, is typically used for aeration.
3. Operate the machine similarly to scarifying, moving in parallel lines.
4. Aeration can be performed more frequently than scarifying.
