ADJUSTMENTS
RAKE LIFT CYLINDER
Completely lower Rake Lift. Remove the clevis pin (A). Twist lift link-
age (C) so clevis pin end of cylinder extension lines up with holes in
attachment 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 oper-
ate 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 operations.
