OPERATORS AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

his scr aper 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 TWO 4 way (double actin

The scraper should be greased at all points where grease fittings are provided. Conne ct hydraulic
hoses to the tractor and retract lift cylinde rs to REMOVE TRANSPORT LOCK PINS, then extend and
retract all cylinders several times to force out an y air from the hydraulic cylinders and lines. Check the oil
levels in the tractor hydraulic system and add to maintain the proper level. Care should be use d when
addin g oil or when disconne cting any oi l line to keep a ll dirt out of the oil as dirt is a major factor in t he
fa ilure of hy drau lic component s .

When th e scraper is placed into operat ion , t he operator will have to “feel out” the amount of dept h of
cut to ob tain maximum loading e fficiency. This is usually ac complished by taking a lesser and more
uniform cut; howe ver, some soil co nditions such as loose sand may require a “pumping action” obtained
by taking succes sive d eep cuts and lifting out of cut as the tractor b egins to lose pow er or tra ction.

1. After 1 0 hours work, all bo lts should be checked and tightened if necessary.

2. Every 10 hours all grease fittings should be lubricate d.

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 whe el bearings and replace, if neces sary, cutting edg e s,
worn pins, etc.
