• Check the tractor master shield over the PTO
stub shaft. Make sure it is in good condition
and fastened securely to the tractor.
• Make sure all safety stickers are installed and
in good condition. Replace if damaged.
•
Do NOT allow riders. There is no safe place
for anyone to ride or sit on tractor or
implement.
• Check that all equipment is properly installed
and securely attached to the tractor.
Operation
If you have any questions regarding the
proper operation of this Box Blade, contact
your dealer or the manufacturer.
It is the responsibility of the operator to see that
no one else is within twenty-five feet (25’) of the
tractor when it is started.
• Raise or lower Box Scraper and shanks to
determine how much or how little material you
would like to move.
• The deeper you set the shanks, the slower
you will need to go with your tractor and the
more stress you put on the Box Scraper as
well as the tractor. It is better to take less
material and do it more times than to try to do
it all in one pass.
• This unit can be used to push, but is really
made to be pulled. If you are pushing, be
very careful not to over bind the Lift and Tie
Arms on the Box Scraper. Damage can also
occur to the Top Link on the tractor as well as
the tractor lift arms.
• Lower blade to ground and start moving
forward. Your speed will be determined by the
condition of the soil. You may need to use
less or more angle depending on the job.
•
Speed of the tractor should not exceed 5
mph.
• When you are turning, lift the unit from the
ground.
• Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid
sharp drops to prevent “hanging up” the
tractor and blade.
• Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain
during operation.
DO NOT TAKE A DITCH AT 90° (straight on)!
Always go in at an angle or damage may
occur.
Before dismounting power unit or performing
any adjustments to the Box Blade, make sure
to disengage power to equipment, lower
3-Point hitch and all raised components to
the ground, operate valve levers to release
any hydraulic pressure, set parking break,
stop engine, remove key and allow implement
to come to a complete stop before
dismounting tractor. Never leave equipment
unattended with tractor running.
It is essential that everyone involved in the
operation, transportation, maintenance, and
storage of this equipment be aware,
concerned, prudent and properly trained in
safety.
The shanks are extremely sharp. Exercise
extreme caution when working around or near
the scarifier shanks . Failure to stay clear of
the blade edges can result in serious injury.
Stop IMMEDIATELY upon striking an
obstruction. Turn off engine, remove key,
inspect, and repair any damage before
resuming operation. Never leave the seat of
the tractor while engine is engaged.
Watch for hidden obstructions, like buried
pipes, rocks, concrete piers or uneven slabs
of concrete when operating the Box Blade as
damage to the unit can occur. This is
especially true with snow removal.
