OPERATION
Regular removal of thatch is critical to maintenance of a
healthy lawn. Excessive thatch prevents air, water and fertil-
izer from reaching the roots. To effectively dislodge excessive
thatch from your lawn, read these instructions for proper
adjustment and operation of the dethatcher.
ADJUSTMENT OF TINE SHIELD
Move the towing vehicle onto a level surface, such as a
driveway or garage floor and attach the tine dethatcher
to the vehicle hitch. See figure 7.
Lower the dethatcher into operating position using the
lift handle. Loosen the two nylock nuts and carriage
bolts which fasten the hitch mount arms to the hitch
arm mount brackets at the rear of the tine shield. Adjust
the tine shield until it is level and both the front and rear
spring tines are in contact with the ground. Retighten
the hex nuts. See figure 7.

OPERATING TIPS
Vary the vehicle's forward speed until the best dethatching
action is achieved.
For best results, use a crisscross pattern on your lawn.
If the dethatcher appears to be "jumping" during use,
then extra weight should be added to the tine shield. In
most conditions extra weight will be needed. Concrete
patio blocks are recommended for weight because of
their low profile; however any type of weight is suitable
if it can be tied down to the shield. Secure weight by
using suitable binding material such as rubber tie down
straps or wire, fastening to the holes in the shield flange.
See figure 8.
