Since I use my electric Verticutter because of complicated handling at approx. 800 m² lawn area was tired, I have gained the Petrol Verticutter of AL-KO after studying various reviews and because of the low price at Amazon. Shipping via Amazon Prime usual reliably within a day. Packaging fine. Despite the meager manual assembly of the scarifier worked quite fast. Lt. Manual requires the Scarifier 0,25 l oil. So measured 0.25 liters of oil and filled. But since apparently been some oil was poured (you would have somewhere to point out), were 0.25 l too much and it is oil from the side to be fitted filling device (mE a not very favorable solution) overflowed. So eliminate pollution and now filled gasoline. But the fuel tank is unfavorable constructed; because the top of the fuel tank is located above the top edge of the filling hole. If you now paying attention to how the fuel enters and you want to fill the fuel tank up to the top edge, the gasoline is already overflowed in the fill opening, which was with me promptly the case. Next time of course one knows; but a notice would have been nice. So 2nd wash cycle required. Now the start attempt: After I have also found the upper primer button after a long search and sampling under the cover and following the operating instructions, the start of the engine worked well. The volume of the engine is fine. What power of Verticuteermachines brings in use, can be tested only if the weather in March. I will continue to report. Update: So, I tried the unit now as a fan and Scarifier. Jumps after pressing the primer to (from cold start) and otherwise properly. Because of its light weight easy to handle with good results. The collection bag can, however (as with all my known verticutters) forget it because you have nachharken anyway. The roll change (fan / Scarifier) is a breeze. Overall, a decent machine.
