CAUTION
Hydraulic couplers, hydraulic lines/valves,
and hydraulic fluid may be hot. If you contact
hot components, you may be burned.
• Wear gloves when disconnecting the
hydraulic couplers.
• Allow the machine to cool before touching
hydraulic components.
• Do not touch hydraulic fluid spills.
Starting the Power Rake
1.
Start the traction unit.
2.
Lower the power rake to the ground.
Important:
Do not lower the power rake to
the ground with the roller turning; otherwise,
high speed jolts can damage the motor.
3.
Engage the auxiliary hydraulics in the opposite
direction of machine travel.
Roller Rotation
4.
Increase the engine speed to full throttle. If
operating the machine in heavy rock, reduce the
engine speed slightly.
5.
Operate the machine at a ground speed
between 4.8 and 8.0 kph (3 and 5 mph) in
normal conditions; if operating in heavy rock,
reduce the ground speed to 1.6 to 4.8 kph (1
to 3 mph).
Important:
Before changing the roller
direction, stop the machine, disengage the
auxiliary hydraulics, and wait for the roller
to stop.
6.
After raking, stop the traction unit and decrease
the engine speed to half throttle.
7.
Raise the rake and disengage the auxiliary
hydraulics.
8.
Lower the rake to the ground.

Using the End Plates
The end plates contain the material in front of the
roller, while the clean material passes between the
roller and the barrier. With the end plates mounted
in the working (down) position and the rake straight
(parallel with the traction unit track), the material can
be moved, filling in low areas.
To dig deeper, rotate the endplates up.
