ASSEMBLING THE RAKE
1. Attach the 24 rake tines to the rake pivot assembly using
a 3/8" x 1" hex bolt and 3/8" nylock hex nut for each
tine. Insert the ends of the tines through the slots in the
rear of the rake pivot assembly. Make sure all nuts and
bolts are securely tightened. See fi gure 1.
2. Align the hitch assembly (pointing in direction shown)
and the rake assembly. Place the hitch assembly down
onto the threaded stud on the rake assembly and install
the 1" slotted hex nut onto the threaded stud. Tighten
the nut until it is just snug. See fi gure 2.

assembly will not pivot on the threaded stud, back the
