4.8 Checks
The working quality depends on the
adjustments and checks made prior to and
during work, as well as on regular servicing
and maintenance of the machine.
Before beginning work it is therefore
important to carry out any necessary servicing
and to lubricate the machine as required.
Checks prior to, and during
work:
• Is the machine correctly hitched up and the
coupling device locked?
• Have the hydraulic lines been connected
according to the colour coding?
• Is the machine in a level operating position
and the working depth set correctly?
Working Elements
• Are the elements of the machine in a
serviceable condition?
4.7 Parking the machine
In order to avoid damage as a result of
moisture, the machine should be parked, if
possible, indoors or under cover.
When manoeuvring the machine,
pay attention to your surroundings.
Ensure that nobody is in the
manoeuvring area (watch for
children!).
With the machine in the transport position:
• Park the machine on level and solid ground.
• Raise the machine and remove shims from
the lift axle cylinder.
• Lower the machine to the ground, ensuring
that it is stable.
• Remove the drawbar pin and drive forward
slowly until hitch is clear of tractor drawbar.
• Switch off the tractor.
• Disconnect hydraulic lines from the tractor.

4.6 Work Instructions
Driving speed
In work, the Box Scraper can be driven at
speeds of up to 6 km/h.
This depends on the field conditions (type of
soil, levelness of field, etc.).
Drive more slowly if the conditions are difficult.
Turning:
Before turning, the scraper bowl
should be eased out of work.
Likewise, it should eased back into
work once the turn has been
completed.
