Excessive Shaking

  1. What is causing my tires to shake?

    • If there is excessive shaking with the wheels it can be caused by a couple things.                                  

    • The speed at which you are going, the weight of the bag, and the surface you are traveling on.

    • If your wheels are shaking quite a bit, you may need to slow down.

    • The faster you go the more the wheels will shake, so try slowing down, most often that will fix it.

    • If you are driving across pavement or a similar hard surface, the wheels may start to shake excessively; this is normal, since the Cyclone Rake is designed to work on your yard.

2. Is the bag empty or full?

  • The lighter the bag, the more it will shake.

  • As you add weight, the shaking should continue

3. Did you check your tire pressure?

  • If you have our Dual-PRO Super Wheels, you want to make sure your tire pressure is anywhere between 12-15 psi per tire.  

  • If you have our Single Wheels, you want to make sure your tire pressure is anywhere between 20-25 psi per tire.

Often it is a mix of or all of the above issues, so reducing whatever factors you can, will always help.

Thanks for being a Cyclone Rake customer and we hope this troubleshooting guide has helped resolve your issue!
