4. Check the oil level. The level should be between
the two notches on the dipstick.
5. If hydraulic oil level is low, add HydroTorq XL syn-
thetic hydraulic oil until the proper level is reached.
6. Reinstall the dipstick into the hydraulic oil tank.
Changing Hydraulic Oil & Filter
1. Angle the rotor assembly so the left side is angled
back toward the power unit.
1. Park the power rake on a level surface and
detach from the power unit.
2. Lower the rotor on the power rake until the rear
of the hydraulic oil tank is slightly higher than the
front of the tank.
3.
Place a drain pan of sufficient size under the tee
fitting in the front of the tank.
4. Remove the cap (A) from the end of the tee
fitting to drain the oil. Using a hoist to lift up the
right side of the power rake will also assist in
draining the oil.
5.
A
After draining the oil, lower the power rake to the
ground and reinstall the cap onto the tee fitting.

6.
Remove the filter (B)
from the power rake.
7.
Wipe the filter mount
-
ing surface with a
clean cloth.
8.
Apply a thin film of
clean oil to the gasket
on the new filter.
9.
Install the new filter.
NOTE: Turn the filter clockwise until the filter
gasket makes contact with the mounting surface.
Tighten 1/2 - 3/4 turn after gasket contact.
10. Remove the dipstick from the hydraulic oil tank
and add HydroTorq XL synthetic hydraulic oil until
the proper level is reached.
11. Reinstall the dipstick into the hydraulic oil tank.
Power Rake Frame Leveling
Variables such as tire size, tire inflation, power unit
hitch height, or hitch arm replacement may require
one to level the main frame of the power rake.
1. Park the power unit and power rake on a level
surface and set the parking brake.
2. Adjust the rotor height until the rotor clears the
surface by approximately 1/2 inch (13 mm).
3. Place the power unit’s primary S.D.L.A. lever in
the float position.
4. Angle the rotor assembly so the left side is
angled forward away from the power unit.
5. Measure from a location on the rotor frame down
to the level surface.
6. Angle the rotor assembly so the left side of the
rotor is angled back toward the power unit.
7. Measure from the same side and location on the
rotor frame down to the level surface. If this mea-
surement is more than 1/8” (3 mm) to 1/4” (6 mm)
different than the first measurement, the main
frame should be leveled.*
8. Adjust the rotor height until the rotor is setting on
the level surface.
9. Loosen the 6) bolts (C) (3 on each side) that
secure the hitch frame to the main frame.
