Section D – Operations
Using the Scarifier
The Scarifier attachment may be used for loosening surfaces such as hard dirt, compact gravel, etc.
1.
Lower the Scarifier using the Scarifier Control Level. Enter the material gradually while
traveling forward in a straight line at slow speed.
2.
Use all seven Shanks in most conditions. Use fewer Shanks in more severe conditions.
3.
Keep the Scarifier deep enough to fully utilize Engine power without slipping the tires.
4.
On grades, rip downhill to use the weight of the machine.
5.
Cross rip only when required for a special purpose.
6.
To break up paved surfaces, dig under the surface and then raise the Scarifier.
NOTE
To avoid damage, raise the Scarifier out of the ground BEFORE turning.
End of Work Session
1.
Always check the hydraulic fluid level at operating temperature, preferably at the end
of the work day. Park on a level surface and stop the Engine according to the
Mandatory Safety Shutdown Procedures in Section A - Safety, of this manual. Lower
the Loader Boom and Tool Bar completely.
NOTE
The Hydraulic Reservoir is full if fluid is visible in the Sight Gauge. When adding fluid, fill ONLY
until fluid can be seen in the Sight Gauge. Note that you must retract all cylinders. Having the hydraulic
cylinders extended will cause the level in the hydraulic tank to be below the sight gauge window. When
all hydraulic cylinders are retracted there should be a “line” level of fluid in the sight gauge window.
2.
Check the Air Cleaner Pre-Cleaner.
3.
Check all Cylinders for signs of leaks.
4.
Secure the machine.
NOTE
Always fill the Fuel Reservoir completely at the end of the working day to prevent moisture
condensation from occurring overnight.
