EN ISO 5395 and ANSI B71.4:2017. General Safety This product is capable of amputating hands and feet. Always follow all safety instructions to avoid serious personal injury. • Read and understand the contents of this Operator’s Manual before starting the machine. • Use your full attention while operating the machine. Do not engage in any activity that causes distractions; otherwise, injury or property damage may occur. • Do not put your hands or feet near moving components of the machine. • Do not operate the machine without all guards and other safety protective devices in place and functioning properly on the machine. • Keep clear of any discharge opening. • Keep bystanders and children out of the operating area. Never allow children to operate the machine. • Before you leave the operator’s position, do the following: – Park the machine on a level surface. – Lower the cutting unit(s). – Disengage the drives. – Engage the parking brake (if equipped). – Shut off the engine and remove the key (if equipped). – Wait for all movement to stop. Improperly using or maintaining this machine can result in injury. To reduce the potential for injury, comply with these safety instructions and always pay attention to the safety-alert symbol , which means Caution, Warning, or Danger—personal safety instruction. Failure to comply with these instructions may result in personal injury or death. Cutting Unit Safety • The cutting unit is only a complete machine when installed on a traction unit. Read the traction unit Operator’s Manual carefully for complete instructions on the safe use of the machine. • Stop the machine, remove the key (if equipped), and wait for all movement to stop before inspecting the attachment after striking an object or if there is an abnormal vibration in the machine. Make all necessary repairs before resuming operation. • Keep all parts in good working condition and all hardware tightened. Replace all worn or damaged decals. • Use only accessories, attachments, and replacement parts approved by Toro. Blade Safety A worn or damaged blade can break, and a piece of the blade could be thrown toward you or bystanders, resulting in serious personal injury or death. • Inspect the blade periodically for wear or damage. • Use care when checking the blades. Wrap the blades or wear gloves, and use caution when servicing the blades. Only replace or sharpen the blades; never straighten or weld them. • On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating 1 blade can cause other blades to rotate. Safety and Instructional Decals Safety decals and instructions are easily visible to the operator and are located near any area of potential danger. Replace any decal that is damaged or missing. decal137-9706 137-9706 1.

Note: Torque the screws to 16 to 20 N-m (12 to 15 ft-lb). 3 Installing the Hoop Link, Offset Link, or Chain Link No Parts Required Procedure For dethatching units that will be mounted on a traction unit with a serial number prior to 240000001, the proper lift link must be obtained and installed. The 2 capscrews used to mount the hoop, offset, or chain link are installed on the dethatching unit. Remove these screws and use them to install your required link. • A hoop link (Part No. 105-5740) as shown in Figure 5 is required for the Greensmaster 3000, 3000-D, 3050, 3100, 3150, and 3150-Q traction units (it is supplied with the above Greensmaster traction units). 1. Install the hoop link to the top of the dethatching unit with 2 capscrews. 2. Torque the capscrews to 34 to 40 N∙m (25 to 30 ft-lb). g011931 Figure 5 1. Hoop link • An offset link (Part No. 110-2397) is required for the Greensmaster 3250-D traction units (it is supplied with the Greensmaster 3250-D traction unit). 1. Position the lift hook offset toward the front of the dethatching unit. 2. Install the offset link (Figure 6) to the top of the dethatching unit with 2 capscrews. 3. Torque the capscrews to 34 to 40 N∙m (25 to 30 ft-lb). g008414 Figure 6 1. Offset lift hook • A chain link (Part No. 106-2601) and a mounting bracket (Part No. 105-5738) may also be used on the Greensmaster 3250-D traction unit. 1. Install the chain link to the top of the dethatching unit with the mounting bracket and 2 capscrews. 2. Torque the capscrews to 34 to 40 N∙m (25 to 30 ft-lb) (Figure 7). Note: When mounting the dethatching unit to the traction unit, hook the wider end of the chain link to the lift arm. 5

for Positive Setting (Above Ground) No Parts Required Procedure 1. Place the dethatching unit on a level surface. 2. Place a gauge bar, which has the desired height of blade above ground, under each end of the dethatching unit (Figure 8). g016698 Figure 8 1. Gauge bar 3. With the rear roller contacting the level surface, loosen both height-of-cut nuts. 4. Rotate the height-of-cut until both ends of the front roller contact the level surface. 5. Verify contact by using a piece of paper to check each roller end. 6. Tighten both height-of-cut knob locknuts. 5 Adjusting the Reel Blades For Negative Setting (Below Ground) No Parts Required Procedure Note: Maximum recommended negative setting is 5 mm (3/16 inch) deep blade penetration. 1. Place the dethatching unit on a level surface. 2. Place 4 gauge bars, set to the desired depth of blade penetration below ground, under the front roller and rear roller of the dethatching unit (Figure 9). g016696 Figure 9 1. Gauge bar 3. With the rear roller contacting the level surface, loosen both height-of-cut nuts. 4. Rotate the height-of-cut until both ends of the front roller contact the level surface. 5. Verify contact by using a piece of paper to check each roller end. 6

6 Installing the Dethatching Unit No Parts Required Important: If you set the dethatching reel at a negative setting, take care to prevent damaging the reel blades, due to contact with concrete floors or paved surfaces. Note: The dethatching unit comes configured for left-hand drive from the factory. It may need to be configured for a right-hand drive. Refer to 2 Repositioning the Counterweights (page 4). 7

and 3150-Q traction units. Height of cut Dethatching depth is adjusted on the front roller by 2 vertical screws and held by 2 locking capscrews Height-of-cut range Bench HOC range is 4.78 mm (0.188 inch) below ground level to 6.35 mm (0.250 inch) above ground level. Reel bearings Two sealed stainless steel deep groove ball bearings, 30 mm inside diameter slip fit onto reel shaft retained by internally splined threaded drive insert. Additional inboard seal / slinger along with sealed external bearing housing for added protection. Reel position is maintained by a wave washer with no adjusting nut. Rollers The rear roller is a 5.1 cm (2 inch) diameter steel full roller. Grass shield Non-adjustable shield with adjustable cutoff bar to improve grass discharge from reel in wet conditions Counterweight A cast iron weight mounted opposite to the drive motor balances the dethatching unit. Net weight 31 kg (68 lb) Attachments/Accessories A selection of Toro approved attachments and accessories is available for use with the machine to enhance and expand its capabilities. Contact your Authorized Service Dealer or authorized Toro distributor or go to www.Toro.com for a list of all approved attachments and accessories. To ensure optimum performance and continued safety certification of the machine, use only genuine Toro replacement parts and accessories. Replacement parts and accessories made by other manufacturers could be dangerous, and such use could void the product warranty. Operation Training Period Before operating the dethatching unit on a green, evaluate the performance of the dethatching unit at the desired setting. Operate in a clear, unused area to determine if the desired results will be achieved. Adjust the dethatching unit when changing settings as desired. Note: When the dethatching units are mounted on Greensmaster 3200, 3200-D or 3250-D traction units and are operated under heavy loads, you may need to adjust the carrier frame and unit circuit relief valve. Operating Tips • Operate the traction unit at full throttle, varying the ground speed to meet dethatching loads. • The maximum recommended negative setting on the dethatching blades is 5 mm (3/16 inch) deep penetration. • The power requirements to operate the dethatching unit will vary with turf and soil conditions. • The travel speed may need to be reduced in some conditions. 8
