Storage
Clean, inspect, service and make necessary repairs to the Pull Type Drag Scraper when parking it for long
periods and when parking it at the end of a working season. This will help ensure that the scraper is ready for
field use the next time you hook up to it.
Always secure scraper in the up position with solid supports before working under the
scraper.
1. Scrape off compacted dirt and then wash scraper surfaces thoroughly with a garden hose.
2. Check grader blade and grader blade mounting bolts for wear. Reverse or replace grader blade if needed.
Replace hardware if worn excessively.
3. Inspect scraper for loose, damaged or worn parts. Adjust and tighten loose parts or replace as needed.
4. Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to prevent rust. Ask your dealer for Bush Hog Aerosol touch
up paint. They are also available in touch up bottles with brush, quarts and gallon sizes by adding TU, QT
or GL to the end of the Aerosol part number.
5. Replace all damaged or missing decals.
6. Apply a light coat of oil or grease to the lower moldboard, side panels, grader blade and exposed hydraulic
cylinder rods to minimize oxidation.
7. Store scraper on a level surface in a clean, dry place. Inside storage will reduce maintenance and make for
a longer scraper file.
8. Follow all unhooking instructions in Operation Section when unhooking scraper from tractor.
Lubrication Points
Lubricate the hubs on your axle assembly before the first use and every 50 hours. These grease fittings can be
found on the inside of each of your hubs.
Proper Torque For Fasteners
The chart lists the correct tightening torque for fasteners. When bolts are to be tightened or replaced, refer to
this chart to determine the grade of bolts and the proper torque except when specific torque values are
assigned in manual text.
Recommended Torque in Foot Pounds Unless Otherwise Stated in the Manual*
NOTE:
These values apply to fasteners as received from supplier, dry or when lubricated with normal engine
oil. They do not apply if special graphited or molydisulphide greases or other extreme pressure lubricants are
used. This applies to both UNF fine and UNC coarse threads.
