The Dethatcher Kit is very effective for lifting away the excessive matted layers of thatch that can prevent moisture, oxygen and
nutrients from penetrating the soil and can harbor disease and insects. Use in Spring, Summer, and Fall to bring life and color back
to your lawn.
1. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug. Remove the cultivating tines (if so equipped). Refer to exploded view below for
detailed assembly.
2. Slide the Left and Right Dethatcher Assemblies onto the tine shaft making sure the Right Assembly is installed on the right side
and Left Assembly is installed on the left side as defined from the user’s position.
3. Secure dethatcher assemblies using the hairpins (46134).
4. Slide dethatcher shield over the unit’s tine shield from the rear of the unit and secure using bolts (4694), washers (4692), and nuts (4694).
5. Secure the lower part of the dethatcher shield to the drag stake mount using the detent pin (46145). Re-connect spark plug wire.
6. Install wheel extension plate (4676) using additional bolts (46142) and nuts (4650).
NOTe: The drag stake should not be used when using the dethatcher kit.
