This safety alert symbol indicates important safety messages. 
When you see this symbol be alert to the possibility of injury. 
Carefully read the following and inform others.

Your Scarifi er is perfectly safe if used correctly. Failure 
to observe the following precautions may result in serious 
injury. 

Training 

Before using the Scarifi er read the owners handbook carefully. 
Pay particular attention to the safety precautions. Ensure that 
you are familiar with the controls and the proper use of the 
equipment.

Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions 
to use the Scarifi er. Local regulations can restrict the age of the 
operator.

Never scarify while people, especially children, or pets are 
nearby.

Keep in mind that the user is responsible for accidents or hazards 
occurring to other people or their property.

Preparation 

While scarifying, always wear substantial footwear and long 
trousers. Do not operate the equipment when barefoot or wearing 
sandals.  

Thoroughly inspect the area where the Scarifi er is to be used and 
remove all objects which may be thrown by the machine. 

WARNING: 

Petrol is highly fl ammable:

•  Store fuel in containers specifi cally designed for this 

purpose

• 

Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refuelling;

• 

Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap 
from the fuel tank or add petrol while the engine is running 
or when the engine is hot;

• 

If petrol is spilt, do not attempt to start the engine, move 
the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid 
creating any source of ignition until the petrol vapours have 
dissipated;

• 

Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely;

• 

Always use fresh fuel which contains 10% or less ethanol. 
Stale fuel can block the carburettor and cause leakage. High 
levels of ethanol can cause engine damage. 

 
Replace faulty exhaust.

Replace faulty silencers.

A damaged knife blade or loose fi xing bolt are major hazards. 
Before use, always visually inspect the cutting mechanism to 
ensure that it is in good condition. A damaged knife blade must 
be replaced immediately with a genuine Hayter replacement 
part.

Operation 

Before using the Scarifi er, cut the grass to a height of 25 mm.

Do not operate the engine in confi ned spaces where exhaust 
fumes (carbon monoxide) can collect.

Always pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt. Then 
pull the cord rapidly to avoid kickback and prevent hand or arm 
injury.

Scarify only in daylight or good artifi cial light.

Always be sure of your footing on slopes. 

Walk, never run.

Exercise extreme caution when changing direction.
