Assembly STEP 1: Attach Axle Assembly (#1) to Tongue Assembly (#2) with two 5/16”x2” Bolts (#E) and two 5/16” Lock Nuts (#C). STEP 2: Attach Pneumatic Wheels (#3) to Axel Assembly (#1), and secure with two 9/16” Lock Nuts (#A). NOTE: Inflation valve stem of the wheel should be facing out. CAUTION: DO NOT over-tighten the lock nut; this can result in damage to the bearings in the wheel hub. When properly tightened, the wheel should spin freely.
STEP 8: Attach the Right and Left Weight Boxes (#9) to the Axle Assembly (1) as shown in figure 4 using four 5/16”x2” Bolts (E) and four 5/16” Lock Nuts (#C). Before Each Use It is recommended that you mow or cut grass to 3” or shorter before raking or dethatching. When the Acreage Rake is in operating position, adjust the height of the Rake Tine Wheels, so raking tines contact the ground lightly. Keep the lifting chain almost tight when operating, if possible.
