Spring and Autumn are the times that you use the scarifying reel, basically when the grass is growing at it’s strongest. When you scarify it does tend to slow the growth down and so vigorous growth spells are best so that it recovers quickly. Another reason is that if you scarify in a dry spell you will open up the ground and dry the roots out which can run the risk of developing dead patches (or even the whole lawn!); the soil can also open up as it dries out and it will leave you with grooves in your lawn, another thing to be avoided.

I hope that helps; it’s always good to have a machine that you can use at home as well as taking it to shows.
