Operation

Raising/Lowering the Dethatcher
1. To raise the dethatcher for transport lift up the back
until the tines are no longer in contact with the ground.
2. To lower the dethatcher for operation, move the
Handle to the down position.
3. Do not use more than 70 lbs ballast on the Base.
Using the Dethatcher
Regular removal of thatch is a critical step for the
maintenance of a healthy lawn. Thatch is a layer of
stems, clippings, runners, roots, and leaves that has
not decayed. Excessive thatch prevents air, water,
and fertilizer from reaching the roots. The dethatcher
will effectively dislodge excessive thatch from your
lawn. Use your dethatcher in the mid-tolate Spring
and/or in early Fall.
1. Your grass should be less than 3" tall for proper tine
action.
2. Start with the tractor in low gear. Vary the forward
speed to determine the best speed for maximum
performance.
3. When in use, all tines on the dethatcher should
bend to the back and "flip" the thatch forward as it is
pulled.
4. Use a crisscross pattern to achieve the most even
removal of thatch.
5. On slopes, always operate in an up and down
direction only.
6. Avoid extremely sharp turns.
7. Not for use with Zero Turn Radius Mowers.

Maintenance

1. Before each use check all nuts and bolts for
tightness.
2. Clean after each use to prevent rust. The key to
years of trouble-free service is to keep your dethatcher
clean and dry.
3. If rust should develop, sand lightly and then paint
area with enamel.
4. Periodically check all moving parts for free
movement and if necessary, lubricate with oil.
Storage
1. Be careful to store your dethatcher with the tines
pointed towards the floor or a wall. Tines are sharp
and can cause considerable damage.
2. Always store in a dry area, and coat exposed
metal with light oil when not in use.
