• Power requirements to operate the verticutter reels will vary with turf and soil conditions. Travel speed may need to be reduced in some conditions. • When operating in turf conditions where there is excessive debris or thatch, open the front and rear discharge shields to help allow the debris to discharge from the reel. CAUTION Thrown debris could cause personal injury. Do not open the rear shield so that it is higher than level to the ground.
Maintenance Removing the Verticutter Blades from the Shaft Lubricating the Verticutter 1. Each verticutter has 5 grease fittings (Figure 13) that must be lubricated weekly with No. 2 lithium grease. 2. Secure the end of the verticutter shaft, which has only one washer and nut, in a vise. On other end of shaft, rotate the nut counter-clockwise and remove the nut. The lubrication points are the front roller (2), the rear roller (2), and the reel motor splines (1).
Installing the Verticutter Blades 1. Assemble a blade (Figure 15). 2. Assemble a large spacer. 3. Do not invert the reel blades when assembling them on the reel shaft. Note: If you invert the blades, the blades in use (rounded) will mix with the sharp ends of the previously unused blades, resulting in unsatisfactory cutting performance. 4. Install the next blade clockwise so that the index reference hole (Figure 15) is not aligned with the first blade hole by one flat of the shaft.
Optional Blade Spacing 0.50-Inch Blade Spacing for Model 03618 To change the configuration of the verticutter from the standard 0.75-inch spacing to the 0.50-inch spacing requires an additional 34 spacers, Part No. 17-1580 and an additional 10 carbide blades, Part No. 106-6355, or an additional 10 regular blades and Part No. 17-1590 (Figure 16). g017411 Figure 16 1. 0.50-inch spacing 2. 0.75-inch spacing 1.
