and hex nylock nut. Draw nylock nut up snug, do not
tighten.
Level & Pitch Adjustment
Refer to Figure 3-3:
Level and pitch adjustments are the same for both
models of Box Scrapers.
1.
With shanks raised fully up, locate tractor and Box
Scraper on a flat level surface and then lower scraper
down onto the level surface.
2. Place tractor in park, set park brake, shut tractor
engine off, and remove switch key.
3. Place a level on the longer front shank bar.
4. Manually adjust either one or both of the tractor’s
lower 3-point arms up or down to level the scraper
from left to right. Some tractors have only one arm
that is adjustable.
5. Rotate level 90 degrees and then adjust the tractor’s
top center link until unit is leveled from front to back.
NOTE:
Through extensive research and testing,
Land Pride has designed the optimum cutting angle
into your Box Scraper. If needed, shorten top center
link one-half turn at time to increase blade pitch.

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.
Refer to Figure 3-3:
Shank settings are based on the vertical distance
measured from bottom edge of side plates to bottom of
shank tips. Adjust each shank height as follows:
1.
Adjust shank height by unbolting each shank from
the shank lift tube.
2. Raise or lower shank to the desired height.
