The moldboard levels the beach so the tines can penetrate and clean the sand to a constant depth. If the
moldboard is too high on one side, the tines will be forced too deep into the sand. This will result in sand
being removed along with the debris.
At no time should the Barber Surf Rake
®
pick up sand.
HYDRAULIC MOLDBOARD (Option)
The hydraulic moldboard can be powered up or down from the tractor.
When the moldboard is lowered, the life of the conveyor system is maximized. By varying the height of the
moldboard, the depth of cleaning is varied.
CONVEYOR BELT DRIVE COMPONENTS – INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT
MAIN SHAFT
MAIN SHAFT SPROCKETS
Make a visual inspection of the sprockets for wear. If the sprocket tooth is worn
down half of its original width, it should be replaced. There is no adjustment to be made on the sprockets.
MAIN SHAFT BEARINGS
Try and lift the main shaft either with a pry bar or by hand. If there is play or
movement, an adjustment can be made to tighten the bearing.
TO ADJUST THE MAIN SHAFT BEARINGS:
Unscrew machine screw on side of main shaft bearing and
remove retaining ring stop. Turn retaining ring clockwise until there is little or no play. Reinsert the stop and
screw. Do not over-tighten. The drive chain and drive sprocket must be removed to adjust the bearing on the
chain case side. If adjusting does not remove the play from the bearing, it must be replaced.
TO REMOVE THE MAIN SHAFT BEARINGS:
Remove the top shield, side guards, and conveyor belt assemblies.
Remove the chain case cover.
Loosen the motor jam nut and take up bolt.
Loosen the motor mount bolts and slide back the motor to loosen the drive chain.
Remove drive chain.
Remove large drive sprocket.
Loosen the set screws on the cast iron conveyor belt sprocket that is farthest away from the chain case - the
left side.
Clean the paint off of the inner/left side of the main shaft and move the left side cast iron conveyor belt
sprocket toward the center of the main shaft.
Remove the left/outer-retaining ring, which holds the cartridge bearing in its sleeve.
Pull the main shaft away from the chain case so that the left bearing slides out of its sleeve and can be
taken off of the shaft.
Remove the right inner retaining ring and push the cartridge bearing out of its sleeve.
If the cartridge bearing is locked into place, a bearing puller can be purchased to help remove the bearing.
TOP SHAFT
TOP SHAFT SPROCKETS
Make a visual inspection of the sprockets for wear. If the sprocket tooth is worn
down half of its original thickness, the top shaft should be replaced. There is no adjustment to be made on
the sprockets.
TOP SHAFT BEARINGS
The top shaft bearings are take-up bearings. Clean off any debris or excess grease
and visually inspect for wear or damage. Use a pry bar to check for wear pushing on the bar to inspect for
movement. If there is no movement, clean and grease. If the bearings or sprockets are visibly damaged or
have movement, they must be replaced.
TO REMOVE THE TOP SHAFT:
Raise the bucket and secure it with the safety support (545JJCA).
Remove the top shield. Loosen up the six 1/2" wing nuts (518AA) that secure the top shield to the side
shields. The top shield is hinged. Flip up the lower section of the top shield so it rests on the upper section of
the top shield. Remove the top shield assembly by lifting it off the side shields.
