Adjustment after Wear and Tear
(Fig. 5)
Note:
Do not use wear adjustment to adjust height. Adjusting the cylinder of the verticutter
without any visible wear and tear may result in damage to the cylinder of the verticutter or
engine stalling.
During use, the cylinders, blades and springs of the verticutter are subject to wear and tear as
a result of the method of operation. The more intensively the verticutter is used, the higher is
the wear and tear of the blades or springs.
Hard or very dry soil, as well as excessive use, accelerate the process of wear and tear.
If the results of your work with the aerator are increasingly deteriorating as a result of blade
wearing, the cylinder of the verticutter can be adjusted twice.
The cylinder of the verticutter has 4 adjustment positions:
Transport position 1
Aerating position 2
Aerating position 3:
First adjustment position after the blade wearing
(the cylinder of the verticutter is lowered by 3 mm)
Aerating position 4:
Second adjustment position after the blade wearing
(the cylinder of the verticutter is lowered by additional 3 mm)
Slightly push away the wear compensation lever 14 from the cover and slide it to the desired
position.
