CAUTION
BEFORE any maintenance is performed, lower the Powered
Rake to the ground, stop tractor engine and remove key. DO
NOT attempt to make maintenance adjustments while tractor is
running.
Storage
At the end of the working season or when the Powered
Rake will not be used for a long period, it is good practice
to clean off any dirt or grease that may have accumulated
on any of the moving parts.
Check the roller studs or bars for wear and replace the
roller and/or studs if necessary.
Inspect the Powered Rake for loose, damaged or worn
parts and adjust or replace if needed.
Lubricate as noted in “Lubrication” on page 14.
Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to prevent
rust.
Drain gearbox and chain case oil. Drain oil in gearbox by
removing the bottom drain plug. Drain oil in chain case by
removing bottom cover (#2) Figure 5-2. Be sure to refill
gearbox and chain case at this time.
Apply a light coat of grease to any exposed hydraulic
cylinder rod.
Store Powered Rake in a clean, dry place.
Drive Chain Maintenance
The operator should check periodically to make sure that
the drive chain is tight. If adjustment is needed refer to

IMPORTANT: Proper servicing and adjustment is the
key to the long life of any machine. With careful and
systematic inspection of the Powered Rake, costly
maintenance, time and repair can be avoided.
IMPORTANT: If chain case skid shoe needs to be
replaced, it is important that the carriage bolt threads
and nuts are coated generously with Sikaflex. This
will insure that there is no oil leakage from chain case.
