ADJUSTMENTS
RAKE LIFT CYLINDER
Completely lower Rake Lift. Remove the clevis pin (A). Twist lift linkage
(C) so clevis pin end of cylinder extension lines up with holes in attach-
ment lift arm. Replace clevis and cotter pins. Raise and lower Rake Lift
to check for proper clearance.
When the rear rake attachment is lowered while the machine is in
forward motion, the forward speed of the machine will
slow drastically. Operator should be prepared for a rapid
change in speed.
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.
Quick Disconnect Ball Joints (A) are used in ap-
plications where the housing needs to be easily
disconnected from the ball stud. This is accom-
plished by pulling back the spring-loaded outer
housing.
The speed setting may be adjusted by turning the
Ball Joint (A) counterclockwise to make the ma-
chine 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 operations.
PARK BRAKE
The park brake is located on the right hand side of the machine and operates a
brake on the right rear wheel. Push lever forward to engage and pull back to disen-
gage.
To adjust turn the knob on the end of the handle. For further adjustment you may
turn the yokes (A) clockwise to tighten and counter clockwise to loosen.
