MAINTENANCE AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR

BEST RESULTS

Operating Tip:

Rake works for picking up Acorns or similar small particles other than grass/leaves

RAKE TINE WHEEL MAINTENANCE:

Following these recommendations will make the raking wheels last longer.

1.It is recommended to mow or cut grass to 3” or less before raking or de-thatching.

2.Rake Wheel Tine Recommendation:

When in operating position, try adjusting the height of rake tine wheels so raking tines contact ground lightly. Keep the lifting cable almost tight when operating if possible.

For deep raking or de-thatching, allow raking tines fully down on ground.

3.Rotate rake tine wheels from time to time:

Flip rake tines 180° as in step for raking vs. de-thatching.

Remove rake wheel and fully turn around, then replace rake wheel tine.

This will keep tines from bending in one direction.

Since all grasses are different, you may need to rotate rake wheels more often when used in thicker grasses.
