USING RIATARAKE RIPPER TEETH:
The Riata Rake is optionally equipped with rip-
per teeth. These teeth are used for periodical
maintenance. They should be used to break up
hard compact arena ground
above
your base.
You should never rip below your base as you
may introduce the native soil to your arena foot-
ing.
Always adjust your tines up away from the foot-
ing using the ratchet jack before ripping.
Place ripper teeth in working position at the
desired depth. Be sure all teeth are at the same
depth. Be sure all pins are in place and secure.
You will notice that the RiataRake ripper design
uses the rear comb as the gauge for the rippers.
This ensures uniform ripping across the entire
arena. Before you begin to rip, your arena must
be level as the rippers will gauge in the surface.
The rippers have 3 different adjustment methods
for positioning your rippers.
1. Raise or lower the rippers using the bracket
hole closest to the tractor and selecting the set
hole in the ripper shank.
2. Use the bracket hole away from the tractor to
achieve more angled setting. This is helpful in
some types of are footing material.
3. Adjust the top link to further adjust the depth
of your rippers. NOTE: be sure to re-level the
mast before you condition with the tines after
ripping.
