FAQs

What is the purpose of the safety symbols in the manual?

The safety symbols are designed to attract attention to possible dangers. Warnings and instructions do not replace proper accident prevention measures.

How do you recalibrate the “Set by Feel” height of cut adjusters?

Fit a Verticutting cassette, turn the unit upside down, and use a straight edge to set master points so both sides are level and blade tips lightly touch. Then align the stainless grooved gauge steps with the top face of the knurled handgrip and tighten the locking screw carefully.

What should you check before fitting the Thatch-Away units to a greens mower?

Unpack all three boxes and confirm you have the appropriate fitting kit for the specific mower brand. Follow the correct fitting sequence and refer to the listed pages for relevant procedures.
