ASHLAND SCRAPERS
Instruction: Operation and Maintenance
This scraper is a durable piece of equipment and with proper care will yield many years of trouble free
operation. The life of your scraper can be severely shortened by poor maintenance. Follow consistent
maintenance practices and use good quality grease and hydraulic oil (compatible with the power unit’s
hydraulic system) to insure the longest, most productive use from your equipment.
Before startin
g
the
j
ob, make sure Di
gg
ers Hot Line has been contacted and all under
g
round utilities have
been properly located (electric, phone and pipelines). Have a clear understanding of all local, OSHA and
MSHA rules that apply to the job. Beware of your environment and keep others a safe distance from the
machine while familiarizing yourself with the machine’s controls. The scraper requires a power source
with TWO 4 way (double acting) hydraulic control valves.
The scraper should be greased at all points where grease fittings are provided. Connect hydraulic hoses
to the tractor and retract lift cylinders to REMOVE TRANSPORT LOCK PINS, then extend and retract
all cylinders several times to force out any air from the hydraulic cylinders and lines. Check the oil levels
in the tractor hydraulic system and add to maintain the proper level. Care should be used when adding
oil or when disconnecting any oil line to keep all dirt out of the oil as dirt is a major factor in the failure of
hydraulic components. Each time the scraper is hooked to a power unit, the sequencing valve needs to
be checked for proper timing. This will insure optimum performance from the scraper.
When the scraper is placed into operation, the operator will have to “feel out” the amount of depth of
cut to obtain maximum loading efficiency. This is usually accomplished by taking a lesser and more
uniform cut; however, some soil conditions such as loose sand may require a “pumping action” obtained
by taking successive deep cuts and lifting out of cut as the tractor begins to lose power or traction. The
operation of the scraper will varydepending upon soil type, moisture content, power-unit and jobsite.
Results will vary.
1. After 10 hours work, all bolts should be checked and tightened if necessary.
2. Every 10 hours all grease fittings should be lubricated.
3. After 50 hours work, all bolts should be rechecked and tightened if necessary.
Check wheel bearings and adjust if necessary.
4. After 300 hours work, clean and repack wheel bearings and replace, if necessary,
cutting edges, worn pins, etc.

Instruction: Operation and Maintenance
SCRAPER DAMAGE CAN OCCUR IF :
1. The scraper is running over the haul road with the bowl fully raised.
2. A power unit that is above the horsepower rating is pulling the scraper.
3. The scraper is being used to level haul roads with the apron closed.
4. The scraper is being top loaded with the bowl is a raised position.
5. The scraper is being used to load rock.
These types of damage are notcovered by warranty. Warranty only covers defects in material or
workmanship and not abuse because of improper use.
KNOW THE JOB:
1. Know the weight of the material to be moved.
2. Lay the job out to take advantage of grades when loading, if possible.
3. Keep hauls as short as possible.
4. Keep haul roads smooth.
5. If more than one unitis on the job, make sure the haulroads are one wayand that the
operators understand the direction.
6. Brief the operators as to what the job consists of so there is not misunderstanding.
7. Know the moisture content in the material to be moved.
8. Will water be needed for proper compaction?
9. Will drainage be a problem?
10. How many units will be needed to efficiently complete the job?
TRANSPORT SCRAPER SAFELY:
1. Always empty scraper.
2. Clean all material from exterior of scraper.
3. Make sure all road rules are followed .
4. Use proper lighting and flagging.
5. Lower scraper bowls to provide just enough clearance over obstacles.
6. Transport at a safe speed to avoid roll over .
7. Reduce speed on curves and when going down hill.

APRON OPENING GUIDELINES:
You will need to determine the ideal opening for your soil condition. It is important to have the apron
opened prior to loading To receive the highest production possible, it is important to know the general
characteristics of the material that you will be loading. In heavier soils like clay or gumbo, the soil will
slab up and and remain together after being cut by the blades. In li
g
hter soils, like sand or dry loose top
soil, the matieral will pile up or push after being cut by the blade. Use the suggestions listed below:
Topsoil with heavy vegetation (12” to 24” opening):
When cutting undisturbed soils, you will need to open the apron high enough to allow debris to easily
enter the scraper bowl. If the apron is opened too high, the rolling up sod will fall out past the apron
and hinder the incoming material. If the apron is not adjusted quick enough, the material will bunch or
push ahead of the machine. If this happens, you should close the apron and pull out the cut quickly. If
you wait too long, you may develop too large a pile to clear the scraper while rising out of the cut. This
can cause the power unit to lose traction and possibly cause you to get stuck.
Clay or loamy material (6” to 12” opening):
To cut clay or loam soils, lower the apron to approximately 6” to 12” between the blades and the bottom
of the apron. When you first lower the bowl, you’ll see the material being cut by the blades and
enterin
g
the bowl. As you continue to move forward, small clumps will fall past the apron and develop a
small pile ahead of the apron. By limiting this apron opening, the small pile will “blade off” any loose
material ahead of the machine. Adjustments should be made if large objects such as rocks or deep
gouges are within the cut.
Sand or loose top soil (15” to 30” opening):
Loading sand or loose top soil is the most difficult type of soil to load. In combination with the larger
apron opening, you’ll want to operate at a faster ground speed. By traveling faster and lowering the
blade deeper than normal, it forces the material into the scraper bowl.
We encourage you to experiment with different apron openings to determine the best condition for your
jobsite.
The Apron is designed to capture material inside of the scraper bowl and should not be used as a large
blade. Obstructions like large rocks or dense piles may cause the apron to bend inward after prolonged
exposure to these conditions.
