of the cutting discs.
◦
The pitch of the cutting discs should allow the rearmost disc to enter
the soil before the lead disc when the discs are lowered into the soil.
◦
DO NOT exceed a maximum of 15° difference in height between the
rearmost and lead cutting disc.
•
Lower the cutting discs into the ground, but do not exceed 1” (25mm)
cut depth.
◦
DO NOT cut sod with the lead blade! This indicates either there is
not enough pitch or the cutting depth is too deep, and will result
in peeling large clumps of sod; this is undesireable. Cutting is
accomplished with the other blades.
-
Adjust your pitch as needed to prevent cutting with the lead disc.
