OPERATION
Leveling the SR1 for Operations:
1. With the SR1 attached to the Skid Steer, and the scarifier depth set for use; transport
the SR1 to an area where the unit will be used. See section “Setting the Scarifier Depth:”
below for manually setting the depth of the scarifiers on the SR1.
2. Using the boom of the Skid Steer lower the SR1 down until the SR1 rest on the ground.
3. With the SR1 firmly touching the ground, tilt the SR1 forward while slowly backing up
with the Skid Steer until the finish rake of the SR1 touches the ground and the rake is at a
20 to 30-degree angle (depending on soil consistency).
Setting the Scarifier Depth:
The scarifiers on the SR1 will come pinned above the receiver tube using a
½
” bent pin
and
¼
” lynch pin. The scarifiers will need to be adjusted prior to use. The following
directions are for adjusting the scarifiers for use:
1.
With the SR1 attached to the Skid Steer and level for operation, raise the SR1 off
the ground 6”-7”.
2.
Set the parking brake, shut off the engine and exit the Skid Steer.
3.
Remove the lynch pin from the bent pin and move the scarifier down in the
receiver tube until the hole in the shank of the scarifier lines up to the first hole of
the receiver tube.
4.
With the holes lined up, insert the bent pin and secure with the lynch pin. Repeat
this process for the remaining scarifiers to be adjusted. The depth that SR1 will
work the ground is controlled by the position of the scarifiers in the receiver slot.
5.
Move the scarifiers down as need to work the ground deeper or raise the
scarifiers as needed to work the ground less. *Below is information on checking
the depth of the scarifiers to ensure they are operating at the proper depth. *
Transport the SR1 to an area where the attachment will be used.
6.
Using the Skid Steer boom lower the SR1 down until the scarifiers touch the
ground.
7.
Slowly back up the Skid Steer while lowering the SR until the finish rake of the
SR1 touch the ground and is setting at a 20 to 30-degree angle. Adjust the angle
until you have a smooth flow of soil through the finish rake. This again will depend
on the type of soil.
8.
With the finish rake of the SR1 touching the ground, continue to back up 4-5’ to
ensure the full depth of the scarifiers is reached.
9.
Stop the Skid Steer, set the parking brake, shut off the engine and exit the Skid
Steer.
10.
Check to make sure the desired working depth for the scarifiers is being reached.
If the depth of the scarifiers is too deep/shallow, adjust the depth of the scarifiers
and repeat steps 5-10 of this section till the proper depth is reached. Make sure to
check the depth of the scarifiers after every adjustment.
