Operation and adjustments
Regular removal of thatch is critical to maintenance of a healthy lawn. Thatch is a layer of stems, clip-
pings, runners, roots and leaves that have not decayed. Excessive thatch prevents air, water and fertil-
izer from reaching the roots. The scarifier effectively dislodges excessive thatch from your lawn. Read
these instructions to help avoid improper adjustment and operation.
Proper adjustment of the tine shield and spring tines is important for effective performance. Refer to
the following steps for the proper adjustment before operating the scarifier.
1. Move the towing vehicle onto a level surface,
such as a driveway or garage floor and attach the
tine scarifier to the vehicle hitch.
2. To adjust the spring tine shield, lower the scari-
fier into operating position using the lift handle (2).
Loosen the two hex nuts and carriage bolts (1)
which fasten the rear of the hitch mount arm to
the hitch arm mount brackets. djust the tin shield
until it is level and both the front and rear spring
tines are in contact with the ground. Re-tighten
the hex nuts.

3. If the scarifier appears to be “jumping” during
use, then extra weight should be added to the tine
shield. In most conditions extra weight will be
needed. Concrete patio blocks are recommended
for weight because of their low profile; however
any type of weight is suitable if it can be tied
down to the shield. Secure weight by using suit-
able binding material such as rubber tie down
straps or wire, fastening to the holes in the shield
flange.
Maintenance
1. Before each use check all nuts and bolts for tightness.
2. Lubricate wheels as needed.
3. If rust appears on the shield or spring tines, sand lightly and coat with enamel paint.
4. lways store in a dry area, and coat exposed metal with light oil when not in use.
