The AL-KO Combi-Care Electric Aerator / Scarifier is designed for homeowners with small to medium-sized gardens looking to revitalize their lawns. Its key benefit is providing a 3-in-1 solution for scarifying, aerating, and collecting grass, leading to healthier lawns. A potential caveat is that it's best suited for established lawns and not for initial lawn creation. This guide will help you understand how to use the AL-KO Combi-Care effectively.

Scarify your lawn once or twice a year, typically in the spring and autumn.
Adjust the depth so the blades lightly touch the soil surface to remove thatch effectively without damaging the grass roots. Start with a shallower setting and adjust as needed.
The AL-KO Combi-Care features a tool-free roller change system. Refer to the user manual for detailed instructions, but generally, it involves releasing a latch or clip and swapping the rollers.
Use a heavy-duty extension cord suitable for outdoor use and rated for the motor's wattage (1300 watts).
It is not recommended to use the scarifier on a wet lawn, as this can lead to clogging and poor performance. Wait until the lawn is dry.
After each use, unplug the machine and clean the blades and housing with a brush or cloth. Ensure no debris blocks the air vents.
The AL-KO Combi-Care comes with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty.
Replacement parts can typically be found through AL-KO authorized dealers or online retailers. Check the user manual for part numbers.
Check the power connection and ensure the outlet is working. Make sure the safety switch is engaged.
Check the blades for damage or wear. Clean any debris that might be blocking the blades. Ensure you are using the correct depth setting.
Reduce your working speed or consider emptying the collection box more frequently, especially when the lawn is heavily thatched.
Allow the motor to cool down. Check for any obstructions that may be causing the motor to stall. Reset the overload protection if necessary.
