Shank Assembly
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Make adjustments to the implement after it has been properly
attached to a tractor and secured with solid non-concrete
supports in the up position. Never work around or under
equipment supported by hydraulics. Hydraulics can drop
equipment instantly if controls are actuated or if hydraulic
lines burst even when power to hydraulics is shut off.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Always keep your body extremities out from under the
shanks while adjusting them. It is possible for the shanks to
fall causing injury to your feet and/or legs.
•
Keep clear of the shank slots while adjusting shank height.
Shanks can pinch body parts in the slots during adjustments.
1.
Before installing shanks (#3), manually raise front
shank tube (#1) up to insert shanks from the bottom
or attach scraper to a tractor’s 3-Point hitch and raise
unit up with tractor’s 3-Point lift arms.
2. Securely support scraper in the raised position with
support jacks or blocks.
3. With shank tips pointing forward, insert shanks (#3)
into the bottom slots in shank tube (#1).
4. Push each shank up until the lowest notch in the
shank catches in the slot on top of the shank tube.
5. Secure shanks in the top slot by inserting spring
retainer clips (#2) into the slots behind each shank
until they snap into place.
NOTE:

3-Point Hook-up
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death: A crushing hazard exists
while hooking-up and unhooking implement. Keep people and
animals away while backing-up to implement or pulling away

WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death: Always shut tractor down
using “Tractor Shutdown Procedure” provided in this manual
before allowing anyone including the operator to hook-up and
A 3-Point Category I hitch is required. The lower 3-Point
arms of the 3-Point hitch must be stabilized to prevent
side-to-side movement. Most tractors have sway blocks
or adjustable chains for this purpose.
1.
Slowly back tractor up to the Box Scraper and use
tractor’s 3-Point hydraulic control to align lower hitch
link holes with clevis lug holes on the Box Scraper.
2. Engage tractor park brake, shut tractor engine off and
remove key before dismounting from tractor.
3. With tractor’s lower lift arms aligned and positioned in
the clevises, attach lower arms to the clevises with
hitch pins and secure with linchpins.
4. Connect top center link to the upper hitch using clevis
pin and hairpin cotter.
5. Return to the tractor and slowly operate 3-Point
hydraulic control lever to fully raise and lower Box
Scraper while checking for clearances between the
scraper and tractor tires, drawbar etc. Move or
remove drawbar if it interferes with the scraper.
6. Ensure that the lower arms are stabilized to prevent
excessive side movement.
