By-pass Valve
This valve should be completely closed when running the unit. The valve is closed by turning clockwise. This valve can be opened to push the unit when the engine is not running.
Towing the Machine
The machine can be moved for a short distance with the engine off, but we do not recommend this as a standard procedure. When towing do not tow the machine faster than -3 MPH (3-5 km/h) because the drive system may be damaged. The tires may lock up if the machine is towed too fast. If this occurs, stop towing the machine. If the machine must be moved a considerable distance, transport it on a truck or trailer.
Speed Boss by
Speed Boss allows the machine to
operate at a proper speed while
ra ing bun ers on golf courses.
This speed has been factory set at an
average speed of 3-4 MPH (5-6.5 ph).
It may be re-set to any desired
operating speed. See Manual for
instructions.
CAUTION : When the rear ra e
attachment is lowered while the
machine is in forward motion, the
forward speed of the machine will
slow drastically. Operator should be
prepared for rapid change in speed.

OPERATION
STARTINGENGINE
Before operating this machine, become familiar with all controls and functions of these units. Also complete
all maintenance requirements and read all safety warnings. By knowing the machine thoroughly, how it oper-
ates and by doing the prescribed maintenance steps, you can expect relatively trouble-free operation for
years to come.
1. Make sure the fuel flow valve, located on the fuel tank, is “ON.”
2. Set park brake. Start safety switch is on the park brake.
3. The ignition switch is a three position on gas and four position on diesel.
For Gas engines: Insert key (A) and turn clockwise until engine starts
(C). Release key and it will return to run position (B). Use choke and hand
throttle as necessary. For Diesel Engines: Insert key (A) and turn clock-
wise to (B). When glow light goes out, turn key clockwise until engine
starts (C). Release key and it will return to run position (B).
4. Allow engine to idle and warm up a few minutes before selecting a direc-
tion of travel.
5. To shut off engine on all gas machines turn key to the stop position.
COLDWEATHERSTARTING -GASONLY
When attempting to start the engine in cold weather, the oil in the hydrostatic pump
may provide too much resistance to start a cold machine.
Before attempting to start the engine in cold weather, disengage the drive belt to
the hydrostatic by pushing down the idler lever until it catches in the notch on the
latching lever. Start engine and allow it to warm up with no load. When the engine is
warm, shut off engine. Push down on the latching lever until the idler is released.
Engine must be stopped when the drive belt is engaged. If the engine is running when the belt is en-
gaged,thevehiclemay move suddenly, injuring you and/or bystanders.
Alwaysstoptheengine before reengaging the drive belt. The suddenapplicationofpowertothe hydro-
static may cause serious damage the pump, the engine or both.

HOWTORAKE ASANDTRAP
HOWTORAKEASANDTRAP
View bunker to determine the most efficient pattern to follow so that rake pattern and configuration of bunker
will flow in same general direction and look attractive.
Enter bunker at its lowest point. Perhaps drain area or another point where “lip” of the trap is minimal.
Operate at 2-4 m.p.h. (3-6.5 kph) for best raking results. Control speed with hydraulic pedal.
Oncefullyinsidebunker, lower rear rake and proceed forward as described above.
First pass should be directly down center of trap. This helps avoid ex-
tremely sharp turns that will spoil sands’ appearance.
Onceat far end, turn machine and
drivedownone side
oftrapand come
back up other side.
Grassorother material
may build up on rake
tines as machine passes
“enter/exit”pointinFigure
1. Lift rake briefly while still
movingforward.
Do not rake closer than 6" (15
cm) to edge of trap.
Do not rake slopes in trap. The
weightof machine will pull sanddown.
Use cultivator or other center mounted accessories only as necessary for compacted sand. Frequent use will
leave sand too soft and objectionable to some golfers.
Use front mounted plow to push sand to desired locations within trap.
After exiting trap, secure machines in accordance with practices described in this manual. Rake trap edges,
slopes and “enter /exit” area with a hand rake.
After returning to maintenance area, thoroughly clean machine, check fluids, and lubricate as advised in this
manual.

proper ventilation.
Battery cable should be disconnected before using "Fast Charge".
Charge battery at 15 amps for 10 minutes or 7 amps for 30 minutes. Do not exceed the recommended charging rate. If
electrolyte starts boiling over, decrease charging.
Always remove grounded (-) battery clamp first and replace it last. Avoid hazards by:
1. Filling batteries in well-ventilated areas.
2. Wear eye protection and rubber gloves.
3. Avoid breathing fumes when electrolyte is added.
4. Avoid spilling or dripping electrolyte.
Battery Electrolyte is an acidic solution and should be handled with care. If electrolyte is splashed on
any part of your body, flush all contact areas immediately with liberal amounts of water. Get medical
attention immediately.
JUMP STARTING
Use of booster battery and jumper cables. Particular care should be used when connecting a booster
battery. Use proper polarity in order to prevent sparks.
To jump start (negative grounded battery):
1. Shield eyes.
2. Connect ends of one cable to positive (+) terminals
of each battery, first (A) then (B).
3. Connect one end of other cable to negative (-)
terminal of "good" battery (C).
4. Connect other end of cable (D) to engine block on
unit being started (NOT to negative (-) terminal of
battery)
To prevent damage to other electrical components on unit
being started, make certain that engine is at idle speed
before disconnecting jumper cables.
