Operation  
INTENDED USE: This machine is designed for removing  
thatch from your lawn, renovation of existing lawns, and to  
assist in overseeding operations. The machine should not  
be used for any other purpose than that stated above.  
ADJUSTING BLADE DEPTH  
Do not operate if excessive vibration occurs. If excessive  
vibration occurs, shut engine off immediately and check for  
damaged or worn reel, loose pulley bolts or set screws, loose  
engine or lodged foreign objects. (See trouble shooting  
section on page 12).  
Clockwise:  
To lower blades  
Counter Clockwise:  
To raise blades  
Like all mechanical tools, reasonable care must  
be used when operating machine.  
Inspect machine work area and machine before operat-  
ing. Make sure that all operators of this equipment are  
trained in general machine use and safety.  
STARTING ENGINE  
ENGINE: See engine manufacturer’s instructions  
for type and amount of oil and gasoline used.  
Engine must be level when checking and filling oil and  
gasoline.  
The depth of the blades can be raised or lowered by rotating the  
knob on the top of the adjustment lever. The blades are lowered  
by rotating the knob clockwise, and raised by rotating the knob  
counter-clockwise. The relative depth of the blades can be  
gauged by using the depth scale located on the right front corner  
of the engine base.  
ENGINE SPEED: Controlled by throttle lever on the engine.  
Under normal conditions, operate at full throttle to accom-  
plish your task.  
FUEL VALVE: Move fuel valve to "ON" position (Honda  
only).  
RAKING OPERATION  
CHOKE: Operated with lever on the engine.  
DO NOT- Use this machine on any surface other than a lawn.  
DO NOT- Use this machine on slopes in excess of 19°.  
DO NOT- Allow persons unfamiliar with this equipment to operate it.  
DO NOT- Allow children to operate this equipment.  
THROTTLE: Move throttle control on engine to fast position.  
Pull starting rope to start engine.  
IF YOUR UNIT FAILS TO START:  
See Troubleshooting on page 12.  
MOW: Mow the lawn to it's normal cut height  
BLADE POSITION & DEPTH CONTROL LEVER  
DRY: Be sure grass is dry. Wet conditions can cause in-  
creased damage to healthy grass.  
The blades can be raised or lowered into the ground by height  
adjusment lever on the engine base. The resulting blade  
depth can be adjusted higher or lower.  
SET DEPTH: With engine off, set the raking depth so that the  
blades just touch on a flat surface (i.e. driveway, or sidewalk).  
See ADJUSTING BLADE DEPTH.  
START ENGINE: See above.  
BLADES UP  
ENGAGE BLADES: Pull back on the bail on the operators  
handle. NOTE: When engaging the blades in heavy load  
conditions (i.e. heavy thatch, or very uneven turf), push down  
on the operators handle lifting the front wheels slightly.  
Engage the blades. Slowly lower the unit into the turf.  
RAKE: Rake a small test area and examine the results.  
Thatch should be removed and deposited on top of the healthy  
grass. If excessive damage occurs to healty grass, adjust the  
blade depth to decrease damage. Continue raking the yard,  
working in one direction (i.e. north-south, or east-west).  
NOTE: If a large drop in engine RPM occurs, or the unit pulls  
you forward and bounces during operation the blade depth is  
set too low.  
REMOVE THATCH: After raking, a layer of thatch will be  
deposited over the top of the lawn. This thatch must be  
removed prior to any fertilizing, seeding, or watering of the  
lawn. We suggest the use of a lawn vacuum or wheeled  
blower for collection and removal of the thatch.

OVERSEEDING OPERATION continued  
VERTI-CUTTING OPERATION  
SLICE: Run machine over the area that has been seeded to  
incorporate the seed into the soil. If excessive damage  
occurs to healthy grass, adjust the blade depth to decrease  
damage. Continue raking the yard, working in one direction  
(i.e. north-south, or east-west). NOTE: If a large drop in  
engine RPM occurs, or the unit pulls you forward and  
bounces during operation the blade depth is set too low.  
DO NOT- Use this machine on any surface other than a lawn.  
DO NOT- Use this machine on slopes in excess of 19°.  
DO NOT- Allow persons unfamiliar with this equipment to  
operate it.  
DO NOT- Allow children to operate this equipment.  
MOW: Mow the lawn to it's normal cut height  
WATER/FERTILIZE: After the seed has been worked into  
the soil, water and fertilize according to the seed suppliers  
directions.  
DRY: Be sure grass is dry. Wet conditions can cause in-  
creased damage to healty grass.  
SET DEPTH: With engine off, set the raking depth so that the  
blades just touch on a flat surface (i.e. driveway, or sidewalk).  
RAKING/SLICING TIPS  
START ENGINE: See Page 5.  
THATCH: Thatch is a dense layer of dead grass, clippings,  
and roots that builds up over time at the base of of the lawn  
preventing air, water, and fertilizer from reaching the soil.  
This can cause shallow root development and make a lawn  
more susceptible to drought and disease. Thatch also  
provides an ideal environment for insects to hide and  
multiply. Periodic removal of thatch will keep your lawn in  
good health.  
