WARNING
ProThatch users risk injury to themselves and others if the ProThatch attachment is used improperly and or safety
precautions are not followed. Proper clothing and safety gear must be worn when operating the ProThatch attach-
ment. Failure to do so can result in serious injury.
Hearing Protection
ECHO recommends wearing hearing protection whenever
unit is used.
Physical Condition
Your judgment and physical dexterity may not be good:
• if you are sick,
• if you are taking medication,
Proper Clothing
• if you have taken alcohol or drugs.
Operate unit only if you are physically and mentally well.
Wear snug fitting, durable clothing;
• Pants should have long legs, shirts with long sleeves.
• Wear hair covering to contain long hair.
• DO NOT WEAR SHORTS,
Eye Protection
Wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 or CE re-
quirements whenever you operate the unit.
• DO NOT WEAR TIES, SCARFS, JEWELRY.
Wear sturdy work shoes with non-skid soles;
• DO NOT WEAR OPEN TOED SHOES,
• DO NOT OPERATE UNIT BAREFOOTED.
Keep long hair away from engine and air intake. Retain
hair with cap or net.
Hand Protection
Wear no-slip, heavy duty work gloves to improve your
grip on the handles. Gloves also reduce the transmission
of machine vibration to your hands.
Hot Humid Weather
Heavy protective clothing can increase operator fatigue
which may lead to heat stroke. Schedule heavy work for
early morning or late afternoon hours when temperatures
are cooler.
Vibration and Cold --
It is believed that a condition called Raynaud’s Phenomenon, which affects the fingers of certain individuals may be
brought about by exposure to vibration and cold. Exposure to vibration and cold may cause tingling and burning sen-
sations followed by loss of color and numbness in the fingers. The following precautions are strongly recommended
because the minimum exposure which might trigger the ailment is unknown.
•
•
•
Keep your body warm, especially the head, neck, feet, ankles,
hands and wrists.
Maintain good blood circulation by performing vigorous arm exer-
cises during frequent work breaks and also by not smoking.
Limit the hours of operation. Try to fill each day with jobs where
operating the unit or other hand-held power equipment is not
required.
•
If you experience discomfort, redness, and swelling of the fingers
followed by whitening and loss of feeling, consult your physician
before further exposing yourself to cold and vibration.

Repetitive Stress Injuries --
It is believed that overusing the muscles and tendons of the fingers, hands, arms, and shoulders may cause soreness,
swelling, numbness, weakness, and extreme pain in those areas. Certain repetitive hand activities may put you at a high
risk for developing a Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI). An extreme RSI condition is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), which
could occur when your wrist swells and squeezes a vital nerve that runs through the area. Some believe that prolonged
exposure to vibration may contribute to CTS. CTS can cause severe pain for months or even years.
To reduce the risk of RSI/CTS, do the following:
• Avoid using your wrist in a bent, extended or twisted position. Instead
try to maintain a straight wrist position. Also, when grasping, use your
whole hand, not just the thumb and index finger.
• Take periodic breaks to minimize repetition and rest your hands.
• Reduce the speed and force in which you do the repetitive movement.
• Do exercises to strengthen the hand and arm muscles.
• See a doctor if you feel tingling, numbness or pain in the fingers,
hands, wrists or arms. The sooner RSI/CTS is diagnosed, the more
likely permanent nerve and muscle damage can be prevented.
DANGER
Do not operate this product indoors or in inadequately ventilated
areas. Engine exhaust contains poisonous emissions and can cause
serious injury or death.
Read the Manuals
• Provide all users of this equipment with the Operator's Manual and
Safety Manual for instructions on Safe Operation.
Clear the Work Area
• Spectators and fellow workers must be warned, and children and
animals prevented from coming nearer than 15 m (50 ft.) while the
unit is in use.
Keep a Firm Grip
• Hold the front and rear handles with both hands, with thumbs and
fingers tightly encircling the handles.
Keep a Solid Stance
• Maintain footing and balance at all times. Do not stand on slippery,
uneven or unstable surfaces. Do not work in odd positions or on lad-
ders. Do not over reach.
Avoid hot Surfaces
• During operation, the drive shaft housing, attachment bearing hous-
ing and muffler cover area may become very hot, too hot to touch.
Avoid contact during and immediately after operation.

WARNING
Moving parts can amputate fingers or cause severe injuries. Keep hands, clothing and loose objects away from all
openings. Always stop engine, disconnect spark plug, and make sure all moving parts have come to a complete
stop before removing obstructions, clearing debris, or servicing unit.
NOTE
• Refer to your Pro Attachment Series or Split Boom Operator's Manuals for correct engine fueling, starting and
stopping instructions.
Dethatching Information
Thatch is a normal buildup of grass and leaf clippings around the base of grass stems. Excessive thatch prevents air, wa-
ter and nutrients from reaching the root system, increasing the probability of lawn disease from mold spore and insects.
When excessive thatch is removed, air, water, nutrients and pesticides are allowed to keep your lawn healthy, promoting
denser, greener grass. In most areas some thatch approximately 6-13 mm (0.25 - 0.50 in.) is healthy for soil water reten-
tion. Never remove all thatch from your lawn. Contact your local government agriculture agency for best dethatching
practice for your lawn type and area.
Dethatching is recommended in early spring and late summer to allow grass to fill in low density areas of your lawn.
Dethatching should also be performed at regular intervals throughout spring and summer.
Dethatching is not recommended for grasses that have above ground root systems such as St. Augustine, Floratam, Pers-
ley, or Zoysia varieties. The dethatcher tines will damage delicate interconnected root systems of these grass varieties.
Dethatching Operation
1. Operate dethatcher in straight rows changing direction from row to
row as shown. If thatch is very dense a second dethatching opera-
tion may be required, and should be performed 90° to the original
pattern to assure best results.
2. Hold unit in a comfortable position engage throttle trigger to full
and allow dethatcher tines to "pull forward" over the ground. For
heavy thatch removal gently pull back against dethatching rotation,
to allow the tines to fully penetrate and remove thatch.
IMPORTANT
Do not remove grass guide attached to the gear housing to achieve
deeper tine engagement. The guide prevents tines from penetrat-
ing too deeply into the ground which can cause the dethatcher to
bounce during operation, and cause uneven thatch removal.
