    WARNING Frequently check the rotor blades. Verify that all the tips are in good condition. Ensure that the blades are firmly held and there is no slack due to damaged or worn spacers. Transport Safety When transporting the unit it is very important to; •...

  • Page 14: Controls

    4. Controls Please refer to the illustrations. All directions are given with reference to standing behind the handles and facing in the direction of forward travel. Motion Control Handles These handles (1639) control forward motion of the Verticutter, as well as allowing you to steer the machine left and right.

  • Page 15: Lifting/Lowering Controls

    4.4 Lifting/Lowering Controls The Lifting/Lowering Handle lowers and raises the blade housing. The blades should be engaged before lowering them into the turf to avoid undue stress to the rotor belts and engine. To operate just push this lever forward to lower the blade housing into the turf. This should be done gently to allow the blades to 'dig' their way into the turf.

  • Page 16: Throttle Lever

    4.5 Throttle Lever Controls rpm of the engine. Moving the lever upwards decreases the engine speed. Moving it downwards increases engine speed. All the way up is the engine idle position. Verticutting should be carried out at a high engine speed to give high tip speed and a better cut.

  • Page 17: Speed Gauge

    4.10 Speed Gauge When using the sand injection feature of the machine the speed control adjuster (1489), located on the control panel, will need to be used to maintain a constant forward speed to ensure even sand distribution. The adjuster can be screwed in or out to adjust the speed, then the speed gauge bracket (1463) must be turned around to lock the forward speed until you have finished your pass.

  • Page 18: Operating Instructions

    5. Operating Instructions WARNING Do not operate the Verticutter until you have completely read this manual. Preliminary Checks 1. Clear any debris from above and underneath the machine 2. Ensure scheduled maintenance activities have been completed. 3. Inspect belts for condition and correct tension. 4.

  • Page 19: Driving (Traversing) The Verticutter

    Driving (Traversing) the Verticutter 1. Put the neutral lever (left side of machine) to the DRIVE position (lever pulled out of the base). 2. Use the motion control handles to move in the desired direction. Push the handle downwards to move forward; to reverse use the reverse lever.

  • Page 20: Sand Injection Verticutting

    Sand Injection Verticutting 1. If you wish to sand inject whilst Verticutting, you will need to fill the hopper with kiln-dried sand before starting the pass. It is advisable not to attempt to sand inject in wet weather, as even the smallest amount of rain will make the dried sand block up the injection tubes, resulting in uneven and inconsistent sand levels in the grooves.

  • Page 21: Shut Down

    Shut Down 1. Disengage blades. 2. Raise blades out of turf. 3. Traverse machine to storage/maintenance area. 4. Turn engine speed to idle, allow to run for 10 seconds. 5. Turn ignition switch to OFF. 6. Clear rotor blades of any debris. 7.

  • Page 22: Maintenance Operations

    6. Maintenance Operations The performance of certain maintenance, adjustment or repair operations will be determined by the owner’s facilities. Tilting of the machine for the purpose of under-deck servicing should be avoided. If the Verticutter is tilted forward (i.e pivoting over the front axle) there is a risk that engine oil can enter the cylinder head of the engine.

  • Page 23: Rotor Relay Belts

    There is also adjustment to allow movement of the distributor tray either left or right to correct any misalignment of the injection tubes with the blade grooves. If you find that the injection tubes do not seem to be lining up perfectly with the blades, then you can adjust the tubes by releasing the four mounting nuts on the distributor tray bracket, which should allow you to move the distributor tray and sand injection tubes into line with the blades, then...

  • Page 24: Rotor Belts

    6.1.3 Rotor Belts These two belts (5325) are under the rotor belt cover. They are tensioned via an idler pulley mounted to an idler arm, which can be adjusted without removing the cover. Loosen the locking nut on the idler adjuster (0424) and then tighten the adjusting nut until sufficient tension has been achieved.

  • Page 25: Belts Replacement

    Undo the bolts holding the bearings (5319) at each end of the blade reel. Undo the grub screws holding the left hand bearing (the auger belt end) to the shaft and allow the left bearing to slide along the rotor shaft to provide some free movement, then gently allow the blade reel to drop free from the machine.

  • Page 26: Rotor Relay Belts

    6.2.2.1 Rotor Belts Remove pivot wheel arm (1052) and rotor belt guard (1168). Loosen the belt tension by releasing tension from the idler pulley (5314). Remove rotor belts (5325) by easing them off the pulleys (5316 & 1033). Fit new belts. Re-tension belts by tightening up the idler pulley, ensure you lock the idler arm in place again by tightening the locking nut.

  • Page 27: Auger Drive Belt

    6.2.2.5 Auger Drive Belt Remove the auger belt cover (1353). Take all tension off the belt by loosening the idler pulley bolt and pushing the pulley (0610) to the bottom of the slot. Remove the belt and replace. Re-tension the belt and re-fit the cover. Engine Maintenance Maintenance on the engine should be carried out as per the manufacturer’s owner’s manual supplied with this machine.
