Introduction
Product description
The product is a pedestrian-controlled electrical
dethatcher. The product removes thatch from the lawn
and loosens the soil to let air and water into the lawn.
The thatch is collected in a grass catcher or is released
on to the lawn. The product has 2 types of dethatcher
equipment.
Dethatcher equipment
Refer to
To replace the dethatcher equipment on page

Blade tines
The blade tines remove thatch and cut the grass roots
vertically. Use the blade tines on slopes, terraces and in
soils that have a high quantity of clay. The blade tines let
the water go down into the lawn and prevent that water
collects on the surface
(Fig. 19)
Spring tines
The spring tines carefully remove dead grass and thatch
from the lawn with no damage to the grass roots.
(Fig. 20)
