Recommended Height Adjustments
Raking Assembly Height
When using the Turf Rake with its raking (flail) blade
assembly adjust the raking height as follows.
Normal height is set by placing the Turf Rake on a
hard surface making sure one satellite shaft is at
dead bottom. Adjust the wheels so the raking fingers
on the bottom shaft just touch the ground. DO NOT
set the fingers so that they will penetrate the ground
as this will counteract the centrifugal force of the
fingers and prevent the from raking properly.
With repeated use, raking side of the fingers will
begin to wear. To give the fingers a new square
raking edge, remove the end plates and turn the
entire main shaft assembly 180° and replace it on
the Turf Rake. NOTE: Use Pro-Lock (retaining 1,
medium strength) on the 7” pulley on the
main shaft.
To prolong the life of the main shaft, extra holes are
provided. If the circular holes holding the satellite
shafts become distorted, rotate all four satellite
shafts to the next set of holes.
When using the Turf Rake with it’s raking (spring
tine) assembly, adjust the raking height as follows:
Normal height is set by placing the Turf rake on a
hard surface. Adjust the wheels so the spring blades
just barely touch or are slightly above the ground.
DO NOT set the spring blades so that they penetrate
the ground. Doing this will cause premature damage
to the spring blades.
Seeding / Multipurpose Blade Assembly Height
The seeding/multipurpose blades are used for cutting
grooves for over-seeding and can also be used
for verticutting grasses. To set the height properly
place unit on the lawn surface and adjust the wheel
height up (see Fig. 4 ). Adjusting the wheel height up
lowers the blades.
Seeding:
The proper height setting for over-seeding is
approximately 1/4” into the ground. Adjust the wheel
height up approximately one notch. If
set deeper, grass seed being applied may not
germinate.
For best results, over-seed in two passes of 1/2
application rate at right angles or in a criss-cross
pattern. Water heavily immediately after seeding
then lightly for 10-14 days keeping soil moist.
Slicing
The proper height setting for slicing or aerating is 1/2”
to 3/4” into the ground. Adjust the wheel height up
one or two notches.
For crawling grasses such as Zoysia, Bermuda,
Bahia, etc. raise the wheels only one notch. Crawling
grasses should not be sliced too deeply.
For single strand grasses like Bluegrass or Rye,
rake/seed in perpendicular directions for more even
slicing. For example, slice in a North-South direction
on the first pass, switching to an
East-West direction on the second pass.
As the seeder/multipurpose blades wear they
may be rotated to provide a new cutting edge.
The wheels may be raised to allow the blades to
penetrate deeper into the ground.
FIGURE 4

Slicer Blade Assembly Height
The slicer blade assembly is recommended for
slicing, verticutting or aerating when a thinner blade
is preferred. This is the recommended blade for use
on golf course greens. To set the height properly
place unit on the lawn surface and adjust the wheel
height up (see Fig. 4). Adjusting the wheel height up
lowers the blades.
The proper height setting for slicing or aerating is 1/2”
to 3/4” into the ground. Adjust the wheel height up
one or two notches.
For crawling grasses such as Zoysia, Bermuda,
Bahia, etc. Raise the wheels only one notch.
Crawling grasses should not be sliced too deeply.
For single strand grasses like Bluegrass or Rye,
rake/seed in perpendicular directions for more even
slicing. For example, slice in a North-South direction
on the first pass, switching to an
East-West direction on the second pass.
As the slicer blades wear they may be rotated to
provide a new cutting edge. The wheels may be
raised to allow the blades to penetrate deeper into
the ground.
