ADJUST THE OPERATING HEIGHT of LIFT ARMS

NOTE: Adjustments may be needed based on the height of the towing vehicle hitch.

Step 10: Attach the Acreage Rake to the towing vehicle hitch.

Follow Steps 11,12, and 13 for each lift arm.

These steps are to make sure rake reel tines will: (1) lift high enough for towing clearance, and (2) rake tines will reach the ground properly for raking or de-thatching.

Step 11: Position one lift handle fully forward. The handle should position itself in the most forward notch on the lift handle. (See figure 11). Now check that the rake tines are high enough off the ground for towing clearance when rake assembly is not in use.

If handle is fully forward and the rake tines are not lifting high enough off ground for clearance when towing, go to next step for needed adjustment.

STEP 12: Remove diameter 6mm x 25mm clevis pin (from STEP 6) and rotate clevis in either direction to achieve the desired stopping position or lifting height. Reinstall Clevis Pins when finished. See figure 12.

Step 13: Move lift handle to the rear position on lift assembly. This is the operating/down position for the rake tine wheels. The cable should have little slack in it when in operating position. See figure 13. If cable does not have slack when lift handle is in back notch of lift assembly, adjustment is needed. Remove diameter 6mm x 25mm clevis pin and rotate clevis until there is slack in lifting cable. No adjustment needed after this step. NOTE: This step allows the rake tine wheel assembly to float when being used on uneven ground. It is ok if the lift handle does not go all the way to most forward notch after this step.
