Operation and Adjustments

STARTING AND STOPPING THE DETHATCHER (Fig. 4)
IMPORTANT: Prior to dethatching the lawn, the lawn should be mowed to a
height of approx. 2" (0.05 m). Doing this will lengthen the life span of the tines and
prevent unnecessary motor overload on the dethatcher.
Starting the Dethatcher:
• Plug the dethatcher into an approved outdoor extension cord.
• Press and hold the Power button (1). This makes the bale switch operational.
• Pull the bale switch (2) upward to the handlebar to operate.
Stopping the Dethatcher:
• Release the bale.
CIRCUIT BREAKER (Fig. 4)
This dethatcher is equipped with a circuit breaker in order to protect the supply circuit
from short-circuit overloads.
Follow these steps if the switch pops out:
1. Release the trigger switch, and allow the dethatcher to stop and cool down for a
minute.
2. Press the circuit breaker in order to reset it. Resume operation (See Figure 4).
Follow these steps if the switch pops out again shortly after the first time:
1. Allow the dethatcher to stop and cool down for 15 to 30 minutes.
2. After the dethatcher has cooled down, press the circuit breaker in order to reset it.
Resume operation.
If the circuit breaker does not stay in, or if it continues to pop out during operation,
contact the Toll-Free Helpline, at 1-866-523-5218.
