Product Information
Full details
The Scheppach SC38 is designed for homeowners with medium-to-large gardens up to 700m² who want a professional-grade solution for lawn rejuvenation. By combining scarifying and aerating functions, it effectively removes moss and thatch to promote thicker, healthier grass growth, though users should be mindful that it requires proximity to a power outlet due to its corded design.

Troubleshooting
Motor fails to start
Check that the power cable is firmly connected and the safety switch is engaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the machine, follow the included manual to attach the handle assembly and secure the collection box. Ensure you are using a 10m extension lead if necessary, and always verify that the power supply matches the 1600W requirement. For care, always disconnect the power before switching rollers or cleaning the underside. Regularly inspect the blades and tines for debris, and clean the housing with a brush after every use to prevent buildup that could hinder motor cooling.
