DAILY CHECKLIST
Use all procedures and parts prescribed by the manufacturer's. Read the engine manual
before operation.
The suggested maintenance checklist is not offered as a replacement for the manufacturer’s but as a supple-
ment. You must adhere to guidelines established by manufacturer for warranty coverage. In adverse condi-
tions such as dirt, mud or extreme temperatures, maintenance should be more frequent.
DAILY CHECKLIST
1. Check park brake adjustment. Adjust as required.
2. Check engine oil level. Add as needed. DO NOT OVERFILL.
3. Tire pressure should be 5 psi (0.34 bar) maximum for knobby tires and 8 psi (.55 bar) for turf trac.
4. Inspect electrical system for loose connections or frayed wiring, including battery cables. Replace any
faulty equipment or tighten if loose.
5. Check hardware for loose or missing nuts, bolts, screws, etc., and tighten or replace as needed.
6. Inspect hydraulic lines for damage or leaks. Never use hands to inspect leaks.

QUICK HITCH
Bunker Rakes are fitted with a Quick Hitch Accessory Mount System. On each mount is a spring loaded
locking mechanism and a lock pin. Remove the lock pin and push down on the spring loaded locking
mechanism and your rear attachment will pull off, so you can easily switch out attachments. The lock pin
acts as a safety device to keep lock pin from opening up when crossing rough terrain.
There are also adjustment screws on the
Quick Hitch Accessory Mount System that
may need to be adjusted for certain rear
attachments. These allow the rear attach-
ment to move from side to side without
touching the rear wheels. Please see
instructions on each individual attachment
that you purchase.
Run machine and test for operation of the
rear attachment by raising and lowering the
assembly and with the attachment down
turn sharp corners in both directions to
ensure rake is not contacting the tires.
