ADJUSTMENTS
RAKE LIFT CYLINDER
Completely lower Rake Lift. Remove cotter pin (A) and clevis pin (B).
Place attachment lift arms (C) at
1
/
16
" above cross member (D) on
Rake Lift. Loosen jam nut (E). Twist cylinder extension (F) so clevis
pin end of cylinder extension lines up with holes in attachment lift arm.
Replace clevis and cotter pins. Tighten jam nut. Raise and lower Rake
Lift to check for proper clearance.
When the rear rake attachment is lowered while the
machine is in forward motion, the forward speed of
the machine will slow drastically. Operator should be
prepared for a rapid change in speed.
SPEED BOSS
Speed Boss allows the machine to operate at a proper speed while raking sand traps on golf courses. This
speed boss has been factory set at an aver-
age speed of 3-4 m.p.h. (5-6.5 kph). The
Speed Boss will only limit the speed while
the rake is lowered into the operating posi-
tion.
Quick Disconnect Ball Joints (A) are used in
applications where the housing needs to be
easily disconnected from the ball stud. This
is accomplished by pulling back the spring-
loaded outer housing.
The speed setting may be adjusted by turn-
ing the Ball Joint (A) counterclockwise to
make the machine operate slower or turn
clockwise to go faster. Tighten jam nut.
Check to make sure nothing is binding and
test drive to check desired speed.
For RBS System, Spiker and Grader Box
remove the speed boss arm and the speed
boss rod from machine so it does not inter-
fere with other operations.
