ADJUSTMENTS AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
ADJUSTMENT
The springs are preset for maximum down pressure, and should not need to be adjusted. If you feel the need to
adjust the springs please call for further instructions. The unit comes pre-adjusted for most models. When in-
stalling spiker system use lower mounting holes on hitch.
Tire pressure should be 4 psi in the front and 7 psi in the rear tire for best traction.
OPERATION
Make sure the spiker system has been installed and adjusted properly for your model of bunker rake. Always
transport in fully raised position. Always remove flag pole before spiking green. Do not stop on green while spik-
ing. Do not spike up steep slopes or loss of traction may result. Do not turn while spiking.
To begin spiking, lower unit all the way down as you come across collar and continue straight across green until
reaching other collar and raise as you come off of green. Overlap stripes the same as if you were mowing.
INSTALLATION
Spiker blades must be installed so that the jagged side of the tooth cuts into the turf first. This allows only a
piercing of the turf, whereas if the straight edge of the spiker blades enters first it will act more as a cutting ef-
fect.
