Introduction to the 36" Budget Grass Slitter
The SCH BS Slitter is an essential tool designed to improve your lawn's drainage and enhance air penetration to the roots by breaking down the surface pan of the grass. Its use throughout the year can greatly benefit lawn health. Here’s a simple guide on how to correctly set up and use this device.
Setup Procedure for SCH BS Slitter
Positioning the Tool Carrier
Place the roller/tool carrier in the upright position to prepare for the slitter attachment.
Inserting the Slitter
Carefully insert the slitter into the two uprights of the roller/tool carrier.
Securing the Attachment
Lift up the tow bar so that it is pointing upwards. Place one foot on the angle of the weight tray and pull the roller/tool carrier into the reverse position, where the roller faces upwards. Securely hitch the roller/tool carrier to the tractor.
Operation Guidelines for SCH BS Slitter
Movement and Speed
Operate the tractor at a brisk walking pace to allow efficient slitting. If you notice the unit beginning to bounce, reduce your speed to maintain stability and effectiveness.
Maintenance Tips for SCH BS Slitter
Post-Use Care
Always wash the slitter after use to prevent the buildup of dirt and grass clippings, which can affect performance. Regularly oil the shafts to ensure the durability and efficiency of the slitter.
Important Points to Consider
Water Ballasting
Do not fill the roller more than half full with water. Adequate penetration is imperative, but overloading can hinder performance. If you're unable to achieve the desired penetration, it may be beneficial to wait until the lawn conditions are more favorable, such as after rainfall.
Conclusion
By properly setting up and employing the SCH BS Slitter as per these guidelines, you can help ensure your lawn remains healthy and well-maintained year-round. Its regular use can significantly alleviate soil compaction, thereby enhancing the overall health of your grass.
