Maintenance
Before servicing the Box Blade, engage the
parking break or place the transmission in
“PARK”, shut off tractor, and remove key.
1. Make certain any safety and instruction decals
are attached to the Box Blade 3-Point hitch. If
they are lost, damaged, or painted over, order
replacements from Behlen Country at
1-800-447-2751.
2. Clean unit of dirt and debris to minimize
rusting and wear.
3. Keep cutting edges sharp. Sharp cutting
edges work easier and better. Check more
often if working in rocky soil conditions.
5. Replace any worn or damaged parts
immediately.
6. Check all bolts and nuts to make sure they are
tight.
7. NEVER go underneath equipment. Never
place any part of the body underneath
equipment or between movable parts even
when the engine is turned off. Servicing this
Box Blade does not require going underneath.

necessary for removing the shanks or cutting
edges.

or installing scarifier shank clips.
