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.
Refer to Figure 1-1 on page 6:
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 (#7)
into the bottom slots in shank tube.
4. Push each shank up until the lowest hole in the shank
is aligned with lock pin (#8) hitch holes.
5. Secure shanks with lock pins (#8) and hairpin
cotters (#9).
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 from implement. Do not operate
hydraulic controls while a person or animal is directly behind
the power machine or near the implement.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Lightweight tractors with rear attached implements may
need weights added to the front to maintain steering control.
Consult your tractor Operator’s Manual to determine
proper weight requirements and maximum weight
NOTE:
instructions on how to adjust shank depth.
Tractor 3-Point Hitch
Figure 1-2
•
Always shut tractor down using “Tractor Shutdown
Procedure” provided in this manual before allowing anyone
including the operator to hook-up and unhook implement.
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 hitch 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 the tractor's
3-point hydraulic control up and down to check for
clearance between the tires, frame, drawbar etc.
Move or remove drawbar if it interferes with the Box
Scraper.
6. Manually adjust one of the two lower lift arms up or
down to level the Box Scraper from left to right.
7.
Manually adjust the length of the top-link to level the
Box Scraper from front to rear.
8. Ensure that the lower arms are blocked to prevent
excessive side movement.
