ADJUSTMENTS
RAKE LIFT CYLINDER
Completely lower Rake Lift. Remove cotter pin (A) and clevis pin (B).
Place attachment lift arms (C) at
1
/
16
" above cross member (D) on
Rake Lift. Loosen jam nut (E). Twist cylinder extension (F) so clevis
pin end of cylinder extension lines up with holes in attachment lift arm.
Replace clevis and cotter pins. Tighten jam nut. 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. The speed setting may be
adjusted by turning the Ball Joint (A) coun-
terclockwise 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 inter-
fere with other operations.
