OPERATION
Operation 11
ADJUSTING TOP LINK
The box blade is leveled by adjusting the length of
the tractor’s top link.
• Shortening the top link will deepen the scarier
tooth penetration.
• Lengthening the top link will provide better
scraping and leveling action.
Experience will allow the operator to determine the
best setting for the application being done.
SCARIFYING
1. Place the scarier shanks in position with the
points facing toward the tractor.
2. Lock into position with the lock keys provided.
The lower shank position provides the greatest
ground penetration.
3. Lower the box blade and drive the tractor ahead
to begin the scarifying operation.
4. Adjust the depth of the scarier by tilting the
unit with the tractor top link. Shortening the top
link will provide deeper and more aggressive
operation.
SCRAPING
1. Raise or remove the scarier shanks. Lower the
box blade and drive forward to move material.
2. Adjust the depth of the blade by tilting the unit
with the tractor top link. Shortening the top link
when scraping will transfer more weight on the
front of the blade and will raise the cutting blade
to provide a more shallow cut.
NOTE: When the top link is adjusted properly, the
bowl of the blade should ll easily and material can
be pulled to a desired location.
3. To change the level of the blade, shorten or
lengthen the tractor lift arm tilt link to provide
the correct slope.
4. Spread material by gradually raising the box
blade as the tractor moves forward.
NOTE: Top link adjustment for loose or previously
scaried material will differ from adjustment for
hard or compacted material.
BACKFILLING
1. Raise or remove scarier shanks.
2. Lower the blade to the ground and back up into
the ll material.
3. Shorten the top link to raise the cutting blade and
control how much the blade digs in.
LEVELING
1. Raise or remove scarier shanks.
2. Shorten the top link so the cutting edge clears
the ground.
3. Drive forward with the box blade in this position
and loose material will be leveled.
CLEANING
After Each Use
• Remove large debris such as clumps of dirt, grass,
crop residue, etc. from machine.
• Inspect machine and replace worn or damaged
parts.
• Replace any safety decals that are missing or not
readable.
Periodically or Before Extended Storage
• Clean large debris such as clumps of dirt, grass,
crop residue, etc. from machine.
• Remove the remainder using a low-pressure water
spray.
1. Be careful when spraying near scratched or
torn safety decals or near edges of decals as
water spray can peel decal off surface.
2. Be careful when spraying near chipped or
scratched paint as water spray can lift paint.
3. If a pressure washer is used, follow the advice
of the pressure washer manufacturer.
• Inspect machine and replace worn or damaged
parts.
• Sand down scratches and the edges of areas
of missing paint and coat with spray paint of
matching color (purchase from your dealer).
• Replace any safety decals that are missing or
not readable (supplied free by your dealer). See
Safety Decals section for location drawing.
