Operation
Training Period
Before operating the verticutter reels, evaluate the
performance of the reel at the desired setting. Operate in a
clear, unused area to determine if the desired results will be
achieved. Adjust as desired.
Operating Tips
1.
Operate the traction unit at full throttle, full reel speed
(setting 11) and between 3–5 MPH (5–8 Km/h).
2.
The maximum recommended setting is 1/8 in. (3 mm)
deep blade penetration.
3.
Power requirements to operate the verticutter reels will
vary with turf and soil conditions. Travel speed may
need to be reduced in some conditions.
4.
When operating in turf conditions where much debris is
encountered, or unusually heavy thatch, open the front
and rear discharge shields to help allow the debris to
discharge from the reel.
Do not open rear shield so it is higher than level to
ground
Thrown debris could cause personal injury
