Initial Setup Cont’d
Landscaping Mode
For landscaping, side shields are installed and
material bar set to desired gap with gauge wheels
down.
NOTE:
The side shields contain the material in
front of the rotor while the clean material
passes between rotor and material bar
rubber shield.
NOTE:
There may be times the gauge wheels will
not work for landscaping and must be
raised to storage position. Example: hard
to reach areas, ditch lines and banks,
getting to and back grading the bottom of
ditches.
Job Site Tips / Recommendations
Processing Action
- Processing settings are a
combination of all the
HD series 2 power rake
features.
material bar, side shields, gauge
wheels, rotor
angle, tooth action, machine
adjustments.
Raking Action
- Rake setting is where only the
teeth are either not touching or just touching the
ground. In this setting the operator needs to slow
down and drive straight, blending each and every
raking pass together. In the raking mode there
should be NO material going over the rotor. If so,
the small rock and debris will be left behind and
NOT collected.
NOTE:
Tall grass may take a few days to dry out.
Once the cut grass is
dried the material
can be mulched into the
soil.
1. Check the job site, plan on where to deposit
debris such as rock and unwanted material.
Check for underground obstacles, electrical,
utilities, property line stake, large rocks or
buried concrete or ledge rock.
2.
Start setting grade and removing debris. On
the first pass it is not necessary to do complete
coverage or drive in a straight line (roughing in
job site). It's recommended to have material
side shields up or off on the first pass to
prevent damage to side shields.
3.
In grass or green material, it is recommended
to open up the material bar so material may
flow through the machine. If there's too much
green material you may have to wait for green
material to dry out. After the material drys it will
process more efficiently.
4.
In hard pack soil, after the first pass there may
be hard spots in the job site. This is remedied
by putting the
HD series 2 power rake
into
the tilling
mode and working the hard spots.
5.
Place the
HD series 2 power rake
into
landscape mode.
Set the
HD series 2 power
rake
for a 2” seedbed, with
the material side
shields down, the material bar
set close to
the teeth, this will remove the
smaller rock
and debris. Process the job sight.
If the job
site is not to your satisfaction, repeat
operation.
6.
Final Operation - Set the material bar so it is
almost touching the teeth and the rotor teeth
are either not touching or just touching the
ground. Make sure the side shields are running
level. If not, material will escape under side
shields leaving a windrow of unwanted material
behind. The tooth needs to be in a raking
action not processing action. Raking action will
remove unwanted material leaving behind
processed soil.
NOTE:
On the final operation there should be no
material going over the rotor, if so it will
leave behind unwanted material.
