suction hose is twisted, the hose clamp on the pump end of the hose can be loosened, the hose turned to
the desired position, and the clamp re-tightened.
.
HYDRAULIC FILTER The hydraulic fluid is filtered and returned to the reservoir tank through the canister
filter.
HYDRAULIC CONVEYOR BELT MOTOR The hydraulic motor drives the
conveyor belt and is located next to the chain case. The intake hose comes
from the flow control and the outlet hose returns to the reservoir. The motor
does not run in reverse. There is a take up bolt and lock down nut at the base
of the motor that moves the motor to adjust and tighten the chain case drive
chain when the chain wears.
THE CONTROL VALVE includes an adjustable control for conveyor speed, a
reversing valve and overflow protection and
The conveyor is activated when the tractor PTO is engaged. The conveyor speed adjustment is set for
optimal cleaning. The conveyor speed can be slowed down by loosening the lock nut and turning the speed
control handle clockwise.
The automatic finisher is activated or deactivated when the PTO is engaged or disengaged. The finisher is
not affected when adjusting the conveyor speed. The finisher can be kept in the up position by closing the in
line shut off valve which is located above the hydraulic tank at the front, center of the machine. The shut off
valve is shipped in the open position for normal finisher operation.
The internal overflow valve protects the conveyor, sprockets and rollers
from objects that have become wedged. In the event that the conveyor is
stopped because of an obstruction, the reversing valve handle can be lifted
and held to reverse the conveyor direction and disentangle these objects.
Release the valve to resume normal operation.
HYDRAULIC COMPONENTS (BUCKET AND FINISHER)
The tractor’s remote valve hydraulic system is used to control both the bucket hydraulics and the finisher
hydraulics.
Each tractor remote valve spool has a pair (2) of quick disconnects that are next to each other, positioned
vertically one on top of the other, and independently operated from adjacent spools.
If a finisher option is added to the Surf Rake
®
, an additional spool or remote spool is needed for the finisher
raising and lowering operation (OPTIONAL).
AUTOMATIC FINISHER (OPTION) The automatic finisher is integrated into the conveyor belt hydraulics.
When the PTO on the tractor is engaged, the conveyor belt is activated and the finisher is lowered. A spring
mechanism is used to raise the finisher when the PTO is disengaged.
FINISHER CYLINDER (OPTION) The finisher’s single acting cylinder is operated hydraulically through a
hose connected to one of the tractor’s quick disconnecting remote valves. The finisher cylinder lowers the
finisher onto the beach to create a smooth pathway behind the Surf Rake
®
. The finisher cylinder raises the
finisher for transporting to and from either a debris dump site or dumpster and for transporting the Surf
Rake
®
to a storage site.
