Adjusting the Blade Depth

No Parts Required
Procedure
Note:
The maximum recommended blade
penetration depth is 6 mm (1/4 inch).
1. Place the verticutter reel on a level surface.
2. Place 2 gauge bars, which have the desired
depth of blade penetration below the ground,
under the front and rear rollers of the verticutter
reel (on each end of the reel)
1. Gauge bar
Note:
The verticutter blades must not touch the
gauge bars.
3. Turn the adjusting bolt on each height-of-cut
bracket (Figure 7) so that the reel blades come
in contact with the level surface on both ends.
Note:
As the verticutter blades wear, the
diameter of the reel decreases and the depth
setting changes. Check the depth setting
periodically to ensure that the desired setting is
achieved.
