SAFETY
Make sure you read this Operator’s Manual thoroughly before starting off, working with, servicing,
or carrying out any other operation on your Landscape Rake. A few minutes of reading will save you
time and hassle later. Lack of knowledge could lead to accidents.
There are important safety decals on your Landscape Rake. Their locations are shown here. Please take
time to find these decals and read them carefully. Understand and practice safety precautions as though
your life depends on them. It does! Your Landscape Rake was designed with safety in mind.
However, there is no real substitute for caution and attention in
preventing accidents. Once an accident has happened, it’s too
late to think about what you should have done!
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. It is very important to use the Landscape Rake only on the buckets of loaders with the correct load capacity for
each of the three Landscape Rakesizes.
2. Never modify the Landscape Rake, nor add to it any attachments not specifically approved by the manufacturer.
3. Always make sure that control levers and pedals are in their neutral position beforestarting the loader engine.
4. Check before use to makesure the Landscape Rake is securely fastened to the loader bucket.
5. Make sure you always wear safety goggles while operating your Landscape Rake.
6. Keep all bystanders at least six feet (2 m.) away from your Landscape Rake while it is operating.
7. Operate the Landscape Rake only from the loader operator’s seat. Make sure you have fastened your seat belt and
that you have engaged any other safety devices with which the loader is equipped.
8. Keep your hands and feet inside the loader while operating the Landscape Rake.
9. When first learning to use the LandscapeRake, operate it slowly until you get the feel of it.
10. Never dump the bucket higher than the safety instructions provided by the manufacturer of your skid steer.
11. Alwayslower and level the Landscape Rake before you leave the operator’s seat.
12. The Landscape Rake must be lowered all the way to the ground and the loader engine stopped before
cleaning, servicing or repairing the unit.

1. Before
beginning
installati on.
Make sure you have the
correct width Landscape
Rake for your bucket:
INSTALLATION
For Buckets wi th O
utsi
"
de Widths of:
6715H - 60 to 66.5 (1.52m - 1.69m)
" to 68.5 (1.58m - 1.74m)
6915H - 62 "
" to 73.5 (1.73m - 1.87m)
7415H - 68 "
" to 83.5 (1.98m - 2.12m)
8415H - 78 "
2. Uncrate the
Landscape Rake.
Lay out two 2 " x 4 " or 2 " x
6 " boards on a firm, flat,
level surface, parallel to
the side sheets of the Landscape Rake. Using a forklift, position the Landscape Rake on top of them,
so that each side sheet rests its entire length on the wide side of a board. Later, when you position
your bucket, its
outside edges will also rest on these boards.
Measure the distance from the rotor teeth to the ground between the boards; it should be about 1.5 " .
3. Cutting the pin guides to suit bucket width.
There are two pin guides on each side of the Landscape Rake; use high or low guides, depending
upon the type of bucket.
Measure the outside width of the loader bucket.
Cut off the pin guides so that the distance from the inside of the left guide to the inside of the right
guide is ¼ " longer than the outside width of the bucket. Save the cut-off pieces for spacers.
4. Drilling holes in bucket sides.
With bucket attached to the loader, drive into the position you want the Landscape Rake to be in
when mounted, making sure the bucket edge does not hit the stops.
Measure from the top of the pin guide you will be using to the top edge of the bucket. This
measurement will vary depending on the type bucket, but it is important that this measurement be the
same on both sides.
Measure from the end of the rotor teeth to the bucket cutting edge. This distance should be between 3 "
and 8 " . If not, the other two pin guides will have to be used, so that proper measurement is achieved.
Drill a pilot hole in each bucket side, using the pin guides as templates.
Using the loader, back the bucket away from the Landscape Rake.
Using a hole saw, drill a 1 " hole in each bucket side sheet.
Clean out the drilled holes with a reamer.
5. Making the final installation
With the loader, drive the bucket into the Landscape
Rake. Line up the newly-drilled holes with the pin

6
guides.
Insert the pins and fasten with hairpin cotters, with cotters toward the inside of the Landscape Rake;
use the guide pieces cut off earlier as spacers between the cotters and the bucket end sheets.
Attach hydraulic quick couplers.

OPERATION
After the Landscape Rake has been installed on the skid steer, lower the bucket to the ground and tilt it
forward about 15°. No down pressure is needed on the bucket.
With engine throttle at about half, engage the rotor and begin backing up with the skid steer, slowly, so that
rocks and dirt can be processed completely. At this point, dirt and rocks are processed together through the
rotor. The bucket should be about half full for the Landscape Rake to operate correctly. If you dump the
bucket too often, the unit will not be able to process the soil well enough, and you will dump too much dirt.
When the bucket is kept at about half full, the dirt clumps are broken up, leaving only rocks in the bucket.
Dirt, fine enough for seeding, passes through the rotor and out the back of the Landscape Rake screen.
You may have to make a rough pass in some conditions, depending on how rocky the soil is, and then a
final pass to level the soil and finish it for seeding.
When it comes time to empty the bucket, raise it, along with the Landscape Rake, and move to the dumping
area. When the loader arms are raised and the bucket with Landscape Rake rolled forward, rocks are
dumped out between the cutting edge and the rotor. Reversing the rotor may be helpful when dumping
larger rocks. Remember, never dump the bucket higher than the safety instructions provided by the
manufacturer of your skid steer.
Although the Landscape Rake performs its rock-picking functions operating in reverse, it is also designed to
push small amounts of dirt when moving forward. Operators find this a convenient way to level the ground
being worked on.
MAINTENANCE
BeforeEvery Operation
Make sure attaching pins are secure, with hairpin cotters locking them
Make sure all bolts and nuts are in place and tight. Make
sure hydraulic fittings are tight, with no leaks. Make
certain safety decals are in place, clean and legible.
Replace any damaged or worn parts.
After Ten Hours of Operation
Grease the two fittings, one at each rotor bearing; repeat prior to each ten-hour operating period.
Make sure chain has about ½ " (6 mm) slack. If not, adjust it with the moveable motor mount.
After Forty Hours
Make sure chain has about ½
" (6 mm) slack. If not, adjust it with the moveable motor mount.
