Operating Instructions
By now you should have thoroughly read your Operator’s
Manual and properly installed your Land Pride
Landscape Rake to your tractor. Before you begin raking
you should visually survey the work site to make sure it is
safe and free of foreign obstacles. Also make certain that
all irrigation heads, utility outlets, and other obstacles are
properly marked.
Please stop and do the above checks and preparations if
you have not yet done so before you begin to rake. This
is a must for your safety and for the safety of others.
Now that you are properly briefed, your landscape rake is
properly installed, and you have properly checked out
your work site, it is time to begin raking. When
transporting or travelling to and from work sites, make
sure that the rake is in the fully raised position and not in
contact with the ground. Select a safe speed and
transport to your work site in such a manner that faster
moving vehicles can pass you safely. A slow moving
vehicle sign should be employed if you are using a public
road or right-of way.

Operating Checklist
Hazard control and accident prevention are dependent
upon the awareness, concern, prudence, and proper
training involved in the operation, transport, storage, and
maintenance of the blade. Therefore, it is absolutely
essential that no one operates the Landscape Rake
without first having read, fully understood, and become
totally familiar with the Operator’s Manual. Make sure the
operator has paid particular attention to:

Make the following inspections after attaching the
Landscape Rake to the tractor:
1. Inspect tractor safety equipment to make sure it is in
good working condition.
2. Carefully raise and lower the implement to ensure
that the drawbar, tires, and other equipment on the
tractor do not contact the frame and moldboard.
3. Carefully pivot rake fully clockwise such that the rake
teeth closest to the tractor are in line with the tractor
tire. Raise and lower implement to ensure tractor
tires and tractor do not contact the rake.
