Setup
Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine
from the normal operating position.
Replace Center Cutting Unit
Pivot Pin
Note: On traction units with a serial number of 210000001
or prior, the pivot pin, on the center cutting unit carrier
frame only, must be replaced with a new longer pivot pin
and spacer to move cutting unit rearward (Fig. 1)

Leveling Front Roller
Note: Front roller has been leveled at the factory.
1. Place the verticutting reel on a level surface.
Note: To raise rear roller off the ground, place a flat bar
under the verticutting reel blades (Fig. 2). Be sure that the
bar covers the full length of the verticutting reel blades.

2. Rock verticutting reel on blades, so front roller touches
level surface. If a gap between front roller and surface
is greater than .010" (.25mm), proceed as follows:
Loosen the lock nuts securing the front roller brackets
to the side plates.
Push rearward on the front roller until roller is level on
surface, then, tighten the nuts. Do not turn the
capscrews—doing so may alter the roller adjustment.
Adjusting the Blade Depth
Note: The maximum recommended setting is 1/4 in.
(6 mm) deep blade penetration.
1. Place the verticutting reel on a level surface.
2. Place 2 gauge bars, which have the desired depth of
blade penetra0tion below the ground, under the front
and rear rollers of the verticutting reel (on each end of
the reel) (Fig. 3).

3. Turn the adjusting nut on each height-of-cut bracket
(Fig. 3) so that the reel blades come in contact with the
level surface on both ends.
Note: As the verticutting blades wear, the diameter of
the reel will decrease and the depth setting will change.
Check height setting periodically to insure desired
setting is achieved.
