Power Rake Angle Adjustment
The power rake may be angled up to 15 degrees left or
right for placing material in a windrow.
With the power rake angle cylinder connected to a
tractor hydraulic control valve, move tractor control
valve to select the desired angle. Return the tractor
control to neutral to maintain the selected angle.
Power Roller
The roller should be level with the ground. To level the
rake from side to side, adjust one of the tractor 3-point
lower lift arms.
The power rake should be level front to back. Level
the rake using the tractor 3-point top link, the 3-point
lift arms, or the gauge wheels.
To allow the roller to penetrate deeper into the ground,
loosen the handle and raise the gauge wheels. To
achieve the opposite, lower the gauge wheels.
Be sure to check the air pressure in each tire regularly
so that an even, consistent grade will be maintained.
Barrier
The normal gap between the roller and barrier for
average conditions is about 1-1/4". This gap can be
adjusted by rotating the barrier and pinning in desired
position. A wider opening will allow more dirt and rock
to pass through, allowing wet soil to dry for final raking.
For finer raking, reduce the gap. (Be careful not to let
roller hit barrier.) The gap should be the same all the
way across. Barrier adjustment is shown in Figure 2
(page 17).
Operating Depth
When power raking, the depth will determine how much
dirt is carried ahead of the roller. The ideal depth will
vary with conditions and can be anywhere from
skimming the surface to about 3 inches deep. See
instructions in
“Power Roller” above to set roller depth.
When making the first windrow, the level of dirt may
be halfway up on the barrier. When moving the
windrow two or three times, the level of the dirt may
be to the top of the barrier. However, try to prevent
material from flowing over the top.
The power rake allows fast raking of large areas of
ground by being able to move windrows several times.
Of course, the volume or density of the material being
raked will dictate how many times a windrow can be
moved.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Read and understand the power rake and tractor
Operator’s Manuals before operating the power rake.
Failure to do so may result in death, serious personal
injury, or property damage.
Never raise the power rake more than a few inches off
the ground when traveling from job site to job site.
Shut off the engine, set brake, remove key, and remove
seat belt before dismounting the tractor.
WARNING
•
Look down and to the rear and make sure
area is clear before operating in reverse.
•
Never direct discharge toward people, animals,
or property.
•
Only engage power when equipment is at
ground operating level. Always disengage
power when equipment is raised off the ground.
Start-Up Sequence
WARNING
•
Only engage power when equipment is at
ground operating level. Always disengage
power when equipment is raised off the
ground.
Before using your new Harley Power Box Rake, the
slip clutch assembly must be in RUN-IN. See
CLUTCH in the maintenance section, page 22, for the
RUN-IN procedure. After you have completed the
RUN-IN of the clutch, return to the operating
instructions and procede with start-up. Failure to run
the clutch in could result in pre-mature drive line failure
and warranty will be voided.
Start tractor engine.
Lower power rake slowly to the ground.
Engage tractor PTO.
Increase engine rpm to give desired rpm at the roller.
Normal operating speed must not exceed 540 rpm. If
operating in heavy rock, reduce the speed slightly.
Move the tractor forward. Select a slow tractor speed
and increase slightly until operation is satisfactory.
Ground Speed
Ground speed should be between 3 mph and 5 mph
under normal conditions. In heavy rock, reduce the
ground speed to 1 mph to 3 mph.
