Description
The PC Series Paddock Cleaner is designed to pick up horse dung and other debris with ease to make paddock maintenance quick and easy. The
PC series are installed with a unique electric tipping mechanism that allows for easy emptying of the hopper by a simple controller.
The PC Series Paddock Cleaner is a trailed attachment that comes in two sizes, 1.2m (PC120) & 1.5m (PC150). 8 Polyethylene brushes in 4 rows
powered by a Honda GX200 6.5hp Engine collect the dung into a large hopper. The engine comes with easy electric start and optional remote
throttle cable, allowing the installation of the throttle on the back of a ATV should it be required.
These machines should however only be used to perform tasks for which they were designed - use of the machine for any other function may be
both dangerous to persons, and potentially damaging to components. Use of the machine beyond the stated usage may invalidate any applicable
warranty, as well as being potential in breach of applicable safety regulations.
Identification
Each machine is fitted with a serial plate (shown below) which details the
following:
1. Model
2. Date of Manufacture (DOM)
3. Serial Number
4. Mass
When enquiring regarding spares or additional equipment, ensure you have
this information to hand.
Noise Levels
The sound of this machine, as measured at the typical operator location under normal operating conditions, is 91db. If being towed by an open-
cab vehicle, it is essential that ear defenders or a suitable helmet is worn at all times. If being towed behind a closed-cab UTV, 4x4 or similar, then
the cab should remain closed to reduce noise. It is the operators responsibility to ensure that noise levels experienced by the operator are within
legal limits.

Initial Assembly of the Machine (if applicable)
If delivered from a local distributor, the PC Series should be fully assembled, PDI’d & ready to go. For some customers the PC120 is shipped direct
from the factory, with the machine standing vertically on the pallet for ease of transport. Please follow instructions below for initial assembly.
Drawbar
Tools required: 17, 19 & 24mm Spanners
1. Lower the Paddock cleaner gently down with
supports beneath the black skid plates.
2. Remove the three bolts from the drawbar mount
(shown below), taking note of the number and
location of washers so that they are fitted in the
correct number on re-assembly.
3. Next, install the REARMOST M12 bolt to the bottom
rear of the drawbar mount by offering up the
drawbar, inserting the bolt and fitting the washers
and nut loosely.
4. Next, install the FRONTMOST M12 bolt & nut in
the slot at the front of the drawbar mount, again
fitting washers and nuts loosely
5. Supporting the weight of the drawbar, lift up until the
drawbar adjuster is in-line with the last M16 bolt at the top of
the drawbar mount, installing washers and nuts loosely..
There should be one aluminium spacing bush either side of
the adjuster itself (not shown in picture).
6. Tighten the top M16 bolt and nut using 24mm spanners
such that it secures the assembly without distorting the
orange drawbar mount inwards. Likewise the 2 x M12 bolts
need to be tightened to a sliding fit using 19mm spanners
so that the drawbar mount is not distorted inwards and it
can move freely when the height adjuster is rotated
7. Lastly, install the Jockey wheel by unwinding the clamp, insert the jockey wheel into the clamp and tightening securely.
