Before starting the j ob, make sure Di ggers Hot Line has been co ntacted and all under
have been properly located (electric, phone and pipelines). Have a clear understanding of all local,
OSHA and MSHA rules that apply to the job. Beware of your environment and keep others a safe
distance from the machine while familiarizing y ourself with the machine’s controls. The scraper
requires a power source with TWO 4 way (double acting) hydraulic control valves.

The scraper should be greased at all points where gr ease fittings are provided. Connect hydraulic
h oses to th e trac tor and retract lift cylinders to RE MOVE TRANSPORT LOCK PINS (point A), then
extend and retract all cylinders several times to f orce out any air from the hydraulic c ylinders and
lines. Check the oil levels in the tractor hydraulic system and add to maintain the proper level.
Care should be used when addin
as dir t is a major factor in the failure of hydraulic components. Each time the scraper is holed to a
power unit, the sequencin g valve needs to be checked for proper timing . This will insure optimum
perfo rman ce from th e scraper.

When the scraper is placed into oper ation, th e operator will have to “feel out” the amount of
depth of cut to obtain max i mum load ing efficiency. This is usually accomplished by taking a lesser
and more uniform cut; however, some soil co nditions such as loose san d may require a “pumping
action” obtained by taking succ essive deep cuts and lifting out of cut as the tractor begins to los e
power or traction. The operation of the scraper will vary dependin g upon soil type, moisture
content, power -unit and jobsite. Results will vary.

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 bo lts s ho uld be rechecked and tightened if nec essary.
Check wheel bearings and adjust if necessary.

4. After 300 hours work, clean and repack wheel bearings and replace, if necessary,
