Ashland 610 - Manual (Page 5)

Model 610 Scraper Assembly Instructions
1. A suitable hoist or lift should be available for assembly.
2. Install rear spindles to frame in the lowest possible setting to obtain the maximum spreading
depth between the cutting edge and ground. If less depth of spread is desired, select a lower
setting or reverse the spindle - bottom to top.
3. Pack wheel bearing with grease and install hubs to rear spindles and front axle assembly. Be
sure to follow the bearing numbers as shown in the parts listing as the front hubs require
different bearings than the rear.
4. Raise actuating frame over bucket and lower into place so that the holes in the arms of the
actuating frame align with the rear hole on each side of the bucket. Insert 1 ¼” x 2-11/16” pin
(with tab head) from the inside of the bucket. Secure with 5/8” x 1 ½” NF bolt through bucket
side with lockwasher and nut to outside.
5. Connect actuating arm bars to front holes in the bucket. In doing so, be sure that the ear and
ear reinforcement on the opposite end of the actuating arm are in the up position and facing
inward. Insert 1 ¼” x 2-11/16 pin (with tab head) from the inside of the bucket. Secure with
5/8” x 1 ½” NF bolt through the bucket side with lockwasher and nut to the outside.
6. Connect a short chain from the cutting edge to the cross pipe of the actuating frame, then
raise this bucket and actuating assembly over the main frame and lower into place so that the
front of the actuating frame can be connected to the 1 ¾“ ID bearing on the side of the
frame. Secure with 1 ¾” x 6” pins on each side. Lock these pins in place by turning the pin
until the hole in the head aligns with thread hole in the actuating frame, then secure with ½” x
1” NC capscrew and lockwasher.
7. Lift front end of actuating arms and connect to the brackets on the front frame cross-member
using the 1 ¼” x 4-1/8” pins. Secure with ¼” x 2” cotter pins.
8. Raise the apron assembly over the scraper and lower into position so that the holes in the arm
of the apron align with the holes in the bucket sides. Insert the 1-5/8” to 1¼ ” shoulder pins
through the apron arms and into the bucket. Install lock nut inside the bucket and tighten
securely. Slide actuating link around pin located on apron arm. Install lock block with two 3/8” x
4 ½” NX bolts through link and block. Connect lower end of link to actuating arm with 1 ¼ ” to
1” shoulder pin with 1” lock nut to the outside.
9. Installing hydraulic cylinders
A. Install the cylinder with three hose ports on the left side of the scraper with the rod end to
the actuating frame and the grease hole in the rod end bushing facing up. Use 1-1/8” x 3 ¼”
pin at the base of the cylinder. Secure with 3/16” x 1 ½” cotter pins. Use 1-1/8” x 6” pin at
the rod end of the cylinder. Secure with ½” x 1” NC capscrew and lockwasher.
B. Install ½” NPT 90° swivel adapter in all three ports of the cylinder. Tighten so that the
swivel will be facing toward the rear. The extreme forward swivel will have to be turned slightly
to the outside so that the hose will clear the swivel in the center port.
C. Connect a ½” x 18” hose from the forward pipe line on the frame cross-member to the
