OPERATION / ADJUSTMENT

Regular removal of thatch is critical to maintenance of

a healthy lawn. Thatch is a layer of stems, clippings,

runners, roots and leaves that have not decayed.

Excessive thatch prevents air, water and fertilizer

from reaching the roots. The de-thatcher effectively

dislodges excessive thatch from your lawn. Read

these instructions to help avoid improper adjustment

and operation.

Proper adjustment of the tine shield and spring

tines is important for effective performance. Refer

to the following steps for the proper adjustment

before operating the de-thatcher.

1. Move the towing vehicle onto a level surface, such

as a driveway or garage floor and attach the tine

de-thatcher to the vehicle hitch. See figure 10.

.To adjust the spring tine shield, lower the de-

thatcher into operating position using the lift

handle. Loosen the two hex nuts and carriage

bolts which fasten the rear of the hitch mount arms

to the hitch arm mount brackets. Adjust the tine

shield until it is level and both the front and rear

spring tines are in contact with the ground. Re-

tighten the hex nuts. See figure 10.

FIGURE 10

3. Vary the vehicle's forward speed until the best

de-thatching action is achieved.

4. For best results, use a crisscross pattern on your

lawn.

5. If the de-thatcher appears to be "jumping" during use, then

extra weight should be added to the tine shield. In most

conditions extra weight will be needed. Concrete patio blocks

are recommended for weight because of their low profile;

however any type of weight is suitable if it can be tied down to

the shield. Secure weight by using suitable binding material

such as rubber tie down straps or wire, fastening to the holes in

the shield flange.

See figure 11.

MAINTENANCE

1.Before each use check all nuts and bolts for tightness.

. Lubricate wheels as needed.

3. If rust appears on the shield or spring tines, sand

lightly and coat with enamel paint.

4. Always store in a dry area, and coat exposed

metal with light oil when not in use.
