Maintenance - Wen DT1315 Instruction Manual

ROUTINE INSPECTION
Before each use, inspect the tool. If any of these following conditions exist, do not use until parts are replaced.
Check for:
• Loose hardware or improper mounting
• Misalignment
• Cracked or broken parts
• Any other condition that may affect its safe operation
Once per season, lubricate the tines / blades and shaft. At the end of the season, check the dethatcher / scarifier for
damage prior to storing. Repair or replace damaged or broken parts.
CLEANING
CAUTION! Always clean the dethatcher / scarifier after each use. Failure to carry out proper cleaning can
result in damage to the dethatcher / scarifier or result in poor performance.
CAUTION! Never use a water hose to clean the dethatcher / scarifier.
Clean the underside of the tine guard and motor housing around the tines using a scrubbing brush and a soft cloth
dampened with a mild soap and water mixture.
To remove soil and debris from the transmission and tines, use a stiff brush or a dampened cloth.
Clean the vents on the motor housing and remove any remaining grass or dirt.
Once cleaned, wipe the tines and shaft dry and apply a light coat of oil to prevent rust.
