PUSHING   MATERIAL   BACKWARDS:   

Make   sure   the   material   is   loose   before   attempting   to   push   material   with   the   TR3!   

1.

 

Raise   the   TR3   off   the   Ground   2-­‐3”   and   extend   out   the   Top   Link   until   the   Finish   Rake   is   pressing   on   the   
ground   firmly.   

2.

 

Make   sure   the   scarifiers   are   inserted   in   the   ground   and   not   touching   the   ground.   The   scarifiers   may   need   
to   be   moved   up   to   prevent   them   from   contacting   the   ground   while   pushing   backward   with   the   TR3.   

3.

 

Push   back   slowly.      If   you   are   pushing   back   on   a   hard   pack   surface,   or   area   with   large   rocks;   and   you   go   too   
fast   you   could   damage   the   TR3   or   Tractor.   Use   caution   to   not   hit   large   rocks,   trees,   or   other   objects   that   
may   not   be   movable.   

Use   caution   when   backing   the   TR3   into   areas   with   embedded   objects.   Always   use   caution   when   pushing   
material   backwards   with   the   TR3   

GRADING   A   DRIVEWAY:   

1.

 

Make   sure   the   TR3   is   set   up   in   the   base   position,   or   normal   drag   position.   Next,   make   several   passes   with   
the   Scarifiers   in   play   to   ensure   the   gravel   is   loose.   The   TR3   may   need   to   the   depth   of   the   Scarifier’s   
adjusted   as   passes   are   made   to   remove   potholes   or   washouts   in   the   driveway.      

2.

 

After   loosening   the   gravel,   remove   the   Scarifier’s   from   play   by   pinning   them   above   the   receiver.   Now   
make   a   couple   of   passes   using   just   the   Leveling   Blade   and   the   Finish   Rake.   This   will   grade   and   compact   the   
driveway,   and   remove   all   potholes   and   washouts.   

MAINTENANCE   ON   THE   STABILIZING   WHEELS:   

   

The   stabilizing   wheels   on   the   TR3   should   be   greased   every   3   months.   The   stabilizing   wheels   should   also   be   

greased   before   and   after   any   period   of   storage.      

LEVELING   AN   ARENA:   

If   the   Arena   needs   to   be   leveled   before   the   use   of   the   TR3   for   the   first   time,   or   as   Maintenance   on   the   

Arena   over   time;   Go   to   the   ABI   support   page   (

http://www.abisupport

.com)   

and   watch   the   video   listed   under   

the   TR3   called   “Video-­‐   How   to   Drag   Arena”.   In   this   video   there   are   helpful   patterns   to   use   in   an   Arena   for   leveling   
and   maintaining   the   Arena.   For   leveling   out   an   arena   with   Waves   and   differences   in   footing   heights   check   out   the   
Spinning   Drag   Pattern   located   at   the   7:38   mark   of   the   video.   Please   use   caution   if   the   Arena   has   a   Crown   in   it.   For   
further   assistance   on   leveling   your   Arena   contact   our   Customer   Service   department   at   855-­‐211-­‐0598.
