Swisher DT-40 DE-THATCHER, Manual

Page: 7 / 8

5. If the de-thatcher appears to be "jumping" during use, then
extra weight should be added to the tine shield. In most
conditions extra weight will be needed. Concrete patio blocks
are recommended for weight because of their low profile;
however any type of weight is suitable if it can be tied down to
the shield. Secure weight by using suitable binding material
such as rubber tie down straps or wire, fastening to the holes in
the shield flange.
See figure 11.
MAINTENANCE
1.Before each use check all nuts and bolts for tightness.
2. Lubricate wheels as needed.
3. If rust appears on the shield or spring tines, sand
lightly and coat with enamel paint.
4. Always store in a dry area, and coat exposed
metal with light oil when not in use.
