Section 2: Operating Instructions
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 Powered Rake. Therefore, it is
absolutely essential that no one operates the Powered
Rake unless they are age 16 or older and have read, fully
understood, and are totally familiar with the Operator’s
Manual. Make sure the operator has paid particular
attention to:
• Important Safety Information, page 1
• Section 1: Assembly & Set-up, page 10
• Section 2: Operating Instructions, page 17
• Section 3: Adjustments, page 20
• Section 4: Maintenance & Lubrication, page 24
Perform the following inspections before using your
Powered Rake.
Make the following inspections after attaching the
Powered Rake to the skid steer. Make certain the rake is
completely stopped before continuing.
1. Inspect skid steer safety equipment to make sure it is
in good working condition.
2. Carefully raise and lower attachment with the
Powered Rake set at the maximum angle to ensure
that the tires and other equipment on the skid steer
do not contact the rake.
3. Inspect hydraulic hoses for pinch points. Reposition
hoses if needed. For correct hose set-up, see
“Hydraulic Motor Hose Assembly” set-up instructions
on Page 11.
4. Inspect hydraulic hoses for wear, damage and
hydraulic leaks. See “Avoid High Pressure Fluids
Hazard” on page 3
. Replace damaged and worn
hoses with genuine Kubota parts.

Inspect hydraulic hoses for wear, damage, and
hydraulic leaks. Replace damaged and worn
hoses with genuine Kubota parts.

Check initially and periodically for proper chain
tension.
Refer to “Drive Chain Inspection”.

Check all grease fittings. to make sure they have
been properly lubricated. Refer to “Lubrication”.
27
Check oil level in chaincase. Make certain oil
plugs are properly replaced. Refer to
“Chaincase” instructions.
28
Check initially and periodically for loose bolts
and pins. Refer to “Torque Values Chart”.

Safety Information
To avoid serious injury or death:
A crushing hazard exists while hooking-up and unhooking the
attachment. Do not allow anyone to stand between attachment
and power machine while approaching or backing away from
the attachment. Do not operate lift and/or tilt controls while
someone is near the power machine and/or attachment.
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Never carry riders on the attachment or power machine.
Riders can obstruct the operator’s view, interfere with
control of the equipment, be pinched by moving
components, become entangled in rotating components, be
struck by objects, be thrown or fall from the equipment, etc.
• Always shut power machine down following the “Shutdown
Procedure” provided in this manual before leaving the
operator’s seat.
• Do not use attachment to lift, carry, push or tow other
equipment and objects. It is not properly designed or
guarded for this use. The operator could lose control and
cause a tipping hazard.
• Hydraulic fluid under high pressure can penetrate the skin
and/or eyes causing a serious injury. Wear protective gloves
and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic
systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood rather than
hands when searching for leaks. A doctor familiar with this
type of injury must treat the injury within a few hours or
gangrene may result. DO NOT DELAY.
• Do not rotate front loader hitch plate fully down. Doing so
can damage hydraulic hoses and cause high pressure fluid
leaks. Fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin and/or
eyes.
• Do not become entangled in the hydraulic hoses. Tripping
over hoses while entering or exiting the operator station can
cause serious injury or death.
• Make sure hydraulic flow to the attachment does not exceed
maximum rated flow listed in the specifications. Exceeding
maximum flow will increase rotor speed and result in a
thrown object hazard.
• Backup alarm must be in good working order to warn
others. Use a backup camera or rear-view mirror that is in
good condition to help see undesirable situations behind the
unit. Drive at a slower speed to compensate for blind spots.
• Avoid exposure to dust containing crystalline silica
particles. This dust can cause serious injury to the lungs
(silicosis). Because crystalline silica is a basic component
of sand and granite, many activities at construction sites
produce dust containing crystalline silica. Trenching,
sawing and boring of material containing crystalline silica
can produce dust containing crystalline silica.
