Step 12.
Adjustment
For most lawns, adjust the thatcher as follows:
1. Select a smooth flat surface such as a driveway,
sidewalk, garage floor, etc. Attach the thatcher to
the tractor according to the mounting instructions.
Be sure both gauge wheels are directly under the
wheel support.
2. Loosen the four nuts on the sides of the "L"
shaped tray mounting brackets, and the gauge wheel
set screws. Adjust the tine tray to place the tine tips
approximately 1/2" above the flat surface when in
free position and to touch the flat surface when pushed
back.
3. Tighten all nuts and gauge wheels set screws.
32
Remove existing mower deck
mounting pin from front of tractor.
Assemble the Large or Small rod
depending on whether tractor is
a Simplicity or Snapper. Secure
using retaining ring previously
removed.

!
OPERATION
Tine ACTION- Grass should be less than 3" tall for proper
tine action.
When in use, all tines on the De-thatcher should deflect
back and "flip" the thatch forward as shown in illustraion.
If the tines seem to drag without flipping forward, the tine
tray is too low and should be raised.
If all the tines stay in the free position, the tray should be
lowered.
Make adjustments as necessary, up or down, by no more
than 1/4" each time, until proper results are achieved.
!
MAINTENANCE
The key to years of trouble-free service is to keep your
Sweeper clean and dry.
Occasionally check all moving parts for free movement and,
if necessary, lubricate with oil.
Should rust develop, sand lightly and then paint area with
enamel.
Periodically check all fasteners for tightness.
