1.  FLEXIBLE DRIVE CABLE - Cable end fits into drive shaft coupler of Pro Attachment Series or Split Boom mod-

els. Lubricate drive cable every 25 hours with high temperature automotive grease.

2.  FENDER / WhEEL ASSEMBLy - Consists of pre-assembled wheels, wheel bracket, fender and rubber flap. For 

best results, wheels should be adjusted for 13 mm (0.5 in.) ground clearance and are intended to provide operational 

stability over uneven ground.

3.  FENDER / RUBBER FLAP - Provides operator protection against thrown thatch, rocks and other debris. Always 

insure that fender and flap are in place and in good condition before operating Pro Thatch Attachment.

4.  LOWER DRIVE ShAFT ASSEMBLy - Included separately in the carton and must be assembled to the dethatcher 

/ gear housing assembly. Contains flexible drive cable, outer shaft housing and safety decal.

5.  DEThATChER / GEAR hOUSING ASSEMBLy - Right and left reels pre-assembled to gear housing.

6.  DEThATChER REELS - Dethatcher reels have 22 tines each and are pre-assembled to the gear housing. Reels 

must be installed properly to prevent side pull.

7.  GRASS GUIDE - Attached to the dethatcher assembly / gear housing. The guide prevents tines from penetrating to 

deeply into the ground, which can cause the dethatcher to bounce and give uneven thatch removal.

8.  TINES - Steel springs with 51 mm (2 in.) fingers. Tines are protected by a plastic cover to prevent thatch and dirt 

buildup.
