SAFETY SIGNAL WORDS

Note the use of the signal words DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION with the safety mes­sages. The appropriate signal word for each has been selected using the following guide­lines:

DANGER: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in

death or serious injury. This signal word is to be limited to the most extreme situa­tions typically for machine components which, for functional purposes, cannot be
guarded.

WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in

death or serious injury, and includes hazards that are exposed when guards are
removed. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, may result in

minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES

Safety of the operator is one of the main concerns in designing and developing a new piece
of equipment. Designers and manufacturers build in as many safety features as possible.
However, every year many accidents occur which could have been avoided by a few sec­onds of thought and a more careful approach to handling equipment. You, the operator,
can avoid many accidents by observing the following precautions in this section. To avoid
personal injury, study the following precautions and insist those working with you, or for
you, follow them.

Replace any CAUTION, WARNING, DANGER or instruction safety decal that is not readable
or is missing. Location of such decals is indicated in this booklet.

Do not attempt to operate this equipment under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Review the safety instructions with all users annually.

This equipment is dangerous to children and persons unfamiliar with its operation. The
operator should be a responsible adult familiar with farm machinery and trained in this
equipment’s operations. Do not allow persons to operate or assemble this unit

until they have read this manual and have developed a thorough understanding
of the safety precautions and of how it works.

To prevent injury or death, use a tractor equipped with a Roll Over Protective System
(ROPS). Do not paint over, remove or deface any safety signs or warning decals on your
equipment. Observe all safety signs and practice the instructions on them.

Never exceed the limits of a piece of machinery. If its ability to do a job, or to do so safely,
is in question - DON’T TRY IT.

MODEL 61 SCRAPER ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1. A suitable hoist or lift should be available for assembly.

2. Pack wheel bearing with grease and install hubs to rear spindles and front axle assem­bly. Be sure to follow the bearing numbers as shown in the parts listing as the front hubs
require different bearings than the rear.

3. Raise actuating frame over bucket and lower into place so that the holes in the arms of
the actuating frame align with the rear hole on each side of the bucket. Insert 1 ¼ ” x 2­11/16” pin (with tab type head) from the inside of the bucket. Secure with 5/8” x 1 ½ ” NF
bolt through bucket side with lockwasher and nut to the outside.

4. Connect actuating arm bars to the front holes in the bucket. In doing so, be sure that
the ear and ear reinforcement on the opposite end of the actuating arm is in the up posi­tion and facing inward. Insert 1 ¼ x 2-11/16 ” pin (with tab type head) from the inside
on the bucket. Secure with 5/8” x 1 ½ ” NF bolt through the bucket side with lockwasher
and nut to the outside.

5. Connect a short chain from the cutting edge to the cross pipe of the actuating frame,
then raise this bucket and actuating assembly over the main frame and lower into place so
that the front of the actuating frame can be connected to the 1 ¾ ” ID bearing on the side
of the main frame. Secure with 1 ¾ ” x 6” pins on each side. Lock these pins in place by
turning the pin until the hole in the head aligns with threaded hole in the actuating frame,
then secure with ½” x 1” NC capscrew and lockwasher.

6. Lift front end of actuating arms and connect to the brackets on the front frame cross
member using the 1 ¼ ” x 4-1/8” pins. Secure with ¼” x 2” cotter pin.

7. Raise the apron assembly over the scraper and lower into position so that the holes in
the arms of the apron align with the holes in the bucket sides. Insert the 1-5/8” to 1 ¼”
shoulder pin through the apron arms and into the bucket. Install lock nut inside the bucket
and tighten securely. Slide actuating link around pin located on apron arm. Install lock
block with 3/8” x 4 ½” NC bolt through link and block. Connect lower end of link to actu­ating arm with 1 ¼” to 1” shoulder pin with 1” lock nut to the outside.

8. Install hydraulic cylinders to main frame and actuating frame with rod end to actuating
frame. Be sure the grease hole in the rod end is facing up. Use 1-1/8 x 3 ¼” pin at the
base of the cylinder. Secure with 3/16” x 1 ½ ” cotter pins. Use 1-1/8 ” x 6” pin at the rod
end of the cylinder. Secure with 1” x ½” NC capscrew and lockwasher.

9. Install ½” 90° swivel adapters into front and rear port on each cylinder. Tighten so that
the hose connection faces the rear.

10. Connect a ½” x 18” hose from the rear port of each cylinder to one of the pipe lines
on the rear cross frame. Be sure both hoses from the rear ports are connected to the same
pipe line.
