Section 2: Operating Instructions
Operating Checklist
Hazard control and accident prevention are dependent
upon the awareness, concern, prudence, and proper
training involved in the operation, transport, storage, and
maintenance of the Powered Rake. Therefore, it is
absolutely essential that no one operates the Powered
Rake without first having read, fully understood, and
become totally familiar with the Operator’s Manual. Make
sure the operator has paid particular attention to:
•
Important Safety Information, page 1
•
Section 1: Assembly & Set-up, page 8
•
Section 2: Operating Instructions, page 13
•
Section 3: Adjustments, page 16
•
Section 4: Maintenance & Lubrication, page 19
Before beginning to operate your Powered Rake the
following inspection should be performed.
Make the following inspections after attaching the
Powered Rake to the skid steer. Make certain the rake is
completely stopped before continuing.
1.
Inspect skid steer safety equipment to make sure it is
in good working condition.
2.
Carefully raise and lower implement with the
Powered Rake set at the maximum angle to ensure
that the tires and other equipment on the skid steer
do not contact the rake
3.
Inspect hydraulic hoses for pinch points. Reposition
hoses if needed. For correct hose set-up, see
“Hydraulic Motor Hose Assembly” set-up instructions
on Page 8.
4.
Inspect hydraulic hoses for wear, damage and
hydraulic leaks. See “Avoid High Pressure Fluids
Hazard” on page 3
Replace damaged and worn
hoses with genuine Land Pride parts.

Safety Information
!
DANGER
Hydraulic fluid under high pressure can penetrate the skin.
Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when
working with hydraulic systems. Use a piece of cardboard or
wood rather than hands when searching for hydraulic leaks. If
hydraulic fluid is injected into the skin or eyes, it must be
treated by a doctor familiar with this type of injury within a
few hours or gangrene may result. DO NOT DELAY.
!
DANGER
Do not operate lift controls with someone directly between the
skid steer and Powered Rake or close to the rake.
!
DANGER
Never carry a person on the rake. A rider can fall and be ran
over causing serious injury or death.
!
WARNING
Always shut off all power, disengage auxiliary hydraulics, set
park brake, remove ignition key, and wait for the spiked roller
to come to a complete stop before dismounting from skid steer.
!
WARNING
Do not use rake to lift or carry objects. Lifting and/or carrying
objects can brake the rake
and/or
cause serious bodily injury.
!
WARNING
Do not become entangled in the hydraulic hoses. Tripping
over the hoses while entering or exiting the Skid Steer
operator station can cause serious injury to the body.
!
CAUTION
Keep bystanders at least 20 feet away when operating!
!
CAUTION
Do not rotate front loader hitch plate fully down. Doing so,
can damage hydraulic hoses and cause a high pressure fluid
leaks. Fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin and/or eyes.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow hydraulic motor hoses to
become pinched between rake frame and hitch plate
pivot points. For set-up instructions, see “Hydraulic
Motor Hose Assembly” on page 8.
IMPORTANT: Avoid catching hydraulic hoses on
brush, post, stumps, and other protrusions that
could damage and/or break them.
