Make the following inspections after attaching the Powered Rake to the tractor. Make certain the PTO is disengaged and completely stopped before continuing.

1.Inspect tractor safety equipment to make sure it is in good working condition.

2.Carefully raise and lower the implement with the Powered Rake set at the maximum 15 degree angle to ensure that the drawbar, tires, and other equipment on the tractor do not contact the frame or PTO driveline.

3.Check all hoses and wires to be sure that they will not contact PTO driveline. Check PTO guards to make certain they are in good condition and in place.

4.Inspect hydraulic hoses for wear, damage and hydraulic leaks. See “Avoid High Pressure Fluids Hazard” on page 3. Replace damaged and worn hoses with genuine Land Pride parts.

5.Set tractor throttle to idle or slightly above idle and slowly engage the PTO. Once the Powered Rake is running smoothly, increase tractor PTO speed to the rated PTO speed. Stop PTO rotation immediately if vibration occurs. Wait for the PTO to come to a complete stop and then dismount from the tractor to check for probable causes.

IMPORTANT: Do not exceed 540 RPM rated PTO speed. Excessive engine speed will cause damage to the power train components.

Transporting

IMPORTANT: ALWAYS disengage PTO before raising the Powered Rake to transport position.

1.Be sure that the driveline does not contact tractor or Powered Rake when raising the Powered Rake to the transport position.

2.Be sure to reduce tractor ground speed when turning; and to leave enough clearance between the Powered Rake and other obstacles such as buildings, trees or fences to prevent damage from contacting them.

3.Select a safe ground speed when transporting from one area to another. When traveling on roadways, transport in such a way that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely.

4.Shift tractor to a lower gear when traveling over rough or hilly terrain.

!CAUTION

Use accessory lights and other devices for adequate warning to operators of other vehicles when traveling on public roads at all times during the day and night. Comply with all federal, state and local laws.

Operating Instructions

!CAUTION

Keep bystanders at least 20 feet away when operating!

!DANGER

Do not operate the hydraulic 3-point lift controls while someone is directly behind the tractor or near the Powered Rake.

!DANGER

Do not operate the hydraulic cylinder controls while someone is directly behind the tractor or near the Powered Rake.
