3.0 When using the RINK Scarifier ?

The RINK Scarifier is used on grass field to cut into the turf and removing grass, weeds and moss allowing air to enter the turf. This air will make the grass more healthy. As we can adjust the working depth of the RINK Scarifier, we can easily choose for a light or heavy treatment.

4.0 How to use the RINK Scarifier ?

The following points prescribe how to use the RINK Scarifier:

1.

The RINK Scarifier is delivered without any oil and gas. Fill the oil through the oil fill gap till the indicator’s level. We recommend SAE 15 W 40. Use the regular unleaded gas for the engine.

2.

After the job is done, during transport and before starting the engine, the machine has to be raised with the depth adjustment spindle, till the blades are about 15 mm (3/4”) of the ground.

NOTE: THE BLADES ARE DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE ENGINE. WHEN THE

MOTOR RUNS, THE BLADES ROTATE AS WELL; DO NOT RAISE THE RINK

SCARIFIER FROM THE GROUND AND DO NOT PUT ANY LIMBS CLOSE TO THE

BLADES.

3.

Start the engine using the rewind starter. Set the throttle at full speed and use the choke, if necessary. NOTE. THE DEAD MEN’S LEVER SHOULD BE SQUEEZED, OTHERWISE

THE ENGINE WILL NOT RUN.

4.

When the engine runs, reduce the throttle till half way. Let the engine runs for 1 minute at this speed, so it can warm up.

5.

If the engine doesn’t run, check the engine’s manual.

6.

When the RINK Scarifier is on the site, adjust the working depth ( ENGINE SHOULD BE

OFF), start the engine, set the throttle at the correct speed and do the job.
