Operation Training Period Before operating the verticutter reels, evaluate the performance of the reel at the desired setting. Operate them in a clear, unused area to determine if they will achieve the desired results. Adjust them as desired. Operating Tips • Operate the traction unit at full throttle, full reel speed (setting 11) and between 5 to 8 km/h (3 to 5 mph). • The maximum recommended blade penetration depth is 6 mm (1/4 inch).
Maintenance Adjusting the Reel Bearings To ensure long life of the reel bearings, periodically check for any reel end play. Check and adjust the bearings as follows: Lubricating the Verticutter 1. Hold on to the reel shaft and try to move the reel assembly side to side (Figure 16). Each cutting unit has 7 grease fittings that you must lubricate weekly with No. 2 lithium grease. The lubrication points are the front roller (2), the rear roller (2), the reel bearings (2), and the bed-knife adjuster.
Replacing the Blades 5. Continue to install spacers and blades in this manner until the full complement of blades have been installed. Removing the Blades from the Shaft Note: When properly assembled, the blades are staggered in such a manner as to appear like a helix. 1. Secure the end of the verticutter shaft that has only 1 washer and 1 nut in a vise. 6. Install the small spacer to the shaft. 7. Apply blue Loctite 242 to the nut. 2.