ENGAGE BLADES: Pull back on the bail on the operators  
handle. NOTE: When engaging the blades in heavy load  
conditions (i.e. heavy thatch, or very uneven turf), push down  
on the operators handle lifting the front wheels slightly.  
Engage the blades. Slowly lower the unit into the turf.  
SLICE: Verti-cut a small test area and examine the results.  
Some thatch and cut stems should be removed and deposited  
on top of the healthy grass. Grass runners should be cut and  
ready for removal. If excessive damage occurs to healthy  
grass, adjust the blade depth to decrease damage. Continue  
raking the yard, working in one direction (i.e. north-south, or  
east-west). NOTE: If a large drop in engine RPM occurs, or  
the unit pulls you forward and bounces during operation the  
blade depth is set too low.  
HEAVY THATCH: Lawns with an excessive amount of thatch  
will require multiple treatments for effective removal. Trying  
to remove excessive thatch (greater than 3/4"[19 mm] deep)  
in one treatment will damage or destroy the living part of the  
lawn. It is best to remove heavy thatch in seasonal treat-  
ments (i.e. spring, and fall).  
CHECK: Before begining, it is best to evaluate the condi-  
tion of the lawn by cutting one or more core samples from  
area to be treated. A core can be cut using a piece of pvc,  
or metal pipe. Hammer the pipe into the ground, remove it,  
push the core out of the pipe and inspect it to determine the  
depth of thatch in your yard.  
REMOVE THATCH/STEMS: After verti-cutting, a layer of  
thatch and cut stems will be deposited over the top of the lawn.  
We suggest the use of a lawn vacuum or wheeled blower for  
collection and removal of the thatch/stems.  
SLOPES: Rake slopes across not up and down. This is  
much easier and safer for the operator and is better for the  
lawn. Raking across will help to reduce runoff during  
watering and allow the sloped ground to hold more seed,  
fertilizer, and water. The units maximum operating slope is  
35% or 19°.  
OVERSEEDING OPERATION  
DO NOT- Use this machine on any surface other than a lawn.  
DO NOT- Use this machine on slopes in excess of 19°.  
DO NOT- Allow persons unfamiliar with this equipment to  
operate it.  
DEPTH: The wide range of depth adjusment on your unit is  
provided to allow for blade wear. Setting the reel deeper will  
not produce better, or quicker results. The flail reel is  
intended to be set so it just touches the surface on flat  
ground. The slicing reel should be set even with the ground  
for verti-slicing work, and set to a maximum 1/2" depth for  
overseeding jobs. Setting the reel deeper than this will only  
result in premature wear on the unit (i.e. failed belt). If you  
desire to work the ground deeper than the above guidlines  
allow, it should be done gradually in multiple passes.  
DO NOT- Allow children to operate this equipment.  
MOW: Mow the lawn to it's normal cut height  
DRY: Be sure grass is dry. Wet conditions can cause in-  
creased damage to healthy grass.  
SEED: Spred grass seed according to the seed suppliers  
directions (e.g. 10 lbs. per 1000 ft2 [4.5 kg. per 93 m2 ])  
SET DEPTH: With engine off, set the raking depth so that the  
blades reach 1/4"-1/2"(6-12 mm) below a flat surface (i.e.  
driveway, or sidewalk).  
FOLDING HANDLE  
This unit is equipped with a folding upper handle for easier storage  
and transportation. The handle can be folded by sliding the handle  
lock loops(item 28) up. This releases the upper handle, allowing it to  
be folded over the unit.  
START ENGINE: See Page 5.  
ENGAGE CLUTCH: Pull back on the bail on the operators  
handle. NOTE: When engaging the clutch in heavy load  
conditions (i.e. heavy thatch, or very uneven turf), push down  
on the operators handle lifting the front wheels slightly.  
Engage the clutch. Slowly lower the unit into the turf.  
HANDLING & TRANSPORTING  
This unit requires two people to lift it. With the handle in the folded  
position, lift holding the lower handle and belt/shaft guard one on  
each side of the machine. Secure the machine in place during  
transport.

If engine is to be unused for 30 days or more, prepare as follows:  
Remove all gasoline from carburetor and fuel tank to prevent  
gum deposits from forming on these parts and causing possible  
malfunction of engine. Drain fuel outdoors, into an approved  
container, away from open flame. Be sure engine is cool. Do not  
smoke. Run engine until fuel tank is empty and engine runs out of  
gasoline.  
When servicing engine refer to specific manufacturers engine  
owner's manual. All engine warranty is covered by the specific  
engine manufacturer. If your engine requires warranty or other  
repair work contact your local servicing engine dealer. When  
contacting a dealer for service it is a good idea to have your engine  
model number available for reference(See table page above). If  
you can not locate a servicing dealer in your area you can contact  
the manufacturers national service organization.  
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer (such as Sta-Bil) is an acceptable alternative in minimizing  
the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in  
fuel tank or storage container. Always follow mix ratio found on stabilizer  
container. Run engine at least 10 min. after adding stabilizer to allow it to reach  
the carburetor.
