LAWN SCARIFIER PETROL

Camon LS42 Petrol Lawn Scarifier: The Professional's Choice for a Healthy Lawn

The Camon LS42 Petrol Lawn Scarifier is a powerful and versatile machine designed to effectively remove thatch, moss, and dead grass from your lawn, allowing air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the soil and reach the grass roots. Manufactured with durability and performance in mind, this scarifier is a staple for rejuvenating tired lawns and promoting vigorous, healthy growth. Its key strength lies in its interchangeable cartridge system and the reliable Honda engine.

Features

• Reliable Honda GX160 Petrol Engine: Powered by the industry-leading Honda GX160 4-stroke petrol engine. With a net power output of 3.6 kW / 4.8 hp (at 3600 rpm), this engine provides ample power to drive the blades at high speed, ensuring maximum removal of thatch and moss. Honda GX engines are renowned for their easy recoil starting, fuel efficiency, and long-term reliability.
• Interchangeable Cartridge System: A standout feature that makes the LS42 incredibly versatile. The machine can be fitted with a range of different cartridges (sold separately or as options), allowing you to tailor its function to your specific lawn care needs:
  • Free-Swinging Blades (Standard/Most Popular): Fitted with 30 independently sprung, "waisted" or "fish-tail" shaped blades. This is the most popular all-round rotor for effective thatch and moss removal, designed to keep their edge longer.
  • Spring Rake Cartridge: Equipped with 30 durable springs, ideal for lighter, year-round scarification and "cleaning" out surface debris without overly aggressive action.
  • Fixed Blade Cartridge (Lawn Slitter): Features 15 fixed, thicker blades (typically 2mm) that can penetrate the ground up to 10mm to remove sub-surface thatch, aerate, or prepare for overseeding/topdressing.
  • Renovation Blade Cartridge: Designed for more aggressive renovation where old lawn needs significant work, with multi-tipped blades to rip out old grass.
• 42 cm (17") Working Width: Provides efficient coverage for small to medium-sized lawns, making quick work of scarification tasks.
• Fine Height Adjustment: An improved, easy-to-use height adjustment knob speeds up and simplifies the blade depth setting. This allows for precise control over the aggression of the scarification, from light raking to deep dethatching.
• Floating Front Axle: Allows the scarifier to follow the contours of uneven lawns, ensuring consistent contact with the ground and more effective moss and thatch removal.
• Robust Construction: Built with a durable chassis and high-quality components designed to withstand the rigours of continuous use in professional and demanding domestic environments.
• Operator Comfort & Safety:
  • Anti-Vibration Handlebars: Fitted with anti-vibration rubbers as standard (with optional enhanced anti-vibration mounts available) to significantly reduce Hand-Arm Vibration (HAV), improving operator comfort during prolonged use.
  • Quick Release Folding Handlebars: Simple folding mechanism for easy transportation and compact storage, reducing footprint.
  • Angled Back Flap: Designed for improved discharge of moss and thatch, preventing build-up around the blades and ensuring efficient debris expulsion.
  • Wheel Scrapers: Keeps the narrow solid rubber wheels free of debris, ensuring consistent depth control and preventing blockages.
  • Two-Step Operation System: A simple and safe two-step system for engaging the blades for added operator safety.
  • Rubber Mounts Under Engine: Further reduce vibration and protect engine components.
• Weight (without cartridge): Approx. 68 kg (cartridges add approx. 15kg)
• Dimensions (L x W x H): Approx. 120cm x 59cm x 98cm
