Great product so far. Fix the instructions!
This dethatcher did a great job with pulling up the thatch without any issues. Functionally, it's great. The instructions set you up for failure. 1. Instead of having you install the cord holder first like it should, it tells mentions this after you've assembled the whole this. Now I have to disassemble, install cord holder, and reassemble. 2. It tells you that in order to travel with the dethacher you should set the wheels to level "I". This is the lowest level and will cause the splines to make full contact and bend your splines. Level "III" is the setting that it needs to be on in order for the wheels to give the dethacher a lift and minimize spline contact with the floor. So the instructions were backwards with this stuff and I couldn't believe it really. I looked at it back and forth several times just to make sure.
