To adjust the tines, first ensure the rake is on a level surface. Loosen the bolts securing the tines, adjust to the desired angle, and tighten the bolts securely. Refer to the user manual for specific angle recommendations based on your soil type.
Regular lubrication is crucial for the rake's longevity. Use a high-quality grease, and apply it to all moving parts, including the pivot points and wheel hubs, every 10 hours of use or as specified in the manual.
Uneven raking can result from improper tine adjustment or uneven ground. Verify that all tines are adjusted to the same angle and ensure the rake is level. Check for any obstructions in the path that may cause uneven raking.
Clean the rake thoroughly to remove any debris. Lubricate all moving parts, and inspect for any wear or damage. Store in a dry location, and cover the rake to protect it from dust and moisture.
To replace a broken tine, remove the securing bolt and slide out the damaged tine. Insert the new tine and secure it with the bolt. Ensure the new tine is aligned with the others for consistent performance.
Check the wheels for any debris that might be obstructing movement. If they are clear, apply grease to the wheel bearings and check for any damage. Replace bearings if necessary.
Inspect all bolts and fasteners before each use to ensure they are tight. Regular checks can prevent parts from loosening during operation, which can lead to equipment damage or safety hazards.
Ensure the hitch is compatible with your tractor and that it is properly aligned. Check for any damage or obstructions in the hitch mechanism. Adjust the alignment and ensure all pins and locks are secure.
Always wear appropriate protective gear, such as gloves and safety glasses. Ensure bystanders are at a safe distance before operating the rake. Follow all safety instructions provided in the operator’s manual.
For heavy debris, ensure the tines are set to a more aggressive angle to better penetrate and collect materials. Operate at a slower speed to allow the rake to gather debris more effectively.
