DETHATCHER KIT INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL
ACCESSORY)
IMPORTANT
THE DRAG STAKE MOUNT KIT IS REQUIRED TO USE THE
DK43 DETHATCHER KIT.
The Dethatcher Kit is very effective for lifting away the
excessive matted layers of thatch that can prevent moisture,
oxygen and nutrients from penetrating the soil and can harbor
disease and insects. Use in Spring, Summer, and Fall to bring
life and color back to your lawn.
1. Flip the ON/OFF switch to the OFF or STOP position. Re-
move the cultivating tines or other working tools, and the
drag stake.
2. Unscrew mount bolts/nuts that connect the wheel bracket
to the drag stake mount and set wheel bracket aside. SEE
FIGURE 14.
3. Slide dethatcher shield over the unit’s tine shield from
the rear of the unit and secure using bolts and nuts. SEE
FIGURES 14 AND 15.
4. Secure the lower part of the dethatcher shield to the drag
stake mount using the lock pin. SEE FIGURE 15.
5. Install wheel extension plate using additional bolts and
nuts. Make sure wheel extension is facing the correct
direction. (The side, with the two holes flush to the edge,
connects to the drag stake mount). SEE FIGURES 14 AND
15.
a. Attach the wheel extension to the drag stake mount
with mount bolts and nuts from unit.
b. Attach the wheel bracket to the wheel extension with
bolts and nuts included with the Dethatcher Kit.
6. Slide the left and right Dethatcher assemblies onto the
tine shaft making sure the right assembly is installed on
the right side and left assembly is installed on the left side
as defined from the user’s position. SEE FIGURE 14.
7. Secure dethatcher assemblies using the hairpins. The hair-
pins go through the inner holes of the tine shaft.
SEE FIGURE 14.
NOTE: A drag stake should not be used when using the
dethatcher kit.
