FAQs

How often should I scarify my lawn?

It is generally recommended to scarify your lawn once or twice a year, typically in the spring and/or autumn, depending on your lawn's condition and climate.

Can I use this scarifier on wet grass?

It is best to use the scarifier on dry grass. Wet conditions can lead to less effective thatch and moss removal and can also cause the grass to clump excessively.

What is the difference between scarifying and moss raking?

Scarifying uses stiffer tines to cut into the soil and remove deep-rooted thatch, while moss raking uses finer tines to lift and remove surface-level moss and thatch.

How long does the included 4Ah battery last?

Battery runtime varies depending on the working depth, lawn conditions, and intensity of use. For average conditions, expect up to X minutes of operation on a single charge (refer to the product manual for specific estimates).

Can I buy an extra battery?

Yes, additional Husqvarna BLi-series batteries, including 4Ah and higher capacity options, can be purchased separately to extend your working time.

What warranty comes with the Husqvarna S 138i?

The Husqvarna S 138i typically comes with a manufacturer's warranty. Please refer to the warranty documentation included with your product or visit the Husqvarna website for detailed terms and conditions.

How do I store the scarifier during the off-season?

Clean the unit thoroughly, fold the handle, and store it in a dry, protected location. Ensure the battery is stored separately in a cool, dry environment, ideally with some charge remaining.

Troubleshooting

Scarifier does not start

Ensure the battery is correctly inserted and fully charged. Check that the safety key is in place and the activation lever is engaged. Consult the user manual for specific starting procedures.

Poor thatch or moss removal

Adjust the working depth to a deeper setting. Ensure the tines are sharp and free from debris. Operate on a dry lawn for better performance.

Machine stops during operation

Check the battery charge level. If the battery is low, replace it with a charged one or pause operation to allow the battery to cool if it overheats. Ensure no obstructions are jamming the tines.

Excessive vibration during use

Inspect the tines for damage or imbalance. Ensure they are securely fastened. Remove any foreign objects caught in the tines or housing.
