Section 2: Operating Instructions
Set the working depth and level the rake at the caster
gauge wheels and not with the loader. Normally a 1"
cultivation depth is considered ideal for a surface finish.
Make adjustments to the working depth if too many rocks
or excessive debris pass under the roller by changing the
C-spacers on the gauge wheel spindles. Increase
working depth by moving the spacers from below the
support arms to above the support arms. Decrease
working depth by moving the spacers from above the
gauge wheel support arms to below the support arms.
The Powered Rake should also be set to operate level. It
has a tendency to go in deeper on the driveline side (left
side) because that is the heavy side of the rake.
Compensate for this by changing the C-spacers on the
right gauge wheel so that it is set approximately 1"
deeper than the left gauge wheel.
After you have traveled 50 feet, properly shut down the
skid loader and Powered Rake to inspect the finish and
determine what, if any, additional adjustments need to be
made. Check for any foreign objects that may be
wrapped around the roller or lodged between the studs.
Remember that the right finish is achieved through a
combination of proper soil moisture conditions, operating
depth, ground speed, material control deflector opening
and roller angle. Your Powered Raking capabilities will
improve rapidly with experience.
