OPERATORS 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 TWO 4 way (double

acting) hydraulic control valves.

The scraper should be greased at all points where grease fittings are provided. Connect

hydraulic hoses to the tractor and retract lift cylinders to remove transport lock pins,

then extend and retract all cylinders several times to force out any 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 used when adding oil or when disconnecting any oil line

to keep all dirt out of the oil as dirt is a major factor in the failure of hydraulic components.

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.
