Locking the Steering
To lock (fix) the steering on the cutting units, secure
the pivot yoke to the carrier frame with the snapper
pin (Figure 13).

Note:
Fixed steering is recommended when
cutting side hills.
Adjusting the Turf-Compensation
Settings
The turf-compensation spring transfers the weight
from the front to the rear roller. This helps to reduce
a wave pattern in the turf, also known as marcelling
or bobbing.
Important:
Make the spring adjustments with the
cutting unit mounted to the traction unit, pointing
straight ahead and lowered to the shop floor.
1. Make sure that the hairpin cotter is installed in
the rear hole in the spring rod

2. Tighten the hex nuts on the front end of the
spring rod until the compressed length of the
spring is 15.9 cm (6.25 inches)
Note:
When operating the machine on rough
terrain, decrease the spring length by 1.3 cm
(1/2 inch).
Note:
Reset the turf compensation setting if
the HOC setting or the aggressiveness-of-cut
setting changes.

Operating Tips

g015977
1. Operate the traction unit at full throttle, full reel
speed (setting 9) and at desired traction speed.
2. The maximum recommended setting is 6 mm
(1/4 inch) deep blade penetration.
3. Power requirements to operate the verticutter
reels will vary with turf and soil conditions.
Travel speed may need to be reduced in some
conditions.
4. When operating in turf conditions where much
debris is encountered, or unusually heavy
thatch, open the front and rear discharge shields
to help allow the debris to discharge from the
reel.
CAUTION
Thrown debris could cause personal
injury.
Do not open the rear shield so that it is
higher than level to the ground.
