Operating (Optional) Verticutter

Around Greens and Teeboxes:

IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! When making turns, always raise the aeration head and verticutter first before turning.

• Survey the green and remove all debris before verticutting.
• Plan your direction to minimize turning and maneuvering around hazards at the end of a pass.
• Make the initial pass across the center of the green and work your way to the outside.
• Maintain consistent spacing while verticutting a green by selecting a marking reference before starting.
• Do not make sharp turns. Raise verticutter and aeration head out of ground to turn at the end of pass.

General Operating Practice

• It is possible to use the verticutter attachment while aerating. Then maximum depth is shallower than using the verticutter alone.
• Lower travel speeds and wider blade spacing allow for deeper verticutting while aerating.
• If engine begins to labor or slow down when operating the machine in hard soil or going uphill, raise the verticutter blades using depth adjustment handles.
• Wait to verticut if the soil is too hard and compacted. Verticut after rain or watering to achieve best results.
