Tractor Requirements

The Powered Rake is designed with a category 1, 3-point hitch and will fit a Land Pride Cat. 1 Quick-Hitch. The maximum horsepower rating for the tractor is 45 HP depending on lift capacity and field conditions. Front tractor weights and/or ballast to tires may be required to offset weight of unit. Consult your tractor manual for details.

!WARNING

Hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate skin. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood rather than hands when searching for hydraulic leaks. If hydraulic fluid is injected into the skin, it must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor or gangrene may result.

Tractor Hook-Up

!CAUTION

Do not stand between the tractor and implement during hook-up.

1.Be certain that the tractor draw bar will not interfere. Move draw bar ahead or remove if required. Draw bar should also be checked for clearance when unit is being raised for the first time.

2.Align lower link arms of tractor to hitch lugs on Powered Rake. Insert lower hitch pins into lower ball swivels and attach linch pins.

3.Attach tractor top link to upper hitch of Powered Rake. Secure with pin.

4.Connect hydraulic hoses on Powered Rake to the tractor.

Driveline Installation

1.Slide the driveline over the splined shaft at the front of the Powered Rake and secure with the locking device of driveline.

IMPORTANT: The inner shield half attaches to the Powered Rake.

2.Slide the driveline over the tractor’s splined PTO shaft and secure with the locking device of driveline.

3.Hook the safety chain on the driveline Powered Rake end around a tube on the front of the Powered Rake to prevent the shield from rotating.

4.The driveline should now be moved back and forth to insure that it is secure on the PTO shaft of the tractor and Powered Rake drive shaft.

5.Should the driveline require shortening:

a.Hold the half-shafts next to each other in the shortest working position and mark them.

b.Shorten inner and outer guard tubes equally.

c.Shorten inner and outer sliding profiles by the same length as the guard tubes.

d.Proper overlap is a minimum of one-half the length of each tube, with both tubes being of equal length.

e.Round off all sharp edges and remove burrs. Grease sliding profiles.

Prior to initial operation and after long periods of inactivity, the Friction Clutch should be “run-in”. Refer to Figure 1-2.

1.Tighten all 4 nuts uniformly until the spring load is low enough that the clutch slips freely with the PTO engaged.

2.Turn nuts fully back. Clutch is ready for use.
