*Note   for   Step   5   –   Due   to   3   point   hook   ups   on   some   models   of   tractors,   it   may   be   necessary   to   move   the   tires   on   the   

TR3   forward   or   back   a   hole   to   properly   adjust   the   TR3.   If   you   are   not   able   to   adjust   the   TR3   so   that   the   Leveling   Blade   and   Finish   
Rake   touch   at   the   same   time   try   moving   the   wheel   forward   one   hole   and   then   repeat   Step   5.   For   further   assistance   on   setup   of   
the   TR3   contact   our   Customer   Service   Department   at   855-­‐211-­‐0598.   

   

SETTING   SCARIFIERS   FOR   USE:   

Before   setting   the   Scarifier’s   for   use   in   an   Arena,   check   the   level   of   footing   throughout   the   Arena.   If   the   

footing   height   varies   throughout   the   Arena,   it   may   need   to   be   leveled,   using   the   TR3;   before   using   the   Scarifier’s.   
For   assistance   with   leveling   the   Arena,   read   section   “Leveling   an   Arena”   below.      

   

      

   

To   move   the   Scarifiers   up   and   down,   raise   the   

TR3   off   the   Ground.   Then   remove   the   ¼”   Lynch   pin   from   
the   ½”   Bent   pin,   remove   the   ½”   Bent   pin.   Next,   move   the   
Scarifier   up   or   down   until   the   holes   realign   at   the   depth   
desired,   and   reinsert   the   ½”   Bent   pin.   Secure   the   ½”   Bent   
pin   by   putting   back   in   the   ¼”   Lynch   pin.   

When   the   Scarifiers   are   pinned   in   the   2

nd

   hole   

from   the   top   on   the   Scarifier   tube,   the   Scarifier’s   will   be   
set   to   rip   at   about   2   ½”-­‐3”.   Adjust   the   Scarifiers   up   or   
down   for   more   or   less   depth,   as   needed   for   use.         

   

   

IF   THE   LEVELING   BLADE   IS   CARRYING   TOO   MUCH   MATERIAL:   

1.

 

Adjust   Top   Link   out   to   lift   the   Leveling   Blade   up   more.   This   will   put   more   downward   pressure   on   the   Finish   
Rake   if   this   adjustment   is   made.   If   the   problem   continues   please   contact   the   ABI   Customer   Service   
Department   for   additional   setup   advice.   

   

TO   CARRY   MORE   MATERIAL:   

1.

 

Draw   in   the   Top   Link   on   the   TR3.   This   puts   more   weight   on   the   Leveling   Blade   allowing   the   Leveling   Blade   
to   move   more   material.   Doing   this   will   lift   the   Finish   rake   up   so   it   will   not   be   touching   ground   while   
grooming.
