DANGER
Make adjustments to the Retractable Box Scraper after it has
been properly attached to a tractor and secured with solid
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.
!
CAUTION
Always keep your feet and legs 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 3-1:
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. Remove hairpin cotter (#1) and shank pin(#2).
2. Adjust shank (#3) up or down to the desired hole
setting and then replace shank pin and secure with
hairpin cotter.
Level and Pitch Adjustment
1. Adhere to “Shank Adjustments” safety precautions
on this page. Remove shanks located between hitch
straps and raise all other shanks fully up.
2. Locate tractor and scraper on a flat lever surface.
Lower scraper down onto the level surface, 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.
