SPEED BOSS
Speed Boss allows the machine to operate at a
proper speed while raking sand traps on golf
courses. This speed boss has been factory set at
an average speed of 3-4 m.p.h. (5-6.5 kph). The
Speed Boss will only limit the speed while the rake
is lowered into the operating position. The speed
setting may be adjusted by turning the Ball Joint
(A) counterclockwise to make the machine operate
slower or turn clockwise to go faster. Tighten jam
nut. Check to make sure nothing is binding and
test drive to check desired speed.
For RBS System, Spiker and Grader Box remove
the speed boss arm and the speed boss rod from
machine so it does not interfere with other opera-
tions.
