ATTENTION:

Before the aeration process, the garden MUST BE STRICTLY abundantly watered beforehand, in order to prevent dust from entering inside the electric engine and cause damage. Furthermore, damp soil is much softer and facilitates this type of work, preventing problems with the transmission (belts, pulleys, etc.)

* The right time for this is spring, after the very first shave and depending on the area and type of climate (generally around March/April). For a perfect lawn care, it is highly recommended to repeat the operation in Autumn as well, thus removing the harder moss.

This lawn scarifier is equipped with two different types of rotors, easily interchangeable:

Rotor with springs: recommended for the “aeration process”, it consists of a sturdy roller fitted with springs.

With this rotor, the turf is combed lightly thanks to its steel spring design, which pinches and pulls away the felt and moss (also preventing regrowth).

Rotor with blades: recommended for the “scarifying process”. It consists of a steel roller fitted with 16 fixed blades.

This rotor type allows a more intensive lawn care thanks to the possibility to work the soil in depth. The sharpened 16 blades, in fact, penetrate the turf vertically: moss, felt and weeds are thus radically removed.
Result: the lawn regenerates by improving oxygenation, drainage and nutrient uptake.

* * The right time for this operation is Spring, after the first mowing and depending on the area and climate (generally around March/April). For a consistently beautiful lawn care, it is highly recommended to repeat the operation in Autumn as well, thus removing the harder moss.

The rotor can be replaced WITHOUT using any extra tool.

Engine electronically activated via lever on the handlebar.

Activation of rotor rotation through the proper handlebar and button.

High-strength plastic housing which allows a 38 cm working width.

Foldable handlebar for storage.

Soft grip for greater comfort during use.

This machine can be used with dual working configuration: with collection bag or rear discharge.

The 50 L bag for collecting scarifying residues is provided on standard equipment.

Operating without the collection bag: the torn old felt and aeration residues are deposited on the ground.

Focus on the convenient handle for removing the collection bag.

1 LITHIUM-ION BATTERY AND BATTERY CHARGER INCLUDED

2 Batteries equipped with quick release: the battery can be easily detached and pulled out from the machine by pressing the quick release button.

Voltage: 40 V
Amperage: 4 Ah

The practical battery can be recharged at any time, no memory effect (it does not have a tendency to run out after many refills) to always have great power.

Handy battery charger included (connection to the home power like a standard mobile phone).

The batteries are plugged in to the battery charger through the quick release, the same way they connected to the machine.

Additional batteries can also be purchased for a very long working autonomy

So you only need one battery and one charger to be able to use the entire 40V range produced by Makita.

Advantages of the electric motor:

• More reliable than a petrol model. No spark plug, filters, oil dipstick, carburettors, etc. that is components which can cause problems.
• Zero maintenance, for the same above-mentioned reasons
• Much lighter
• Lower consumption and drastically reduced operating costs compared to internal combustion engines (great results with minimal power required). In addition, the operator won’t have to constantly buy fuel (that should always be fresh).
• Zero vibrations, thanks to the electric motor. Instead, almost all combustion machines, which are not equipped with an anti-vibration system on steel springs, have a very high degree of vibrations, making the work quite unpleasant.
• Zero fumes, zero impact on the environment and, above all, zero repercussions on the Operator’s health.
• Much quieter and therefore more pleasant to use than an internal combustion engine
