Safe Operating Practices

•Read, understand, and follow all instructions in the

traction unit operator’s manual before operating the

verticutters.

•Read, understand, and follow all instructions in this

operator’s manual before operating verticutters.

•Never allow children to operate the verticutters. Do not

allow adults to operate traction unit or verticutters

without proper instruction. Only trained operators who

have read this manual should operate the verticutters.

•Never operate the verticutters when under the influence

of drugs or alcohol.

•Keep all shields and safety devices in place. If a shield,

safety device or decal is illegible or damaged, repair or

replace it before operation is commenced. Also tighten

any loose nuts, bolts, and screws to ensure the

verticutters are in safe operating condition.

•Always wear substantial shoes. Do not operate

verticutters while wearing sandals, tennis shoes,

sneakers or shorts. Also, do not wear loose fitting

clothing which could get caught in moving parts.

Always wear long pants and substantial shoes. Wearing

safety glasses, safety shoes and a helmet is advisable

and required by some local ordinances and insurance

regulations.

•Remove all debris or other objects that might be picked

up and thrown by the verticutter reel blades. Keep all

bystanders away from the working area.

•If the verticutter blades strike a solid object or the unit

vibrates abnormally, stop and shut the engine off. Check

the verticutters for damaged parts. Repair any damage

before restarting and operating the verticutters.

•Lower the verticutters to the ground and remove key

from ignition switch whenever machine is left

unattended.

•Be sure verticutters are in safe operating condition by

keeping nuts, bolts and screws tight.

•Remove key from ignition switch to prevent accidental

starting of the engine when servicing, adjusting or

storing the machine.

•Perform only those maintenance instructions described

in this manual. If major repairs are ever needed or

assistance is desired, contact an Authorized Toro

Inspection

After the cutting unit is unboxed, inspect the following:

1. Check each end of the reel for grease. Grease should be

visibly evident in the reel bearings and internal splines

of the reel shaft.

2. Ensure that all nuts and bolts are securely tightened.

3. Make sure the carrier frame suspension operates freely

and does not bind when moved back and forth.

Adjusting the Blade Depth

Note: The maximum recommended setting is 1/8 in.

(3 mm) deep blade penetration.

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) (Fig. 3).

Note: The verticutter blades must not touch the gauge bars.

3. Turn the adjusting bolt on each height-of-cut bracket

(Fig. 3) so that the reel blades come in contact with the

level surface on both ends.

Figure 3

1. Gauge bar (1/8”) 2. Adjusting bolt

Note: As the verticutter blades wear, the diameter of the

reel will decrease and the depth setting will change.

Check height setting periodically to insure desired

setting is achieved.

Adjust the Rear Grass Shield

Note: When operating in turf conditions where much

debris is encountered, or unusually heavy thatch, open

the rear discharge shield to help allow the debris to

discharge from the reel.

1. Loosen the capscrews on the pivot of the grass shield

(Fig. 4).

2. Rotate the grass shield to the desired setting and tighten

the capscrews (Fig. 4).

Caution

Adjusting the Roller Scrapers

1. Loosen flange nuts securing roller scrapers (Fig. 5).

2. Move scraper rods in or out to attain 0.0 to 0.03 in.

(.0 to .75mm) clearance between the scraper and roller.

3. Ensure that the scraper rod is parallel to the roller and

the level surface.

4. Tighten flange nuts to lock adjustment.

Adjusting the Transport Rollers

Before the verticutters are lowered to the shop floor or

removed from the traction unit, lower the transport rollers

(Fig. 5) to protect the blades from hard surface contact.

1. Remove the cotter pin securing the transport roller

bracket to the sideplate pin.

2. Position the transport roller as follows:

•Lower the roller bracket before the verticutter is

lowered to the shop floor.

•Raise the roller bracket after the verticutter is raised

to the operating position.

3. Secure the transport roller bracket to the sideplate pin

with the cotter pin.

4. Repeat the procedure on the opposite end of verticutter.

Mount Verticutter Reel

Important When lowering verticutter reels, care

must be taken to prevent damage to the reel blades due

to contact with a concrete floor or a paved surface.

Lower the transport rollers before lowering the

verticuttiers to a concrete floor or a paved surface.

The verticutters can be installed at any of the five locations

on the traction unit. Figure 6 shows the orientation of the

hydraulic drive motor for each of the locations. For any of

the locations requiring the motor to be mounted on the right

end of the verticutters, install a counterweight on the left

end of the verticutters. For the locations requiring the motor

to be mounted on the left end, install a counterweight on

the right end of the verticutters.

