ADJUSTING TOP LINK
The box scraper is leveled by adjusting the length of the tractor's top link.
●
Shortening the top link will deepen the scarifier 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.
NOTICE
■
This unit is intended to move ground materials such as dirt, sand,
gravel, etc. Unintended use may damage the box scraper.
SCARIFYING
1.
Place the scarifier shanks in position with the points facing toward the
tractor.
2.
Lock into position with the lock pins provided. The lower shank position
provides the greatest ground penetration.
3.
Lower the box scraper and drive the tractor ahead to begin the scarifying
operation.
4.
Adjust the depth of the scarifier 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 scarifier shanks. Lower the box scraper and drive
forward to move material.
2.
Adjust the depth of the scraper by tilting the unit with the tractor top link.
Shortening the top link when scraping will transfer more weight on the front
of the scraper and will raise the cutting scraper to provide a more shallow
cut.
NOTE:
When the top link is adjusted properly, the bowl of the scraper
should fill easily and material can be pulled to a desired location.
3.
To change the level of the scraper, shorten or lengthen the tractor lift arm tilt
link to provide the correct slope.
4.
Spread material by gradually raising the box scraper as the tractor moves
forward.
NOTE:
Top link adjustment for loose or previously scarified material will
differ from adjustment for hard or compacted material.
BACKFILLING
1.
Raise or remove scarifier shanks.

2.
Lower the scraper to the ground and back up into the fill material.
3.
Shorten the top link to raise the cutting scraper and control how much the
scraper digs in.
LEVELING
1.
Raise or remove scarifier shanks.
2.
Shorten the top link so the cutting edge clears the ground.
3.
Drive forward with the box scraper in this position and loose material will be
leveled.
