INITIAL SETUP

Attaching the SR1 to a Skid Steer:

1. Lift the latch handles fully on the mounting plate to ensure the lock pins are fully

retracted.

2. Enter the Skid Steer, fasten the seat belt, start engine, and disengage the parking

brake.

3. Drive the Skid Steer to the location of the SR1.

4. Tilt the mounting plates of the Skid Steer forward. Slowly drive forward, while

raising the boom; and guide the top of the mounting plates into the SR1 mounting

brackets.

5. With the mounting plates firmly in place, raise and roll back the mounting plates.

Continue to raise and roll back the boom until the SR1 rests against the front of the

mounting plate.

6. With the SR1 fully supported by the mounting plates, lower the boom until the SR1

is resting just above the ground.

7. Engage the parking brake, turn off the engine, and carefully exit the Skid Steer.

8. Lower each of the latch handles fully and ensure the lock pins are fully seated.

The SR1 is ready to be setup for operations. For information on setting up the SR1 go to

the “Operation” section on page 6.

**NOTE TO OPERATOR: Some Skid Steer models may have special hook up and disconnect requirements.

Please refer to the Skid Steer Owner’s Manual for information on installing an attachment to your model

Skid Steer.

Disconnecting the SR1 from a Skid Steer:

1. Drive the Skid Steer to an area with a firm level surface.

2. Lower the Boom of the Skid Steer until the SR1 is sitting on the ground. The pitch

of the SR1 may need to be changed to ensure that the Finish Rake makes contact

to the ground before releasing the skid steer latch handles.

3. Engage the parking brake and stop the engine.

4. Lift the latch handles fully to ensure the lock pins are fully retracted.

5. With the latch handles fully retracted, tilt the mounting plate forward while slowly

backing away from the SR1.

OPERATION

Leveling the SR1 for Operations:

1. With the SR1 attached to the Skid Steer, and the scarifier depth set for use; transport

the SR1 to an area where the unit will be used. See section “Setting the Scarifier Depth:”

below for manually setting the depth of the scarifiers on the SR1.

2. Using the boom of the Skid Steer lower the SR1 down until the SR1 rest on the ground.

3. With the SR1 firmly touching the ground, tilt the SR1 forward while slowly backing up

with the Skid Steer until the finish rake of the SR1 touches the ground and the rake is at a

20 to 30-degree angle (depending on soil consistency).

Setting the Scarifier Depth:

The scarifiers on the SR1 will come pinned above the receiver tube using a ½” bent pin

and ¼” lynch pin. The scarifiers will need to be adjusted prior to use. The following

directions are for adjusting the scarifiers for use:

1. With the SR1 attached to the Skid Steer and level for operation, raise the SR1 off

the ground 6”-7”.

2. Set the parking brake, shut off the engine and exit the Skid Steer.

3. Remove the lynch pin from the bent pin and move the scarifier down in the

receiver tube until the hole in the shank of the scarifier lines up to the first hole of

the receiver tube.

4. With the holes lined up, insert the bent pin and secure with the lynch pin. Repeat

this process for the remaining scarifiers to be adjusted. The depth that SR1 will

work the ground is controlled by the position of the scarifiers in the receiver slot.

5. Move the scarifiers down as need to work the ground deeper or raise the

scarifiers as needed to work the ground less. *Below is information on checking

the depth of the scarifiers to ensure they are operating at the proper depth. *

Transport the SR1 to an area where the attachment will be used.

6. Using the Skid Steer boom lower the SR1 down until the scarifiers touch the

ground.

7. Slowly back up the Skid Steer while lowering the SR until the finish rake of the

SR1 touch the ground and is setting at a 20 to 30-degree angle. Adjust the angle

until you have a smooth flow of soil through the finish rake. This again will depend

on the type of soil.

8. With the finish rake of the SR1 touching the ground, continue to back up 4-5’ to

ensure the full depth of the scarifiers is reached.

9. Stop the Skid Steer, set the parking brake, shut off the engine and exit the Skid

Steer.

10. Check to make sure the desired working depth for the scarifiers is being reached.

If the depth of the scarifiers is too deep/shallow, adjust the depth of the scarifiers

and repeat steps 5-10 of this section till the proper depth is reached. Make sure to

check the depth of the scarifiers after every adjustment.

USING THE SR1 FINISH RAKE

The Finish Rake on the SR1 can be used as an independent feature for use on jobs to

distribute loose material. To use the finish rake as an independent feature, follow these

procedures.

Smoothing out material with the Finish Rake:

1. With the SR1 attached to the Skid Steer, transport the SR1 to an area where the

material has been broken up using the scarifiers on the SR1.

2. Lift the SR1 using the boom and tilt the SR1 so that the finish rake is angled 20 to

30-degrees.

3. Lower the SR1 down so that the finish rake rest firmly on the surface. For areas

with uneven surfaces the boom may need to be lowered or raised to prevent

excess material from building up, or to allow for material to continue to be moved.

4. Slowly back up with the Skid Steer allowing the finish rake to move the material.

5. To give the job a finished look, slowly raise the boom as the Skid Steer moves

backward to allow the material to feather out over an area.

Pushing Material with the Finish Rake:

**Note to Operator: The SR1 can be used to push material into an area. Always ensure

the material has been loosened prior to pushing material, and never push material into

an area where obstacles may be hidden, or out of operator view to prevent damage to

the SR1 or property.

1. With the SR1 attached to the Skid Steer, transport the SR1 to an area where the

material has been broken up using the scarifiers on the SR1.

2. Lift the SR1 using the boom and tilt the SR1 so that the finish rake is angled at 20

to 30-degrees.

3. Lower the SR1 down so that the finish rake rests firmly on the surface of the

material.

4. Slowly push forward allowing the material to move forward with the SR1.

5. Once the material is moved into the area where it is needed, raise the boom and

tilt the SR1 forward to allow the excess material to be deposited into the area.

MAINTENANCE

Check hardware daily to ensure that nuts and bolts are tight, and that pins are properly

secured. If any hardware is found to be damaged replace hardware prior to operating the

SR1.
