Make sure the lower draw pins (pull pins) are installed correctly for your tractor.
Insert the draw pins into the ball sockets in the lower lift arms of the tractor’s 3-point hitch. Lock into
place with linch pins. Attach the mast of the 3-point main frame by installing the tractor’s top link with
the top link pin.
Adjust the top link assembly to obtain the correct angle of the implement. Check the tractor 3-point lift
arms and adjust to level the implement from side to side.
Never allow anyone to ride or sit on the rake or tractor while in operation. Keep bystanders at a safe
distance.
Preparation Procedure
• Thoroughly read and understand this Owner's Manual.
• UNDERGROUND UTILITIES — Contact appropriate agencies to determine if hazardous items
are buried under the work area BEFORE OPERATING! Be certain underground utilities have
been called to locate underground electric, gas, telephone and other lines. Be sure the operator
is properly informed. WHEN IN DOUBT, DO NOT RAKE!
• Check for ditches, stumps, holes, or other obstacles that could cause the tractor to roll.
• Be sure tractor tires and rims are in good condition. Inflate tires to proper air pressure.
• All persons should be at least twenty-five feet (25') away during operation. Clear the area of
helpers, bystanders, and especially children.
• Do NOT allow anyone to stand between the hitch and implement.
• It is recommended that only tractors with wide front axles use the rake. Tricycle front wheel
arrangements are inherently unstable and can cause rollover accidents.
• Make sure all safety stickers are installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.
• Check that all equipment is properly installed and securely attached to the tractor.
