OPERATION

Level  the  box  blade  from  side  to  side  and  front  to
rear using adjustments on the tractor’s 3-point lift.

To  adjust  the  scarifier  shanks,  first  remove  the  pins
which hold the shanks in place. Slide the shanks up
or  down  to  desired  position  and  replace  the  pins.
(Figure 3)

The scarifiers should be adjusted to the lowest posi-
tion  to  penetrate  and  break  up  the  surface  when
moving large volumes of soil. When leveling, the tips
should be positioned to barely chip the surface, and
when  smoothing,  the  tips  should  completely  clear
the ground.

Care  should  be  exercised  during  use  of  the  box
blade  to  prevent  hanging  the  scarifier  points  or  the
blades  on  immovable  objects  or  otherwise  use  the
implement  under  conditions  beyond  its  designed
capacity.

WHEN  EQUIPMENT  IS  TRANSPORTED,  USE
NECESSARY DEVICES REQUIRED BY LOCAL
REGULATIONS  FOR  ADEQUATE  WARNING
TO OPERATORS OF OTHER VEHICLES.

LOWER  THE  BLADE  AS  MUCH  AS  POS-
SIBLE  AND  SECURELY  SUPPORT
BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENT.

Inspect  your  box  scraper  periodically  and  replace
any  worn  or  broken  parts  in  order  to  have  it  ready
for use when needed.

Worn scarifier tips may be replaced by grinding
or  torching  off  the  old  tips  and  welding  on
replacements. 
(Figure 3)

Store the box blade out of the weather when it is not
in use. This helps prevent rusting of the blades and
other components.

SECTION II - MAINTENANCE

Keep all blade nuts and bolts tightened to 175 ft. lbs.
Blades can be reversed to use opposite cutting edge
when needed. (Figure 2)
