Ashland 70S - Manual (Page 7)

11.Connect a ½” x 18” hose from the rear port of each cylinder to one of the pipe lines in
the rear cross frame. Be sure both hoses from the rear ports are connected to the same
pipe line.
12.Connect a ½” x 38” hose from the front port of each cylinder to the remaining pipe line
on the rear cross-member of the frame.
13.Install the apron actuating links (linkage with built-in spring) to the bracket on each apron
arm (Point E), using the 1-5/8” to 1-1/4” shoulder pins (with grease hole in threaded
end). Secure with 1-1/4” NF lock nut (thin). Be certain the open end of the tube contain-
ing spring is downward.
14.Connect the opposite end of the apron actuating links, referred to in step 10, to the
bracket on the front frame cross-member, referred to in step 9, adjacent to the actuating
arms connected from the bucket (Point D). Insert the pins the remainder of the way and
secure tab to bracket with ½” NC x 1-1/4” capscrew and lockwasher
15.Raise the rear of frame and install wheels to hubs. Also install wheels to front axle as-
sembly.
(Steps 14 and 15 refer to model 70D scrapers only)
16.Raise the front of the frame and remove the two 5/8” x 4” bolts which hold the cast
socket halves inside the gooseneck post. Remove the socket halves.
17. Roll the pole and axle assembly directly under the gooseneck and place the cast socket
halves around the ball swivel on the axle. Lower the frame into place so that the socket
halves seat into the gooseneck. (If necessary, clamp halves together with C-clamp while
lowering gooseneck.) Replace the two 5/8” x 4” bolts and tighten securely. Install a long
shank grease fitting into hole provided.
18.Install all the grease fittings and grease liberally.
19.If possible, place assembled scraper on level floor or pavement and measure the distance
from the cutting edge to floor, on both left and right sides, and then adjust rear spindles
to obtain equal distance on both sides.
