5.4 Verticutting
1. Select the depth of cut via the height adjustment knob.
Normal range of cut (with standard 190mm blades) is 0mm to
25 mm deep. One revolution of the knob is approximately
equivalent to 1mm change in the cutting depth. Clockwise
rotation of the knob means a shallower cut; anti-clockwise
means a deeper cut.
2. Increase engine speed to maximum rpm; maximum engine
speed results in a high blade tip speed and a cleaner cut.
3. Engage the blades by slowly pulling the pulley clutch handle
toward you.
4. Lower the blades into the turf by slowly pushing the lifting /
lowering handle forward.
5. Move the motion lever forward until you are moving at the
desired speed.
6. The machine will naturally run in a straight line whilst in drive.
Ensure that you maintain a straight line while the blades are
cutting. Trying to change direction while the blades are in the
turf may lead to a furrowing/scalping action and can put
undue stress on the blades and belts.
7. At the end of a pass:
- depress the Neutral Lever
- raise the blades by pulling the Lifting/Lowering Handle
towards you
- line up the Verticutter for your next run
-
lower the blades with the Lifting/Lowering Handle
-
release the Neutral lever
When travelling from area to area always raise and disengage the
blades.
5.5 Shut Down
1. Move the motion lever to the stop position
2. Raise the blades out of turf.
3. Disengage blades.
4. Traverse machine to storage/maintenance area.
5. Turn engine speed to idle.
6. Turn engine switch to OFF.
7. Slide petrol lever to OFF.
8. Clear rotor blades of any debris.
9. Clear transmission of any debris, ensuring cooling fins are not
clogged.
10. Generally clean the Verticutter, making sure that there is no
accumulated debris around the engine.
