OPERATION&TRANSPORTATION
DANGER
TOPREVENTINJURIES:
Make adjustments to box scraper after it has been
properlyattachedtotractorand secured with solid
supports.
Never work around or under equipment supported
onlybyhydraulics.
Hydraulics can drop equipment instantly if controls

DANGER
TOPREVENTINJURIES:
Never allow riders including children on the tractor or
scraper.Theycanfallandberanovercausingserious
injuryordeath.
WARNING
TOPREVENTINJURIES:
It is the operator’s responsibility not to allow anyone
neartheBoxScraperduringit’soperation.
WARNING
TOPREVENTINJURIES:
Do notalter the box scraper. Altering the scraper can
affectitsperformanceandreliabilitycausingdamageto
the scraper, tractor and/or injury. Always replace
damagedpartswithoriginalmanufacturerparts.
CAUTION
TOPREVENTINJURIES:
Always keep your feetand/or legs out from under the
shanks while adjusting them. It is possible for the
shankstofallcausinginjurytoyourfeetand/orlegs.
WARNING
TOPREVENTINJURIES:
Use the box scraper for it’s intended purpose only.
Neverusetheboxscrapertopull,lift,toworcarryother
equipment or objects. Doing any of the above could
resultindamagetothescraper,seriousinjuryordeath.
CAUTION
TOPREVENTINJURIES:
Be sure you are not working over any underground
wiring,pipesorotherobstructions.Ifthereisanydoubt,
callyourlocalutilityservicessotheymaydeterminethe

OPERATION&TRANSPORTATION
GENERALOPERATINGINSTRUCTIONS
Once you have familiarized yourself with the
Operator’sManual,properlyattachtheboxscraperto
thetractor.
Box scrapers are ideal for ripping, levelling finish
grading and back filling applications at feed lots,
outdoor arenas, building sites and maintenance
operationsonfarmorranchlanes,orroadways.You
checkoutyourworksiteforanyburiedutilitycables,
pipelines or other obstacles that you do not want to
damageorencounter.
The Box Scraper’s primary purpose is grading and
levelling.Thisfunctionisbestdoneatanapproximate
speedof2to4mph.Withtherippershanksraisedall
the way up, simply lower the Box Scraper to the
ground and drive forward. The grader blade should
immediatelybeginshavingthesoilsurfaceanddirtor
aggregate materialshould begin accumulating in the
box.
Youcantransferthismaterialbydraggingtoanearby
location and then raising the Box Scraper to deposit
yourload.Youcanalsoachieveauniformsurfaceby
using the Box Scraper to shave off high spots,
allowing accumulated matter to flow out under the
graderbladeinlowspots.Occasionallythegroundor
surface material will be very hard and will require
ripping toloosen the soil in order for BoxScraper to
beeffective.
Ifamoreaggressive rippingaction isrequired,lower
the shanks by 1.5” at a time. If less ripping is
required, raise all the shanks. It will require a little
experimentation and experience to achieve the
desiredeffectin yourgivenconditions.BoxScrapers
generally perform better in dry to slightly damp soil
conditions.
The Box Scraper can also be used for backfilling
applications.
SimplylowertheBoxScraperandbackthestandard
rear facing grader blade in to the pile of dirt you are
using for backfill. Continue backfilling and pushing
operationsuntilyouhavecompletedthetask.
WARNING
TOPREVENTINJURIES:
When traveling on public roads, use accessory lights,
SMVsign,cleanreflectorsandotheradequatedevices
to warn operators in other vehicles of your presence.
Always comply with all federal, state, provincial and
locallaws.
Be sure to reduce tractor speed when turning, and
leaveenoughroomforclearancesotheBoxScraper
does not contact obstacles such as buildings, trees,
orfences,etc.
Select a safe travel speed when transporting from
oneareatoanother.
Whentravelingonroadways,travelinsuchawaythat
fastermovingvehiclesmaypassyousafely.
Whentravelingoverroughorhillyterrainshifttractor
tolowergear.
Watch out for fences, trees, rocks, wires while
operatingandtransportingtheattachment.
TRACTORSHUTDOWN&STORAGE
DisengagethePTOofthetractor.
Lowerthe attachment tothe ground, engage parking
brake, turn off engine and remove the switch key to
preventunauthorizedstarting.
Wait for all moving parts to come to a stop before
leavingthedriver’sseat.
Detach and store the accessory in an area where
children do not normally play. Secure the accessory
usingblocksandsupports.
WARNING
TOPREVENTINJURIES:
Turning the tractor too tight may cause hitched
accessories to ride up on the wheels. This could
resultininjuryand/orequipmentdamage.

ADJUSTMENTS
DANGER
TOPREVENTINJURIES:
Make adjustments to Box Scraper after it has been
properlyattachedtotractorand secured with solid
supports.
Never work around or under equipment supported
onlybyhydraulics.
Hydraulics can drop equipment instantly if controls
are actuated or if hydraulic lines burst even when
powertohydraulicisshutoff.
Shank settings are based on the vertical distance
measured frombottom edge of sideplatesto bottom
ofshanktips.Adjusteachshankheightasfollows.
Removehairpin(item2)andpin(item1).
Adjustshank(item3)upordowntothedesiredhole
setting,thenreplacepinandsecurewithhairpin.
Withshanksraisedfullyup,parkthetractorandBox
