Turn the adjusting bolt on each height-of-cut bracket (Figure 4) so that the reel blades come in contact with the level surface on both ends.
The verticutters can be installed at any of the five locations on the traction unit. Figure 7 shows the orientation of the hydraulic drive motor for each of the locations. For any of the locations requiring the motor to be mounted on the right end of the verticutter, install a counterweight on the left end of the verticutter.

Product Overview Operation Specifications Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Net Weight 158 lb. (72 kg) Training Period Before operating the verticutter reels, evaluate the performance of the reel at the desired setting. Operate in a clear, unused area to determine if the desired results will be achieved. Adjust as desired. Operating Tips 1. Operate the traction unit at full throttle, full reel speed (setting 9) and at desired traction speed.
Maintenance Lubricating the Verticutter Each verticutter has 6 grease fittings (Figure 8) that must be lubricated weekly with No. 2 General Purpose Lithium Base Grease. The lubrication points are the front roller (2), the rear roller (2) and the reel bearings (2). 1 Important: Lubricating cutting units immediately after washing helps purge water out of bearings and increases bearing life.
