INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Bolt rake teeth (Ref 9) to frames, keeping all the same length. Leave the two outside holes on right
and left rake open (Ref A).
2. Lay out rake frames (Ref 1,6 and 8). Connect them using clevis pin, machine bushing and cotter pin (Ref
11, 4 and 5).
3. Attach drawbar to left and right frames using bolt, machine bushing, and nut (Ref 13, 2 and 3).
4. Attach five finishing blades (Ref 7) to the tabs of the rake frames using master link (Ref 14). Blades may
be mounted with saw tooth up or down, depending on the desired finish of the sand trap.
5. Attach the rake lift to the trap rake quick hitch, by sliding the the hitch into the spring loaded locking
mechanism.
6. With the rake on the ground pull the rake to the right side until it is 2-3 inches from the tire.
7. Repeat steps on left side.
8. Turn machine on and test for operation of rake assembly by raising and lowering the rake assembly. Also
with rake down, turn sharp corners to check that rake does not touch wheels.
9. NOTE: Test rake in sand to assure tire tracks are covered by the rake when turning sharp corners in
either direction. If there are tire tracks, readjust using the adjusting screws on the hitch, so the rake
comes closer to the tire.
GROOMER BLADES - GOLF COURSE USE ONLY.
1. Place the three groomer blades (Ref 10) under the three rake assemblies (Ref 1, 6 and 8) .
2. Center blades below rear most row of rake teeth. The blade is designed to miss the outside two “teeth’
and fit around the center ‘tooth’.
3. Remove the two ‘teeth’ that line up with slots of each groomer blade. Move blade up and into position and
reattach ‘teeth’. Blade thickness should be accounted for by shortening the ‘teeth’ an equal length.
