Ashland 80S - Manual (Page 7)

12.Connect a ½” x 38” hose from the front port of each cylinder to the remaining pipe line
on the rear cross frame.
13.Install front apron gate and secure with 1 ¼” to 1 5/8” shoulder pin with zerk in head
end. (Point F)
14.Install the two apron actuating links (open spring end toward front of scraper). Secure
at Point E with 1 ¼” to 1-5/8” shoulder pin having zerk in threaded end. Secure at
Point G with 1 ½” flat washer and ¼” x 2” cotter pin.
15.Raise the rear of frame and install wheels to hubs. Also install wheels to front axle
assembly.
(Steps 14 and 15 refer to model 80D scrapers only)
16.Raise the front of the frame and remove the two 5/8” x 3 ½” bolts which hold the cast
socket halves inside the gooseneck post. Remove the socket halves.
17. Roll the pole and axle assembly directly under the gooseneck and place the cast socket
halves around the ball swivel on the axle. Lower the frame into place so that the socket
halves seat into the gooseneck. (If necessary, clamp halves together with C-clamp while
lowering gooseneck.) Replace the two 5/8” x 3 ½” bolts and tighten securely. Install a
long shank zerk into hole provided on front of gooseneck post.
18.Install all the grease fittings and grease liberally.
19.If possible, place assembled scraper on level floor or pavement and measure the dis-
tance from the cutting edge to floor, on both left and right sides, and then adjust rear
spindles to obtain equal distance on both sides if necessary.
Addendum:
There are mating surfaces between the offset bar of the actuating frame and the side
wall of the bucket where a rubbing action occurs. Likewise, there is a spot between the
offset bar of the actuating frame and the inside of the main frame on left and right
sides. Apply a film of grease at these locations.
The rubbing action at these locations is intentional to support the bucket while in opera-
tion.
