Height of rake adjustment (Fig. E)

There are three raking height positions on

your raker; low, medium and high.

These are selected by altering the position of

the three-position height adjusters located

on the rear roller.

• Press the lock buttons (46) on each

three-position height adjuster (5) and

rotate both adjusters to any of the three

available positions as shown in Fig. E.

On reaching the required position,

release the lock buttons (46) and allow

them to engage in your raker body (1).

• The three positions are identified by

markings on the side of your raker body

(1) as shown in Fig. E. Both three-

position height adjusters must be set to

the same position, ie. both at position

1, 2 or 3 - not at different settings.

The three raking height positions are

as follows:

• Lowest setting (1). This setting should be

used when you wish to give the lawn a

particularly vigorous raking. On this

setting, your raker will remove all the

debris and thatch that has collected at

the base of your grass. It will also remove

moss and weeds on this setting.

• Medium setting (2). This setting should

be used when you wish to give your lawn

a moderate raking. This setting will be

suitable for the majority of lawns.

• Highest setting (3). This setting will lightly

rake and sweep your lawn. Your raker

can also be used on this setting to ‘lift’

flattened grass and stolons (the creeping

stems of grasses and weeds like clover)

so that you can mow them. The sweep/

light rake setting is ideal for fallen leaves

and for collecting grass cuttings which

have been left on the lawn after mowing,

when the collection box is fitted.

How to use your raker (Fig. F)

Observe all the relevant warnings when

using your raker.

To look after a lawn properly, you need to do

more than just mow it once a week

throughout the Summer. The lawn will benefit

from a vigorous raking of the grass to

remove the dead matter, moss and weed

which disfigures a lawn. The build up of dead

grass provides a mat of absorbent fibres

which prevents water getting through to the

ground and if this mat is kept waterlogged, it

can encourage grass diseases and prevent

healthy grasses taking root.

• Place the bulk of the extension cable

on the lawn close to the starting point

(Fig. F, position 1).

• Hold the handle with both hands and

hold the upper portion of the extension

cable in the hand not operating the

switch lever.

Warning! Do not attempt to operate your

raker with one hand - you must guide it with

both hands.

• To start your raker (‘T’ Handle Type) slide

the safety lock-off switch (9) (Fig. A) to

the left and press the switch lever (8).

• Proceed down the raking area from

position 1 towards position 2 and, on

reaching position 2, turn to the right and

proceed towards position 3. Continue to

the end of the raking area, turn to the

left, and proceed towards position 4.

Continue in the same manner as shown

in the left hand diagram, always working

away from the cable. Do not adopt the

method shown in the right hand diagram,

working towards the cable, as this is

dangerous practice.

When you have finished using your raker we

recommend that you clean all debris from it

before putting it away. Refer to “Care and

maintenance”.

Note: To obtain the best results rake your

lawn or grassed area regularly and do not

rake when the grass is wet.

• When raking over the edge of your lawn,

press downwards on the handle to stop

the wheels dropping over the edge.

• To prolong the effective raking life of your

tine assembly, clear the lawn area of any

loose debris or stones.

Handy hints

• Do not force your raker through grass that is too

long. It is recommended that your raker should

not be used in grass that is longer that 75mm

(3 inches) in length.

• Do not use in wet or damp conditions.

• To obtain the best result from your raker use it

regularly. It is recommended that your raker is

used at the beginning and end of each grass

cutting season to give your lawn a thorough

scarifying. Your raker should also be used after
