FIRST USE IN YOUR ARENA

We have developed an excellent arena pattern for you to follow for the first few time you use your 

Riata or when ever you use the optional scarifiers for maintaining your arena. 

Note: Scarifiers 

should be used without the tines in the ground

—this will reduce the work for your tractor and 

provide a superior maintenance.  If you are using the scarifiers for periodic maintenance it is strong-

ly recommended that you plan to complete this pattern at lease three full patterns.  This will provide 

consistency and remove any grooves or ridges. Always run Riata Rake without the scarifiers follow-

ing your maintenance.
