!WARNINGFailure to install safety wires can result in personal injury if a tine should dis-engage from the tine tray.

OPERATION

Tine ACTION- Grass should be less than 3" tall for proper tine action.

When in use, all tines on the De-thatcher should deflect back and "flip" the thatch forward as shown.

If the tines seem to drag without flipping forward, the tine tray is too low and should be raised.

If all the tines stay in the free position, the tray should be lowered.

Make adjustments as necessary, up or down, by no more than 1/4" each time, until proper results are achieved.

MAINTENANCEThe key to years of trouble-free service is to keep your dethatcher clean and dry.

Occasionally check all moving parts for free movement and if necessary, lubricate with oil.

Should rust develop, sand lightly and then paint area with enamel.

Periodically check all fasteners for tightness.
