OPERATOR AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

The scraper is a durable piece of equipment and with proper care will yield many years of
trouble free operation. The scraper requires a power source with one 4-way (double
acting) hydraulic control valve.

After scraper has been assembled, it should be greased at all points where grease fittings
are provided. Connect hydraulic hoses to tractor and operate the scraper to maximum
raise and drop several times to force any air from the hydraulic lines and cylinders. Check
the oil level in the tractor hydraulic system and add to maintain the proper level.

When the scraper is placed into operation, the operator will have to ”feel out” the amount
of depth of cut to obtain maximum loading efficiency. This is usually accomplished by
taking a lesser and more uniform cut. However, some soil conditions such as loose sand
may require a “pumping action” obtained by taking successive deep cuts and lifting out of
cut as the tractor begins to lose power or traction.

1. After 10 hours work, all bolts should be checked and tightened if necessary.

2. Every 10 hours all grease fittings should be lubricated.

3. After 50 hours work, all bolts should be rechecked and tightened if necessary. Check
wheel bearings and adjust if necessary.

4. After 300 hours work, clean and repack wheel bearings and replace, if necessary, cut­ting edges, worn pins, etc.

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.
