The device works at and good for yourself but you should before starting the scarifier Unscrew the blue belt cover. Then start the engine and make sure the belt is not running hot.
For me, the idlers were set incorrectly and the belt heated up, there was smoke and it tore the belt after a short time.
I got free belt replacement. Then mounted the belt itself and set itself the proper tension one, since then the device is running without any problems.
Also watch and scan the ground in advance whether any larger stones, or small stone slabs are under grass. Never go over it, I opened it a 'tooth' of the gear shaft. The unit here is not a "Wolf" brand part and therefore not suitable for the extreme conditions.
However, the scarifier works well if you work a little more cautious. I work with it in two times 700 square meters of area. Although the device does not have much horsepower plowing it anyway neatly around if you want to.
Generally speaking, a spare fan belt should always have ready at home. The guide rollers of SKF, solid industrial quality. These are typically low in almost every auto parts market, you should ever need replacement.
When no longer needed, the device should turn off the fuel cock and the tank always volltanken- so he can not rust.
And one more thing: Do not tilt the unit backwards while booze from the spark plug.
Notice a few things and the chest running solid.
My neighbor is always running around with a Elektrovertikutierer. There is no comparison - the Güde GV 2400 SL looks visually total 'loving' and is he hatchback has very comfortable to use.
I have not regretted the purchase even if I set any great hopes in the unit because of the price.
For home use, a good device.
I would Herleihen the runabout but not - would overburden inadvisable.
