Page 20 ADJUSTING TINE DEPTH Your Riata Rake is equipped with a tine bar array and a single adjustment point (see figure 4 below). One way of determining the depth that is best suited for your arena is to adjust the tine bar by extending the ratchet jack until the tines are in the footing of your arena.
Page 21 The leveling comb is designed to function as a flow control gauge and is adjustable with either the stan- dard top link that came with your Riata Rake or with our Hydraulic Cylinder option (not included). First you will find a fixed or floating control handle directly above the leveling comb.
Page 22 USING RIATA RAKE SCARIFIERS OPTION: The Riata Rake is optionally equipped with scarifiers . Our 1108 Riata Rake option comes with 9 scarifiers (5RR1108A022A). Our 1110 Storage Position Riata Rake option comes with 11 scarifiers (5RR1110A022A).These teeth are used for periodical maintenance.
Page 23 The blade is designed to be level with the footing surface when the Riata Rake mast is vertical. NOTE: be sure to re-level the mast before you condition with the tines after clearing Tighten Wing Bolt your rail.
Page 24 Leveling the frame: Use the top link to set the mast and frame angle. The mast of the Riata Rake should be set at 90 de- grees to the earth in a vertical position. This may vary slightly depending upon arena conditions and during the use of scarifiers.
Page 25 We have developed an excellent arena pattern for you to follow for the first few time you use your Riata or when ever you use the optional scarifiers for maintaining your arena. Note: Scarifiers should be used without the tines in the ground—this will reduce the work for your tractor and provide a superior maintenance.
