2. Rock verticutting reel on blades, so front roller touches level surface. If a gap between front roller and surface is greater than .010” (.25mm), proceed as follows: Setup Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. • Loosen the lock nuts securing the front roller brackets to the side plates. • Push rearward on the front roller until roller is level on surface, then, tighten the nuts. Do not turn the capscrews—doing so may alter the roller adjustment.
Adjust Front and Rear Grass Shields Note: 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. 1. Loosen the capscrews on the pivot of the grass shield. 2. Rotate the grass shield to the desired setting and tighten the capscrew. 2 3 1 2 Figure 5 1. Front roller scraper 2. Rear roller scraper 4 3.
Operation 3. Power requirements to operate the verticutting reels will vary with turf and soil conditions. Travel speed may need to be reduced in some conditions. Training Period 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. Before operating the verticutting reels, evaluate the performance of the reel at the desired setting.
