OPERATING TECHNIQUES - BOX SCRAPER
Adjusting Top Link
The box scraper is leveled by adjusting the length of the tractor's top link.
●Shortening the top link will deepen the scarifier tooth penetration.
●Lengthening the top link will provide better scrap- ing and leveling action.
Experience will allow the operator to determine the best setting for each application.
Backfilling
1.Raise or remove scarifier shanks (see page 13).
2.Lower the blade to the ground and back up into the fill material.
3.Shorten the top link to raise the cutting blade and control how much the blade digs in.
Scarifying
1.Place the scarifier shanks in position with the points facing toward the tractor.
2.Lock into position with the pins provided. The lowest shank position provides the greatest ground penetration.
3.Lower the box scraper and drive the tractor ahead to begin the scarifying operation.
4.Adjust the depth of the scarifier by tilting the unit with the tractor top link. Shortening the top link will provide deeper and more aggressive operation.
Scraping
1.Raise or remove the scarifier shanks (see page 13). Lower the box scraper and drive forward to move material.
2.Adjust the depth of the blade by tilting the unit with the tractor top link.
●Shortening the top link when scraping will trans- fer more weight on the front of the scraper and will raise the cutting blade to provide a more shallow cut.
●When the top link is adjusted properly, the bowl of the blade should fill easily and material can be pulled to a desired location.
Leveling
1.Raise or remove scarifier shanks.
2.Shorten the top link so the cutting edge clears the ground.
3.Drive forward with the box scraper in this position and loose material will be leveled.
Storage
To help prevent injury caused by a falling imple- ment, always detach on a hard level surface.
Block equipment securely for storage.
Do not climb or lean on stored equipment.
Keep children and bystanders away from stor- age area.
