Starting the Power Rake
1.
Start the traction unit engine.
2.
Slowly lower the power rake to the ground.
3.
Engage the hydraulic-control lever for auxiliary
implements.
4.
Move the traction unit forward or backward as
desired.
Note:
For the roller to operate effectively, rotate
it in the opposite direction of the traction-unit
track. The direction of the roller rotation is
controlled by the traction unit hydraulic controls;
refer to

Setting the Barrier Gap
The normal gap between the roller and the barrier for
average conditions is approximately 3.2 cm (1-1/4
inches).
The barrier gap should be the same all the way across.
Set the barrier gap as follows:
•
To widen the barrier gap, loosen the 2 U-bolts (3/8
inch) that hold the barrier mount
Note:
A wider opening will allow more dirt and
rock to pass through.

1. U bolts (3/8 inch)
•
To narrow the barrier gap, tighten the 2 U-bolts
(3/8 inch) that hold the barrier mount
Important:
Ensure that the roller does not hit the
barrier, as the parts could be damaged.
