Box Scraper is ready to use!
Attach the completed Box Scraper to the Sleeve Hitch of your tractor, in the middle
hole of the Box Scraper Hitch. Hitch pin (5) furnished with your hitch.
Now the Stabilizer Bolts on the Hitch need to be tightened
against the Yoke on Box Scraper to prevent any "side sway."
• Position the Tractor (with Box Scraper) on a hard, level surface.
• Lower the box scraper and check to make sure it is level side-to-side,
loosen the four 3/8" carriage bolts holding the box scraper to the post
to adjust as necessary, and retighten hardware. Refer to steps 1 & 2.
• Place a level on top of Drawbar-move Hitch Assembly until Drawbar
is level, front to back. Refer to Step 4.
• The operating depth of the Box Scraper needs to be set now. Make
sure the tractor hitch is free to allow box scraper to go below ground
level, but still maintaining a 5" transport height with the Hitch raised.
• Refer to your tractor and/or sleeve hitch manual for any necessary
adjustments.

OPERATION
• After the Box Scraper is properly adjusted and mounted to the
Tractor, many different operations can be accomplished, some
of which are: leveling dirt and gravel, spreading a pile of loose
material, filling small holes, cleaning up debris, snow removal,
scarifying, etc. NOTE: The Box Scraper is not recommended for
use in reverse gear.
• The Tractor speed while operating the unit, should be governed by
the task to be accomplished.
• While leveling or grading, do not attempt to cut excessive amounts
of hard-packed material at a high rate of speed.
• Use of the Scarifier is recommended when leveling and grading
hard-packed material, to aid in breaking up the surface or gravel
layer. NOTE: Operate at a speed which allows loose material that
has piled up on the face of the Unit to be deposited in low areas.
• Weight (concrete / patio blocks, etc.) can be added to tray and
secured using tie downs through holes in tray flanges.
OPERATION AS A
BOX SCRAPER AND SCARIFIER
• Your unit may be used as a Rear Blade by removing the
Scarifier and Side Plates. (Disassemble by reversing assembly
steps 7, then step 6).
• Various angles (left and right) are obtained by lifting Angling Lever,
rotating the Blade to the desired angle, then lowering the Angling
Lever into the locking hole.
• To use the Blade with the Tractor in the reverse gear, raise the
Angling Lever, rotate the Blade 180 degrees and lock into the
desired position by flipping the angling lever.
• The Blade is designed to be used in a variety of light jobs: such as
leveling, scraping, raking, back-filling, snow removal, etc.
• Weight (concrete / patio blocks, etc.) can be added to tray and
secured using tie downs through holes in tray flanges.
OPERATION
AS A REAR BLADE
MAINTENANCE
• After the Blade Edge has worn
considerably, it should be rotated (from
bottom to top) to provide a new edge.
Remove the four 3/8" Carriage Bolts, rotate the Blade and then
re-assemble the Blade with the new edge on the surface.
• Lubricate all pivoting points and the Hitch Pin with a drop or
two of 30 weight oil before each operation.
• Frequently (at least every 8 hours of use) see that all bolts
and nuts are tight.
• When the Unit is not being used, remove all dirt, scale and
rust; then touch-up with paint.
• Apply a coat of grease, oil or rust preventative to blade
edge, scarifier and other areas that appear to have
"scoured" from operation.
• Always store in a dry place.
