Cutting Unit - Husqvarna DT22 Operator's Manual

Cutting unit

Depth lever
Use the depth lever to raise and lower the
blades between working and transport
position. When the lever is up, the blades are
in working position. Blades should penetrate
the soil to a depth of 1/8" to 1/4" with a
maximum penetration of 1/2". Check your seed
bag for the manufacture's recommended depth
of application.
Depth knob
The knob is used to adjust the cutting depth of
the blades. Turning the knob counterclockwise
increases the working depth. A shim has been
added at the factory to keep the blades from
penetrating the soil too deeply. As the blades
wear, remove the shim and store below the
depth lock until new blades are added, then
replace the shim in the original position.
Depth lock
The screw under the depth knob is used to lock
the depth knob to prevent it being changed by
machine vibrations. Undo the depth lock by
turning it counterclockwise before turning the
depth knob. Secure the depth knob with the
depth lock after adjusting settings.
Clutch
The clutch tightens the drive belt and engages
the drive for the blades. When the clutch lever
is pressed against the handle, the blades
begin to rotate. Hold the clutch tightly when
working so that the belt does not slide.
