IMPORTANT
•
If the PTO is too long, severe PTO and gearbox
damage is possible when hooking up the PTO
from the power rake to the tractor. The front
PTO is long enough to fit a variety of tractors.
It is possible that the front PTO will need to
be cut. There will be NO benefit by cutting
only one telescoping section. Both sections of
the PTO must be cut. DO NOT FORCE THE
PTO TO FIT.
•
WARRANTY IS VOID IF THE PTO IS
TOO LONG, resulting in gearbox, PTO, yoke,
or cross bearing damage.
The PTO, when attached to the tractor and gearbox,
must not extend so there is less than five inches of
overlap within the PTO.
Attach the two hydraulic lines on the rake to the two
female hydraulic couplers on the tractor. The hydraulic
hose ends on the power rake are ISO male couplers,
which are compatible with newer tractors.
Raise jackstand and secure in operating position.
IMPORTANT
•
Always clean connector ends prior to attaching.
Dirt could contaminate hydraulic fluid and
damage the hydraulic system.
POWER RAKE FUNCTION
The tractor PTO drives the roller, which digs into the
ground, cultivating and pulling up rocks, roots, and
debris.
The clean soil goes between the roller and barrier,
while the rocks, roots, and debris work to the side in a
windrow.
With the endplates mounted in the working position
and the rake straight (endplates parallel with tractor
tires), material can be moved along, filling in the low
spots.
Maximum safe PTO operating speed is 540 RPM.
