Anleitung Zusammenfassung
See figure 2. • Insert the bolt through the welded bracket and assemble the 1/2" nylock jam nut onto the bolt. Adjust the nuts so that there is no end play in the wheel and then tighten the nuts securely against the welded bracket. Make sure the wheel still turns freely. See figure 2.

Lay out all parts and hardware and identify using the illustrations on pages 3 and 4. • Turn the frame assembly as shown in figure 1. • Assemble seven spring tines to the top of the frame tube. Use a 5/16" x 1-1/2" hex bolt, two 3/8" flat washers and a 5/16" nylock nut for each spring tine. Place one 3/8" flat washer on top of the frame tube and the second 3/8" flat washer on top of the spring tine. See figure 1. FIGURE 2 KEEPER BRACKETU-BOLT1/4" NYLOCK NUT If you have a 30" sweeper, skip to figure 6. • Make sure the sweeper height adjustment handle is still set to about the middle of it's adjustment range. • Center the dethatcher with the sweeper. • Assemble the keeper brackets (bend to the inside) to the sweeper's hitch tube, outside of the conduit clamps. Use a u-bolt and two 1/4" nylock nuts per bracket. Position the keeper brackets against the sides of the conduit clamps, approximately perpendicular to the ground. Tighten the nuts without bending the keeper brackets. See figure 5. SWEEPERS WITH TWO HITCH TUBES Skip to page 6 for sweepers with single hitch tubes. • Assemble a conduit clamp onto each end of the sweeper height adjustment tube so that the straight part of the clamp is on top of the tube. • Remove the hitch brackets from the sweeper's hitch tubes. Slide the transport hook onto the L.H. hitch tube as shown in figure 3. • Reassemble the hitch brackets and bolts to the hitch tubes. Refer to your sweeper owner's manual.

Set the sweeper height adjustment handle to about the middle of it's adjustment range. • Place the dethatcher in front of the sweeper housing, underneath the hitch tubes. • Connect the dethatcher to the conduit clamps using two 5/16" x 1-3/8" clevis pins, 5/16" washers and 3/32" hair cotter pins. See figure 4. FIGURE 5 • Lift the front of the dethatcher and secure it in transport position using the transport hook. See figure 6. • To keep the transport hook from sliding back along the hitch tube, you can fasten the supplied nylon tie around the hitch tube behind the transport hook.

NOTE: The dethatcher attaches to the sweeper's offset tube. This prevents you from offsetting the sweeper. • Assemble the four bearings to the two spacers and then slide each through a clamp.

Lift up the front of the dethatcher and slide it into the double hooks to secure it in the transport position. FIGURE 8 FIGURE 11 OPERATION HOW TO USE YOUR DETHATCHER USING THE DETHATCHER Regular removal of thatch is critical to the maintenance of a healthy lawn. Thatch is layer of stems, clippings, runners, roots and leaves that have not decayed. Excessive thatch prevents air, water and fertilizer from reaching the roots. The dethatcher will effectively dislodge excessive thatch from your lawn. • Start with the tractor in low gear. Vary the forward speed to determine the best speed for maximum dethatcher performance. • Use a crisscross pattern to achieve the most even removal of thatch. • On slopes, always operate in an up and down direction only. • Avoid extremely sharp turns. • Avoid towing the dethatcher across sudden steep dips in the ground while dethatching. Loss of ground contact with the gauge wheel could cause the dethatcher to be pulled back underneath the sweeper. RAISING/LOWERING THE DETHATCHER • To raise the dethatcher for transport, lift up on the front of the dethatcher and secure it with the transport hook. Lower the dethatcher by releasing t...
