Introduction Introduction
Read this manual carefully to ensure that you thoroughly understand
how to properly operate and maintain this machine, and to avoid causing
injury to yourself or others. The operator is responsible for operating the

Thank you for purchasing a BARONESS SP05 Bunker Rake.
This manual describes the correct methods for handling, adjusting, and
checking the machine.
Read this manual and make sure that you understand the content
thoroughly before using the machine.
Our machines have been tested and inspected thoroughly before shipment
from the factory. However, whether the machine demonstrates its original
performance level depends on the manner in which it is handled, as well
as the performance of daily checks, adjustments, and lubrication before
and after operation. Keep the machine well maintained to ensure safe
operation and excellent performance for an extended period of time.
Note
●Gradual changes may be made
to the machine.
When making inquiries about the
machine, be sure to specify both
the model type and serial number.
●Keep this Owner’s Manual in the
case behind the seat.
●The information described in
this manual is subject to change
without prior notice.
. . . . Warning labels and operation labels

1. Training
Read the Owner's operating Manual and other training material carefully.
Be familiar with the controls and safety indications and learn how to stop
the machine in an emergency.
If the operator cannot understand the manual, it is the owner’s
responsibility to thoroughly explain the content of the Owner's operating
Manual.
Never allow children to operate or service the machine. Never allow
adults that are unfamiliar with the instructions to operate or service
the machine. Follow the age limit specified by your country or local
government.
Never operate the machine while people, especially children, or pets are
nearby.
Keep in mind that the owner, operator, and mechanic are responsible
for preventing accidents, and accidents can be prevented with proper
operational training.
Never carry passengers.
All operators and mechanics should receive proper training. The owner
is responsible for ensuring that the operators receive training and the
following must be thoroughly understood:
●The basic safety precautions for operating a ride-on bunker rake.
●Controlling the machine by applying the brake when it begins to slide
on a slope is difcult. The main reasons why it may not be possible to
control the machine on a slope are:
● Insufcient tire grip
● Driving too fast
● Inadequate braking
● The use of a model that is unsuitable for the job
● Lack of awareness of the ground conditions (bumpy, icy, muddy), in
particular, the angle of gradient
2. Preparation
Use clothing and equipment that are suitable for the job. Wear a helmet,
safety glasses, and ear protectors. Long hair, loose clothing, or jewelry
can get tangled in moving parts. Do not operate the machine when
barefoot or wearing sandals.
Before starting, thoroughly check that the area where the machine is to
be used is free of objects that can be thrown by the machine, such as
rocks, toys, and wire.
Do not operate the machine under the inuence of alcohol or drugs.
Warning: Fuel is highly flammable so make sure that you take the
following precautions:
● Store fuel in containers specically designed for this purpose.
●Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refueling.
●Refuel before operating the machine. Do not remove the fuel tank
cap while the engine is running or when the engine is hot.
●If fuel is spilled, do not start the engine. Move the machine away from
the area where the fuel was spilled and avoid creating any source of
ignition until the spilled fuel has completely dissipated.
●Close the fuel tank and fuel container cap securely.
Repair any sensors that are malfunctioning before operating the
machine.
Check that the seat switch, safety switch, safety guards, and covers are
installed correctly and that they function properly. Repair these parts if
there is a malfunction before operating the machine.

3. Precautions during operation
Do not start the engine in a closed space, there is the danger of carbon
monoxide poisoning.
Operate the machine during the day or in an area with sufcient lighting.
Before starting the engine, set the parking brake.
Remember that there is no such thing as a safe slope. Operating on
grassy slopes requires particular care. To avoid overturning:
●Do not stop or start suddenly on any slope.
●Reduce speed when operating on a slope and when making sharp
turns.
●Always stay alert for bumps, hollows, and other hidden obstacles.
●Never drive the machine across a slope unless the machine is
designed to do so.
Always keep a lookout for hidden hollows or obstacles.
Watch out for other trafc when crossing or near a road.
Do not operate the machine with damaged guards or with guards not
installed properly.
Do not change the engine governor setting or operate the engine at high
speeds. Doing so could result in an accident causing injury or death, or
a malfunction.
Before leaving the operator’s position:
●Move the machine to a level surface.
●Ensure the gearshift foot pedal is in neutral and set the parking brake.
●Reduce the engine speed.
●Stop the engine and remove the key.
Stop the engine, and remove the key under the following conditions:
●Before refueling
●Before adjusting the rake and the blade
●Before removing blockages
●Before checking, cleaning, or servicing the machine
●When experiencing an abnormal vibration while operating the
machine
When turning the engine off, close the throttle and then close the fuel
valve if your model is equipped with one.
Before backing up, look down and behind you to check that the path is
clear and that you can back up safely. Have someone guide you if it is
difcult to check the area behind you.
Reduce speed when turning or crossing roads or sidewalks, and pay
close attention to your surroundings when proceeding.
Take care when loading or unloading the machine onto a trailer or truck.
Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other
objects that may obscure your vision.
4. Maintenance and storage
Check that all nuts, bolts, and screws are properly tightened to ensure
that the machine is always operated under safe conditions.
Empty the fuel tank and keep the machine away from ignition sources
when storing the machine in a building where sparks and open ames
are used.
Let the engine cool down before storing the machine in a closed space.
To prevent a fire, keep the engine, muffler, and battery areas free of
excessive grease, grass, leaves, and dust.
Keep all parts of the machine in good working condition and all fasteners
and hydraulic ttings tightened.
If the fuel tank needs to be cleaned, clean it outdoors.
Take care that your ngers do not get crushed while making adjustments
to the machine.
Before servicing or adjusting the machine, bring it to a stop, set the
parking brake, turn the engine off, and remove the key (for gasoline
engines, disconnect the spark plug lead as well). Be sure to check
that each part has completely stopped operating before servicing or
adjusting the machine.
To prevent a re, keep areas around the drives, exhaust pipes, mufers,
and engine free of excessive grease, grass, leaves, and dust. Clean up
any spilled oil or fuel.
When necessary, use a jack to securely support the machine.
Take care when removing equipment that may have pressure such as
that from a spring applied to it.
When servicing the machine, disconnect the battery and the spark plug
lead. To disconnect the battery, disconnect the negative battery cable
rst and then the positive battery cable. To connect the battery, connect
the positive battery cable rst.
Keep hands and feet away from moving parts. If possible, avoid making
any adjustments while the engine is running.
