Assembling the thatch collection bag

The collection bag is delivered in a folded state and must

therefore be assembled before it is mounted on the unit.

2. Clip the protective plastic straps onto the support rod

(Fig. 3).

Mounting the thatch collection bag

1. Lift the thatch bag cover.
2. Push the pins on the collection bag rods into the sockets

found inside the housing (Fig. 4).

3. Release the thatch bag cover so that it holds the

collection bag in position.

Removing and emptying the collection bag

1. Lift the thatch bag cover and take out the thatch

collection bag.

2. Empty the bag's contents into a suitable waste receptacle.

Mount the bag back into position before resuming work.

Operation

Setting the working positions (Using the

tine depth control knob)

NOTE: Before dethatching your lawn, prep the area by mowing

the lawn to a height of approximately 2 in. (5 cm). This will

minimize tine wear and prevent unnecessary motor overload.
The dethatcher has 5 principal position settings:
Setting 0 (+9 mm): Transport position
This position sets the maximum safety spacing between

the tool and the floor.
Setting 1 (+6 mm): Working position
Set this position when working with a new implement.
Settings 2 – 4 (+3 mm, 0 mm, -3 mm, respectively):

Readjustment positions
The working position can be lowered with increased spring tine

wear. The readjusting depth amounts to approximately 3 mm

per setting. Use the millimeter scale readings for fine setting.
NOTE: When the unit is delivered it is in the transport position

(setting 0).

CAUTION!

The unit must be switched off and

disconnected from the power supply before adjusting the

tine settings.
Press the adjustment knob down and turn it to the required

position until it locks in place (the knob will immediately rise

after it is locked into a setting) (Fig. 5).
