OPERATION
Level the box blade from side to side and front to rear using adjustments on the tractor’s
To adjust the scarifier shanks, first remove the pins which hold the shanks in place. Slide the shanks up or down to desired position and replace the pins. (Figure 3)
The scarifiers should be adjusted to the lowest posi- tion to penetrate and break up the surface when moving large volumes of soil. When leveling, the tips should be positioned to barely chip the surface, and when smoothing, the tips should completely clear the ground.
Care should be exercised during use of the box blade to prevent hanging the scarifier points or the blades on immovable objects or otherwise use the implement under conditions beyond its designed capacity.
CAUTION
WHEN EQUIPMENT IS TRANSPORTED, USE NECESSARY DEVICES REQUIRED BY LOCAL REGULATIONS FOR ADEQUATE WARNING TO OPERATORS OF OTHER VEHICLES.
SECTION II - MAINTENANCE
Keep all blade nuts and bolts tightened to 175 ft. lbs.
Blades can be reversed to use opposite cutting edge when needed. (Figure 2)
CAUTION
LOWER THE BLADE AS MUCH AS POS- SIBLE AND SECURELY SUPPORT BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENT.
Inspect your box scraper periodically and replace any worn or broken parts in order to have it ready for use when needed.
Worn scarifier tips may be replaced by grinding or torching off the old tips and welding on replacements. (Figure 3)
Store the box blade out of the weather when it is not in use. This helps prevent rusting of the blades and other components.
