OPTIONAL BLADE ASSEMBLIES CHANGING BLADE ASSEMBLIES Within minutes your machine can be converted to a turf rake, turf seeder or turf slicer by purchasing the optional blade assemblies available complete with side plates, bearings and drive pulley. Changing the blade assembly can be done quickly as described below. REPLACING SHAFT ASSEMBLY ONLY If replacing the existing shaft assembly, only follow steps 1 through 3 above. Proceed with the following steps. 1.
Seeding/Multipurpose Height The seeding/multipurpose blades are used for cutting grooves for over-seeding and can also be used for verticutting grasses. To set the height properly place unit on the lawn surface and adjust the wheel height up (see Fig. 4 ). Adjusting the wheel height up lowers the blades. Seeding The proper height setting for over-seeding is approximately 1/4” into the ground. Adjust the wheel height up approximately one notch. If set deeper, grass seed being applied may not germinate.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE TO KEEP THE TRS-20/TSS-20 IN GOOD OPERATING CONDITION, PERFORM THE FOLLOWING: • • • • • • • • When replacement parts are required, use genuine Classen parts or parts with equivalent characteristics including type, strength, and material. Failure to do so may result in product malfunction and possible injury to the operator and/or bystanders. Keep all safety decals legible. Remove all grease, dirt and debris from decals.
CARE FOR HYDRAULIC SYSTEM To keep the hydraulic system in working order, there are a few steps needed to take place. If synthetic oil were used we would suggest a full synthetic oil such as Mobil 1 15W50, Quaker State Full Synthetic 5W50, or a similar oil. Oil viscosity is very important to transmission life. For optimum performance the oil viscosity should maintain a viscosity of 13 cSt [70 SUS]. The minimum oil viscosity to prevent component wear is 9 cSt [55 SUS].
