Intended Use

This machine may only be utilized for the purpose for which it was designed, i.e. to cut 18in

(45.7 cm) wide strips of turf. Make sure that all operators of this equipment are trained in

general machine use and safety.

WARNING: During operation the lawn and turf are cut into strips. Should the cutter’s wheels

skid during use it is advisable to adjust the cutting depth. If this operation does not prevent this

occurrence check the state of the terrain. If it is too dry it should be wetted so that the blade

encounters a slight resistance, thus making cutting operations easier.

Operator Controls

Drive Control: The ground drive controls are located on each handlebar of the machine. The right side lever

control moves the machine forward at varying speeds depending on how far the operator engages the control.

The left side lever control moves the machine in reverse at varying speeds depending on how far the operator

engages the control. (While either control is engaged, the opposite control is “locked out”)

(See Fig. 5)

Blade Engage Lever: Located on the left hand side of the handle bar. It must be fully engaged when in use.

Blade Height Adjustment: : Pre-select cutting depth by inserting depth control pin in the hole which corre-

sponds to the depth desired. A chart is provided on a placard near the blade depth control handle. To set

depth while using the machine loosen cam lever clamping the depth control handle in the “up” position. Rock

the machine forward to allow the cutting blade to drop to the pre-selected depth. (The depth control handle

should rest against the depth control pin). You are now ready to start cutting sod.

(See Fig. 2)

Free Wheel Lever: Located on top of machine next to the height adjust. Pull the lever out to free wheel and

push it in to allow the drive to be engaged. (See Fig. 6)

Operation

Note: Item numbers in ( ) will be referenced in the Parts Illustration and Parts List on pages 16-34.

Like all mechanical tools, reasonable care must be used when operating machine. Inspect machine work

area and machine before operating. Make sure that all operators of this equipment are trained in general

machine use and safety.

Starting the Engine

• Put oil in engine before starting!

• See engine manufacturer’s instructions for type and amount of oil and gasoline used. Engine

must be level when checking and lling oil and gasoline.

Engine Speed: Engine speed is xed.

Fuel Valve: Move fuel valve to “ON” position.

Choke: Found on engine above fuel “ON” switch.

Pull: Pull the starting rope to start engine.

Forward/Reverse Controls: See page 6 “Operator’s Controls”.

WARNING: Do not operate if excessive vibration occurs. If excessive vibration occurs, shut engine off

immediately and check for damaged or worn blade, loose blade bolts, loose engine or lodged foreign

objects.

Handling and Transporting

• Use loading ramps to move unit into truck or trailer for transport.

• Do not operate the blade when loading.

• Never load this machine by hand.

Cutting Operation

The unit performs best when the ground is wet. If possible, sprinkle the work area several hours before

starting.

CAUTION: Use extreme care when operating the blade. Inspect the work area for foreign objects that

could cause damage to the unit or injure the operator if struck by the blade. Never operate the blade with

bystanders in the work area.

General Operation

Position the turf cutter outdoors on sufciently rm, at soil. Read the instructions provided by the engine

manufacturer in the relative manual and follow them carefully to prevent situations from arising which may

endanger either persons or the machine.

TIP: When using the machine for the rst time, execute maneuvers on at ground free of foreign objects

to become more comfortable with machine operation. After switching on the engine, follow the instructions

given in the previous paragraph. Be mindful of the machine tipping forward (See Figure 9. on the following

page).

WARNING: Do not adjust cutting depth while machine is in motion. Choose a cutting depth suitable for

the type of terrain the machine is to be used on.

Part No. 373507 373507_A_HI

Operation Continued

1. Choose a depth of cut. See instruction label on the unit (see Fig. 2). Note: Sod should be cut

leaving a minimum amount of dirt (1/4”-3/8”) attached to the roots. This minimizes its weight for

removal and encourages faster growth when reused.

2. Holding both handles, fully engage the blade clutch lever on the operator’s left hand side.

Rocking back on the handles, allow the blade to cut into the sod to your chosen depth. Keep the

blade clutch lever fully engaged at all times when cutting (see Fig. 9).

3. As ground conditions allow, increase/decrease the ground speed by squeezing the drive lever

more (increased speed) or less (slower speed). If the engine RPM drops signicantly reduce

forward speed until the engine comes back up to speed.

4. When you reach the end of the strip you are cutting, release both the clutch lever and the

speed control until the unit stops. Using the blade depth adjustment handle raise the blade to

the maximum height possible and lock it in place.

5. Fully engage both blade drive and forward ground drive levers and the unit will drive forward

and complete the cut of the strip.

6. Release the blade lever and continue to drive the unit forward into position for the next cut,

repeat the process above as required.
