Product Overview Operation Specifications Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Net weight 64 kg (140 lb) 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 whether the desired results will be achieved. Make adjustments as necessary. Operating Tips 1.
Maintenance with a light coating of grease to simplify the assembly (Figure 17). Lubricating the Verticutter Each verticutter has 5 grease fittings (Figure 16) that must be lubricated weekly with No. 2 lithium grease. The lubrication points are the front roller (2), the rear roller (2), and the reel motor splines (1). Important: Lubricating the cutting units immediately after washing helps purge water out of the bearings and increases bearing life. 1. Wipe each grease fitting with a clean rag. 2.
Installing the Verticutter Blades 1. Assemble a reel blade (Figure 18). 2. Assemble a large spacer. 3. Do not invert the reel blades when reassembling them onto the reel shaft. Note: If the blades are inverted, the blades that are in use (rounded) will be mixed with the sharp ends of the blades which were not in use. This will cause unsatisfactory performance in the verticutter reel unit. Pay close attention when disassembling the verticutter blades from the reel. 4.
