TRANSPORTING TO SITE
To avoid damage to the machine, lawn or pavement, always
move HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT LEVER to “TRANSPORT”
position when moving from one location to another. Refer to
Figure 4. Also, when transporting, the
machine is more easily steered when tilted backwards onto
its rear wheels.
DETHATCHING PROCEDURE
The DETHATCHER/SLICER SHOULD NOT BE PULLED
BACKWARDS! If an area must be gone over again, turn the
machine around.
NOTE
*Do not use this machine on wet or water soaked
lawns. This will pull turf off the surface of the lawn,
particularly in rough or bumpy areas.
*Before using your machine, inspect the lawn and
remove all sticks, stones, wire and any foreign objects
that are likely to damage the machine.
*Do not use machine in tall grass. You receive a
better job when raking after a recent mowing.
*Do not let the DETHATCHER set in one spot without
having the clutch disengaged. Failure to do this will
cause the unit to dig up turf.
