Lawn Dethatching & Leaf Raking
IMPORTANT: Optional lawn dethatching
wheels must be installed to perform these
tasks in order to avoid excessive ground
contact.
1. Bristles should barely touch the ground for
lawn dethatching and leaf raking
operations.
2. To adjust the height of the wheel (1/4" at a
time, from 4 1/4" minimum to 9 1/2"
maximum) slide the inner tube upward or
downward, as needed, and insert the
square wire lock pin in the open hole.
3. We recommend adjusting the wheel height
to 1" lower than the brush height to make a
first try on the grass. Then raise or lower
the wheels as required.
4. Slower brush speed and ground speed are
more adequate for lawn dethatching. This
will avoid bouncing which could damage
the lawn due to excessive ground contact.
5. Minimize dust by reducing brush speed
and by sweeping when moisture is high
(but not wet) whenever possible..
Snow Removal
WARNING:
To avoid serious injuries: Foreign
objects in snow may be thrown farther than
the snow. Use the slowest brush speed
that will perform the job. Stay aware of
broom discharge direction.
WARNING:
To avoid serious injuries: Snow or ice
build-up on the sweeper hood can cause a
loss of tractor steering control. Regularly
remove any snow or ice from the sweeper
hood to prevent the excess weight from
affecting steering.
1. This broom's optimum performance is
achieved when snow depth is 3" or less.
2. To avoid the snow from being blown back
on the tractor and operator, sweep with the
wind blowing in the direction of broom
discharge.
3. Vary the brush speed and broom angle so
the brush throws material on each side to
prevent excessive accumulations.
4. Brush speed must be at its maximum to
obtain a better performance in wet, heavy
snow or slush
