Section 4: Maintenance
Maintenance
Proper servicing and adjustment are key to the long life of
any implement. With careful inspection and routine
maintenance, you can avoid costly downtime and repair.
Check all bolts after using the unit for several hours to be
sure they are tight. Replace any worn, damaged, or
illegible safety labels by obtaining new labels from your
Land Pride dealer.
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Always secure equipment with solid, non-concrete supports
before working under it. Never go under equipment supported
by concrete blocks or hydraulics. Concrete can break,
hydraulic lines can burst, and/or hydraulic controls can be
actuated even when power to hydraulics is off.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Allow only persons to perform maintenance on this
implement who have been properly trained in its safe
•
Perform scheduled maintenance. Check for loose
hardware, missing parts, broken parts, structural cracks,
and excessive wear. Make repairs before putting implement
back into service. Serious breakdowns can result in injury
•
Do not alter implement or replace parts on the implement
with other brands. Other brands may not fit properly or
meet OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer)
specifications. They can weaken the integrity and impair the
safety, function, performance, and life of the implement.
Replace parts only with genuine OEM parts.
•
Always keep your body extremities out from under the
shanks and cutting blades while removing, installing, and
adjusting them. It is possible for the cutting blades and/or
shanks to fall causing injury to your body.
Shank Tips
Shank tips are removable by heating them in the dimpled
area on both sides and knocking them off with a blunt
punch. New shank tips need to be dimpled with a punch
after they are installed.
Cutting Blades
The front and rear cutting blades (#3) have two cutting
edges. Replace cutting blades when both edges are
worn out.

flange lock nuts (#2) for wear. Replace as needed.
3. Reattach blade (#3) and torque nuts to the correct
torque.
Long-Term Storage
Clean, inspect, service, and make necessary repairs to
the Box 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 next
time you hook-up to it.
1.
Clean off any dirt that may have accumulated on the
scraper and cutting blade. Scrape off compacted dirt
and then wash surfaces thoroughly with a garden
hose.
2. Check cutting blades and plow bolts for wear and
replace if necessary. For additional instructions, see
3. Inspect Box Scraper for loose, damaged, or worn
parts. Adjust and tighten loose parts. When needed,
replace parts with genuine Land Parts only.
4. Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to
prevent rust. Ask your dealer for Land Pride 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. A light coating of oil or grease may be applied to the
lower cutting blades, inside the mold board, and
inside the side panels in lieu of paint to minimize
oxidation.
6. Replace all damaged or missing decals.
7.
Store Box Scraper on a level surface in a clean, dry
place. Inside storage will reduce maintenance and
make for a longer scraper life.
