To scarify, simply move the machine forwards,
keeping your feet clear of its body and tines.
Work in a straight line, tackling the lawn in a series of
overlapping strips.
For best results, start with the tines set to a light
penetration then repeat several times if necessary,
gradually lowering the tines at each pass until satisfied.
Watch your footing, especially on wet and/or sloping
ground. Work across the face rather than up and down
the slope.
If the tines should strike a stone or something
similar, raise the tines, Switch OFF the engine at
once and inspect for damage. If in doubt, contact
your local HSS Hire Shop for advice.
Empty the collection box at frequent intervals -
remembering to switch OFF the engine first. Simply
unhook it, empty it out, then re-fit it.
In an emergency, simply release the dead-mans
handle. The engine will automatically cut out.
EQUIPMENT CARE
Never push the equipment beyond its design
limits. If it will not do what you want with reasonable
ease, assume you have the wrong tool for the job.
Contact your local HSS Hire Shop for advice.
Keep the engine upright at all times. If it should turn
over, cleanup any oil or fuel spillage' s and contact our
local HSS Hire Shop for advice.
Keep the equipment clean. You will find it performs
better if you clean it regularly rather than wait until the
end of the hire period.
When not in use, store the equipment somewhere
clean, dry and safe from thieves.
Regularly check the fuel level and top up as
necessary using unleaded petrol.
Regularly check the oil level - when the engine is cold
and with the machine on level ground. Withdraw the
dip stick, wipe it clean and replace. Now replace it, a
second time and verify that the oil level is between the
Min and Max lines. Top up as necessary.
FINISHING OFF
Set the throttle control to the STOP position, then
wait for the engine to die and for moving parts
to stop.
Empty the grass collection box and give the unit
a final clean ready for return to your local HSS
Hire Shop.
