Operation

Training Period

Before operating the dethatching unit on a green,
evaluate the performance of the dethatching unit at
the desired setting. Operate in a clear, unused area
to determine if the desired results will be achieved.
Adjust the dethatching unit when changing settings
as desired.
Note:
When the dethatching units are mounted on
Greensmaster 3200, 3200-D or 3250-D traction units
and are operated under heavy loads, you may need
to adjust the carrier frame and unit circuit relief valve.

Operating Tips

Operate the traction unit at full throttle, varying the
ground speed to meet dethatching loads.
The maximum recommended negative setting on
the dethatching blades is 5 mm (3/16 inch) deep
penetration.
The power requirements to operate the dethatching
unit will vary with turf and soil conditions.
The travel speed may need to be reduced in some
conditions.
