Gearbox

The gearbox is almost maintenance-free, but should be checked quarterly to be sure that the oil level is main- tained at half full. A high quality gear oil with a viscosity index of 80W or 90W and an API service rating of GL-4 or -5 is recommended for use in the gearbox. Oil should be changed after the first 30 hours or 30 days of operating. Then, normal change should be adequate. In the case of seasonal usage, it is best to change the oil at the end of the season to remove moisture and corrosive contaminants.

WARNING

■Before proceeding, read and follow all safety rules.

To change the oil, follow this procedure, Figure 12:

1.Suction out oil in gearbox through side plug using a hand pump.

NOTE: It is best to drain the oil when the gearbox is warm to remove the most contaminants.

2.Add 0.52 quart SAE 85W90 gear oil through side plug. Use level hole (halfway up the backside of gearbox) to check oil level. Add oil accordingly.

3.Install and tighten plug.

Additionally, the rakes can be adjusted to various angles, enabling users to efficiently handle different tasks such as grading, levelling, or scarifying soil.

One of the key characteristics of the SB64S, SB74S, SB54S, and SB84S models is their ergonomic design. The rakes are built with user-friendly controls that facilitate operation. Operators can change the angle and height with ease, which contributes to overall efficiency while reducing the physical strain typically associated with manual adjustments.

The rakes also feature a heavy-duty frame that supports consistent performance across various job conditions, whether working on flat ground or uneven terrains. Enhanced stability during operation means users can trust that the rake will provide uniform results without compromising the integrity of the landscape.

Another technological advantage of the SB series is its versatility in compatible attachment options, which allows users to employ the rake for various applications beyond standard landscaping, including gravel leveling and road maintenance.
