Kubota LR0548 Rake F.A.Q.

How do I properly adjust the tines on my Kubota LR0548 Rake?

To adjust the tines, ensure the rake is on a flat surface. Loosen the adjustment bolts and set the tines to the desired height, ensuring they are evenly aligned. Tighten the bolts securely before use.

What is the recommended maintenance schedule for the Kubota LR0548 Rake?

Regular maintenance includes checking tine wear, lubricating moving parts every 20 hours of operation, inspecting bolts and nuts for tightness, and cleaning debris after each use.

How can I troubleshoot uneven raking performance?

Uneven raking can be caused by improperly adjusted tines or uneven tire pressure. Check and adjust the tines, and ensure all tires are inflated to the manufacturer's specifications.

What should I do if the rake is not picking up debris effectively?

Inspect the tines for damage or excessive wear. Ensure they are correctly adjusted and replace any worn-out tines. Additionally, check for any obstructions in the rake mechanism.

How do I safely store my Kubota LR0548 Rake during the off-season?

Clean the rake thoroughly to remove any debris and dirt. Apply a light coat of oil to metal parts to prevent rust. Store in a dry, sheltered location away from extreme temperature changes.

What are the signs that the tines need to be replaced?

Signs include visible wear, bending, or breakage of the tines. If the rake is not performing efficiently or leaving debris behind, it's time to inspect and potentially replace the tines.

Can I use the Kubota LR0548 Rake on wet ground?

It is not recommended to use the rake on excessively wet ground as it may cause damage to the tines and reduce efficiency. Allow the ground to dry slightly for optimal performance.

How do I check for proper tire pressure on the Kubota LR0548 Rake?

Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in each tire, ensuring it matches the recommended PSI listed in the user manual. Adjust as necessary using an air compressor.
