CUTTING SOD
WARNING
Underground utilities. Electrocution, explosion,
service disruption risk.
Before beginning any work, check with the local
authorities for underground utility location and
depth. Do not operate where there is any risk
of contacting underground utilities. Contacting
buried utilities could result in a service outage.
Contacting buried electrical wires could result in
electrocution. Contacting a buried gas line could
result in an explosion.
This precaution is especially important when
using attachments such as the mole blade or
trencher which operate at greater depths.
1. Move machine to the area where sod is to be
cut. With the engine off and the master clutch
disengaged, stand on the right side of the
machine. Loosen the Blade Depth Control
Locking Lever with your right hand, then use the
handle bar to tip the machine forward and hold
it with your left hand. Lower the Blade Depth
Control Lever with your right hand until it hits the
preset Depth Stop. Tighten the Locking Lever.
2. Start the engine, then engage the wheel drive
and the blade drive with the Wheel Drive Shifter
Lever and the Blade Drive Shifter Lever.
3. For straight cutting, leave the caster wheel
locking lever down. For cutting irregular or
curved shapes, raise the caster wheel locking
lever up and forward.
4. Adjust the throttle to full speed. With the
machine tipped forward, engage the Master
Clutch. The machine will start moving forward
and the blade drive will operate. Lower the
machine into the sod and cut for a short distance.
5. Stop the machine and check the sod thickness.
Adjust the Depth Stop and blade if necessary.
See Adjustment section.
6. Continue cutting. At the end of each pass lift up
on the handle to raise the blade out of the sod
and turn around for the next pass.
