Operation
Training Period
Before operating the verticutter reels, evaluate the
performance of the reel at the desired setting. Operate them
in a clear, unused area to determine if they will achieve the
desired results. Adjust them as desired.
Operating Tips
•
Operate the traction unit at full throttle, full reel speed
(setting 11) and between 5 to 8 km/h (3 to 5 mph).
•
The maximum recommended blade penetration depth
is 6 mm (1/4 inch).
•
Power requirements to operate the verticutter reels will
vary with turf and soil conditions. Travel speed may need
to be reduced in some conditions.
•
When operating in turf conditions with much debris or
unusually heavy thatch, open the rear discharge shield to
help allow the debris to discharge from the reel.
WARNING
Opening the rear shield too much could cause
personal injury due to thrown debris.
Do not open the rear shield so that it is higher than
level to the ground.
