How to Set Up Your Surf Rake Beach Cleaner

SETTING UP YOUR TRACTOR

#1. Remove the top three-point hitch arm.

#2 Remove the PTO guard to allow the PTO pump to fit on the shaft.

#3 Attach draw bar and set draw bar height.

#4 Remove arm yoke pins – perform on both sides of draw bar.

#5. Attach draw bar.

#6 Lower draw bar until 4-6” (10-15cm) from ground.

#7 Lower the draw bar by turning the turnbuckle.

#8 Repeat on the left side.

#9 Check that the bar is level – both side arms must be equal lengths.

#10 Refasten both arm yokes.

ATTACH THE SURF RAKE TO THE TRACTOR

#1. Align the pin hole – matching the center hole on the draw bar with the hole in the Surf Rake.

#2 Secure the pin through the matching holes and secure with the colter pin.

#3 Attach the PTO pump.

#4 Adjust the pump brackets as necessary – the 3 point hitch pin must slide through the hole in the mounting bracket.

#5 Secure the pump with the pin.

#6 Refasten the bracket to the pump.

#7 Attach the hydraulic hoses.

#8 Clean the hydraulic spools.

#9 Connect single dump hose on newer Surf Rake models.

#10 Hydraulic moldboard option – connect send and return lines on same spool.

#11 Older Surf Rake configuration – some older machines require two dump hoses, each on separate lines.

#12 Older model finisher hose – finishers on older models also have a separate hose and require a third spool.

TEST THE COMPONENTS

#1 Make sure the flow control is on.

#2 Turn the PTO on to run conveyer/finisher.

#3 The Conveyer speed is controlled by the tractor engine speed.

#4 The finisher activates when the PTO is on.

#5 Test the dump line – run through the whole cycle.
