SURVEY THE AREA
Take a few minutes to walk around the jobsite. These few minutes are time well-spent because you can:
1. Plan a strategy. Ask yourself some questions about doing the job most efficiently. Where are the highest
points on this job? Where are the lowest? Where should I start? Where should I deposit the rocks? These
are the types of questions that you should ask yourself before starting each job.
2. Look for obstructions. Walk around the jobsite to spot the enemies of your Power rake. These enemies
include: roots, steel strapping, rope, wire, plastic wrapping, or anything that may hinder or damage your
machine.Removethese enemiesbeforeyoustartoperating.Also, look forpermanentobjectsthatmay often
be buried or hidden on jobsites. These include: drainage pipe, electrical wiring, sewer vents, well covers,
concrete slabs, etc.
WARNING: Be aware of electrical wires or pipes which may have a shallow cover of earth.
3. Prepare for final clean-up. Clean-up is made easier when you choose an area beforehand that is better
for gathering and cleaning up rocks. Areas that are close to your trucks, on solid gr ound, along a street or
grass-covered are ideal for depositing rocks and debris. Work the final windrows towards this area
