CONTROL IDENTIFICATION AND FUNCTION

Before operating machine, become familiar withthe controls and general operation of theBedShaper®. Know the location, purpose andoperation of the blade engagement lever, speedcontrol, engine shut off/throttle.

The lift lever is used to raise the blade arm fromthe ground for transport. Pulling the lever towardsthe operator raises the blade arm to the transportposition. The spring-loaded latch keeps the bladein the transport position. Releasing the latch andeasing the lever forward will set the blade in theground.

The operating speed control is used to propel themachine in forward and reverse. See “STARTINGOPERATION” for details.

Section 4OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

ADJUSTING WORKING DEPTH

CautionEngine must be stopped

before adjusting working depth.

Blade depth adjustment is controlled by a gaugewheel (see Photo 4-2). To adjust to a different cut-ting depth, lift blade arm, remove pin on gaugewheel, adjust to desired height. Replace pin.

The height of the BedShaper® can be adjustedfrom 1" to 4.5" (2.5 to 11.4 cm). As a starting point,with the blade resting on a hard surface, adjustthe gauge wheel so it is 2" (5.1 cm) above the hardsurface. Further adjustments can be made toaccommodate the desired performance.

CautionNever operate the machine at transport speed orin reverse with the blade engaged or serious bod-ily injury or machine damage could occur.

TIPS FOR BEST BED SHAPING RESULTS

Blade Life: Conditions will vary, but blade life willbe about 10 hours of operation. Wear will benoticeable on the notches of the blade. Thesharper and deeper the notches, the better thecut. Blade speed and soil conditions affect wear.Replace the blade when worn. Do not attempt tosharpen or recut notches. This may result inoperator injury.

Soil Conditions: Bed shaping will require theleast amount of time, power and blade wear whenthe soil is damp. Pre-wetting the soil may be anoption. The sod will cut cleaner and the remainingsod strip will stay intact for easier cleanup ifdamp.

Pre-Marking: Pre-mark the area to be shaped withmarking paint or lime to ensure a consistentstraight or curved edge. Never use solid objectsor string as markers as these items may bethrown by the blade or wrap around the bladeshaft.

Multiple Passes and Cutting Width: When estab-lishing a new bed or redesigning an existing bed,it is recommended that multiple passes be made.To facilitate removal of sod strips, the passesshould be less than 3" (7.6 cm) in width.Speed: A slow walking pace is good for safe oper-ation and accuracy, while maintaining efficiency.

Buried Hazards: be constantly aware of the pos-sibility of buried hazards. Check with propertyowners about possible hazards before using theBedShaper®. A little time spent investigating anarea may prevent costly mistakes.

Cutting New Beds: First, mark area to show thenew bed outline. Then make first cut approxi-mately 1" (2.5 cm) inside the outer border.Operate unit in counter clockwise direction,widening radius 3" (7.6 cm) in each rotation untildesired bed size is achieved.

Clogging: If clogging occurs, disengage theblade engagement lever. Stop engine, make surethat all moving parts have come to a stop.Disconnect spark plug wire. Raise blade arm liftlever. Remove the two bolts which hold thehinged blade shield in place. Swing shield intoservicing position.

DangerIf unclogging is required, use a dowel or othersuch object to unclog the blade and shield.When finished unclogging, swing shield backinto place and fasten securely with bolts. Checkblade nut to insure it is tight.

DangerNever attempt to operate machine without bladeshield securely fastened.

CautionHot Blade: allow blade to cool before servicing.Blade may be hot enough to cause burns.
