TRACTOR REQUIREMENTS AND PREPA R ATION

The PLR Series landscape rakes and PBX-42 box scraper are designed for small lawn/garden tractors and ATV units equipped with a rear pull type hitch.

For the different width landscape rake units, we recom- mend the following minimum size lawn/garden tractor:

Rake	Min. Tractor H.P.
PLR-48	10-12 H.P.
PLR-60	12-15 H.P.
PLR-72	15-18 H.P.

For the PBX-42 box scrapers, we recommend a 12-15 hp tractor.

ATV units need to have a low gear and be of sufficient size (see the chart above for tractors and use a conver- sion of 12 cc engine size equals 1 hp).

Small tractors may need wheel weights to have enough traction.

CAUTION!

Be sure tractor or ATV is in good condition. Read all the safety precautions and make sure all operators are familiar with the safety rules of operation.

The landscape rake is usually shipped as two bundles:

1.Main Frame

2.Rake Tine Bar Assembly (teeth installed). The box scraper is shipped as welded assembly.

Check the exploded view of the landscape rake or box scraper in this manual to get an idea of the relationship between the parts.

The two main subassemblies of the landscape rake are heavy and awkward to handle. It is recommended that you have one or two helpers to complete the assembly.

It is suggested that you hook the clevis hitch of the main frame to your tractor before assembling. If this in not possible, block the hitch off the ground 5-6 inches.

Slide the landscape rake tinebar assembly under the main frame. Raise the front of the tinebar and block below the angle tinebar. Insert the 1” x 4” hex head bolt into the bottom of the center angle adjustment plate on the tinebar and then through the 1” diameter hole in the main frame. (Threaded end up). Place a 1” flat washer on the bolt and then install the 1” nylock hex nut. Tighten this nut until it is just lightly snug – you want to be able to angle the tinebar but have a minimum amount of looseness.

To assemble the box scraper weldment, slide the box scraper under the main frame and install the 1” hex head bolt as described above for the landscape rake tinebar. Then install the two 1/2” hex head bolts into the rear of the main frame circle plate and the mounting bracket on the box scraper. Tighten all bolts on the box scraper attachment.

On the landscape rake, set the desired angle of the tinebar assembly and install the angle shift pin.

The operating height of the landscape rake and the box scraper is set by the turnbuckle adjustment. If the unit is on a flat level surface (concrete slab) you can set the depth of operation by raising the wheels off the surface. It is recommended that changes in operating depth be kept small. After operating the attachment a few times, you will get to know how much change your power unit can handle.

Tie one end of the pull rope to the upper end of the lift handle. The other end of the rope should be lightly tied to your tractor or ATV.

For instruction reference, the terms front or rear are based on the operator facing forward on the tractor, thus front is toward the front of the tractor and the rear is to the rear of the tractor.

It is suggested that all the instructions be read before beginning assembly.
