Page 15: Blade Versatility
Blade versatility Flail blade Thatch is the dense layer of clippings, roots and stems that forms between the soil and the base of the grass. As thatch builds up, it prevents water, air and fertilizer from being absorbed into the soil. This causes shallow root development leading to vulnerability to drought and frost. -
Page 16: Operation
Before you start • Mow the lawn 1/2" shorter than normal. • Allow the lawn to dry. Wet conditions can cause extensive damage to healthy grass. FLAIL BLADES OR SPRING TINES: • Flail Blades or Spring Tines: Set blade or tine depth so that the blades or tines just touch on a flat surface such as a sidewalk or driveway. -
