3. Secure with 5/8 hitch pin and hairpin
cotter.

circle cotter. This pin will be used
later, when folding the dethatcher for
transport.
5 Adjustments
1. Adjust the height of the dethatcher with
the rake on level, paved ground.
2. Level the dethatcher by adjusting the
shaft collars on each caster assembly. Use
a 5/32” allen wrench to loosen set screws
in shaft collars and adjust each wheel. The
caster may need to be rotated to locate
the set-screw. The top of the rake deck
should be 9 ½” from the ground.
3. When adjusted properly, the tips of the
tines should be approximately ¾” from a
hard surfaced ground. When the
dethatcher is on turf, the tines will engage
the grass and work back and forth lifting
and flicking dead grass and thatch.
