Essential Tips for Best Results

To get the absolute best performance out of your Active AC300 hire, we highly recommend following these preparation steps before starting your project:

1. Cut the Grass Low: Mow the existing lawn down as short as humanly possible before you begin. Long grass can wrap around the front wheels and clog up the blade housing, reducing traction.
2. Check Soil Moisture: If the ground is bone dry and hard, water the lawn thoroughly the night before your hire. Damp soil acts as a lubricant for the oscillating blade, allowing it to slice smoothly and produce uniform, easily rollable strips.
3. Clear the Area: Inspect the lawn carefully and remove any hidden stones, tree roots, bricks, or metal pegs to prevent damage to the blade and internal drive belt.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Will the Active AC300 fit into a standard car boot?
Because of its robust 79kg steel frame, it is too heavy and bulky for standard car boots. However, because the handles are completely detachable, it fits comfortably into small vans, pick-up trucks, and many large SUVs or estate cars with the rear seats folded down.

What fuel does it take?
The Honda GX200 engine runs on standard unleaded petrol. Do not mix oil with the fuel. We supply the unit with a full tank of fuel; please ensure it is refilled or choose our fuel top-up service on checkout.

How deep should I set the blade to lift turf?
For most standard lawns, a depth setting of 20mm to 25mm is perfect. This cuts right beneath the root mat, allowing you to lift the turf without taking away excessive amounts of topsoil.
