ASHLAND SCRAPERS
Operators and Maintenance
This scraper is a durable piece of equipment and with proper care will yield many years of trouble free
operation. The life of your scraper can be severely shortened by poor maintenance. Follow consistent
maintenance practices and use good quality grease and hydraulic oil (compatible with the power unit’s
hydraulic system) to insure the longer, most productive use from your equipment
Before starting the job, make sure Diggers Hot Line has been contacted and all underground utilities have
been properly located (electric, phone and pipelines). Have a clear understanding of all local, OSHA and
MSHA rules that apply to the job. Beware of your environment and keep others a safe distance from the
machine while familiarizing yourself with the machine’s controls. The scraper requires a power source
with TWO 4-way (double acting) hydraulic control valves.
The scraper should be greased at all points where grease fittings are provided. Connect hydraulic hoses
to the tractor and retract lift cylinders to REMOVE TRANSPORT LOCK PINS , then extend and retract
all cylinders several times to force out any air from the hydraulic cylinders and lines. Check the oil levels
in the tractor hydraulic system and add to maintain the proper level. Care should be used when adding
oil or when disconnecting any oil line to keep all dirt out of the oil as dirt is a major factor in the failure of
hydraulic components.
When the scraper is placed into operation, the operator will have to “feel out” the amount of depth of cut
to obtain maximum loading efficiency. This is usually accomplished by taking a lesser and more uniform
cut; however, some soil conditions such as loose sand may require a “pumping action” obtained by taking
successive deep cuts and lifting out of cut as the tractor begins to lose power or traction.
1.
After 10 hours work, all bolts should be checked and tightened if necessary.
2.
Every 10 hours all grease fittings should be lubricated.
3.
After 50 hours work, all bolts should be rechecked and tightened if necessary. Check wheel
bearings and adjust if necessary.
4.
After 300 hours work, clean and repack wheel bearings and replace, if necessary, cutting edges,
worn pins, etc.
