ROCK PICKER 250
Operating Instructions
5. Move the 3 position rotary switch to the Rake position in
order to pick stones. See Figure B.
ONLY THOSE ROCKS ON THE SURFACE CAN BE
PICKED. IF THE ROCKS ARE DUG UP FROM UNDER
THE GROUND, IT WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE
UNIT.
6. To dump the unit, the rake must be fully lowered to the
ground. Then, switch over to the Bucket position. See
Figure B.
WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DUMP IF RAKE IS
IN UPRIGHT POSITION.
7. To use the hydraulic hitch, flip the rotary switch to the Hitch position. Use tractor hydraulics to
position hitch in desired position. See Figure B.
8. The actuation switch is used to keep the bucket form dumping if the rake is too high. The
switch is set to allow flow of the hydraulic system if it is activated by the rake. This allows the
bucket to rise for dumping. If this does not occur then the switch must be reset so not to let
the bucket rise if the switch isn ’ t activated. This means the rake must be in the lowest
position prior to the bucket going up to dump.
NOTE: After some use
the drive chain may
stretch. Loosen the nuts
and bolts on the motor
mount to adjust the
chain, there should be
½ ” of deflection, then re -
tighten the nuts and
bolts. The same interval
of adjustment applies to
each of the bat springs
(See Figure C).
