Adjusting the Blade Depth

No Parts Required
Procedure
Note: The maximum recommended blade penetration
depths are as follows:
•
Model 03618 is 3 mm (1/8 inch).
•
Model 03619 is 6 mm (1/4 inch).
1. Place the verticutter reel on a level surface.
2. Place 2 gauge bars, which have the desired depth of
blade penetration below the ground, under the front
and rear rollers of the verticutter reel on each end of
the reel (Figure 9).
1. Gauge bars
Note: The verticutter blades must not touch the
gauge bars.
3. Turn the adjusting bolt on each height-of-cut bracket
(Figure 9) so that the reel blades come in contact with
the level surface on both ends.
Note: As the verticutter blades wear, the diameter of
the reel will decrease and the depth setting will change.
Check the depth setting periodically to ensure that the
desired setting is achieved.
