MAINTENANCE Flail blades Wear/Rotation/Replacing After you have used your dethatcher for some time, the blades will begin to wear on the striking edge. When this happens, their dethatching performance will diminish. A new combing edge may be obtained by rotating the entire rotor shaft assembly laterally (end to end). This procedure can be repeated until the blades reach their wear limit; see illustration. Rotate the rotor shaft as follows: A IMPORTANT INFORMATION Only the flail blade rotor shaft can be rotated to achieve even wear.