Note: Counterweights are shipped installed to the right end

of the verticutters. The capscrews on the left end are to be

used for securing the hydraulic motor.

Verticutter reels are mounted to traction unit the same way

cutting units are. Refer to Traction Unit Operator’s Manual

for mounting instructions.

Important When connecting the lift arm chain to the

veticutter, use the third link from the top instead of the

forth.

Operation

Training Period

Before operating the verticutter reels, evaluate the

performance of the reel at the desired setting. Operate in a

clear, unused area to determine if the desired results will be

achieved. Adjust as desired.

Operating Tips

1. Operate the traction unit at full throttle, full reel speed

(setting 11) and between 3–5 MPH (5–8 Km/h).

2. The maximum recommended setting is 1/8 in. (3 mm)

deep blade penetration.

3. Power requirements to operate the verticutter reels will

vary with turf and soil conditions. Travel speed may

need to be reduced in some conditions.

4. When operating in turf conditions where much debris is

encountered, or unusually heavy thatch, open the front

and rear discharge shields to help allow the debris to

discharge from the reel.

Do not open rear shield so it is higher than level to

ground

Thrown debris could cause personal injury

Caution

Maintenance

Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine

from the normal operating position.

Lubrication

Each cutting unit has (7) grease fittings (Fig. 8) that must

be lubricated regularly with No. 2 General Purpose Lithium

Base Grease.

The lubrication points are front roller (2), rear roller (2),

reel bearing (2) and bedknife adjuster.

Important Lubricating cutting units immediately after

washing helps purge water out of bearings and increases

bearing life.

1. Wipe each grease fitting with a clean rag.

2. Apply grease until clean grease is seen coming out of

roller seals and bearing relief valve.

3. Wipe excess grease away.

Figure 8

1. Relief valve

Adjusting the Reel Bearings

To insure long life of the reel bearings, periodically check if

reel end play exits. The reel bearings can be checked and

adjusted as follows:

1. Hold on to the reel shaft and try to move the reel

assembly side to side (Fig. 9).

Figure 9

1. Reel shaft

2. If end play exists, proceeded as follows:

A. Loosen external set screw securing bearing

adjusting nut to bearing housing located on the left

side of the cutting unit (Fig. 10).

Figure 10

1. Set screw 2. Bearing adjusting nut

B. Using a 1–3/8” socket wrench, slowly tighten the

reel bearing adjustment nut until no end play of the

reel exists. If adjusting nut does not eliminate reel

end play, replace reel bearings.

Note: Reel bearings do not require pre–load. Over

tightening reel bearing adjuster nut will

damage reel bearings.

3. Retighten set screw securing bearing adjusting nut to

bearing housing. Torque set screw to 12–15 in–lbs.

Removing the Verticutter

Blades from the Shaft

1. Secure the end of the verticutter shaft, which has only

one washer and nut, in a vise.

2. On other end of shaft, rotate nut counter–clockwise.

Remove nut.

The blades are extremely sharp and may have

burrs that will cut your hands.

Use caution when removing the blades from the

shaft.

Caution

3. Remove small spacer, washer, blades and large spacers.

Clean and lubricate hex shaft with a light coating of

grease to simplify assembly.

Important Do not invert verticutter reel blades. The

order of disassembly is extremely important. Do not

invert verticutter reel blades when disassembling or

reverse the order when assembling. Note the verticutter

blades index hole. The index hole is provided for

assembly in order to obtain the proper helix for the

verticutter reel.

6. Large spacer (15)

Install Verticutter Blades

1. First, assemble a reel blade (Fig. 11).

2. Next, assemble a large spacer.

3. Do not invert reel blades when reassembling on reel

shaft. If the blades are inverted, the blades that are in

use, (rounded) will be mixed with the sharp ends of the

blades which were not in use. This will cause

unsatisfactory performance in the verticutter reel unit.

Attention should always be taken when disassembling

verticutter blades from reel.

4. Install the next blade clockwise so the index reference

hole (Fig. 12) is not aligned with the first blade hole by

one flat of the shaft. Continue to install spacers and

blades in this manner until the full complement of

blades have been installed. When properly assembled,

the blades will be staggered in such a manner to give a

helix appearance.

Figure 12

1. Index reference hole

5. Install small spacer to shaft.

6. Apply Blue Loctite #242 to nut. Install nut onto shaft,

(machined side of nut toward spacer) and tighten to

80 –100 ft–lb.
