Working safety standards
It is important to have knowledge not only about the functioning, operation of the
equipment and its technology, but also about the working legal aspects when using the
equipment, such as: safety standards, operator's manual and working safety.
The equipment and tools used on the rural area must be properly handled, otherwise
health and safety of involved personnel may be compromised.
The operator must be capable and authorized to operate the tractor, meaning that
that person must comprehend the functioning instructions of the tractor and know about
the safety standards regarding the job that will be performed.
The Ministry of Labor and Employment created safety standards that aim to decrease
the risk of accidents that may occur to the rural worker. Related to the subject of agicultural
machines and equipments, we specifically cited the NR 06, NR 12 and NR 31 standards.

Before starting the operations, prepare the tractor and equipment appropriately.
Check the general conditions of the tractor, especially the good functioning of the
hydraulic system, that must be in flotation mode.
The addition of water ballasts on the tires or a set of weights on the tractor front part
or on the rear wheels are the most used ways to increase the traction over the soil and to
assure a greater stability of the set.
The front and rear wheel gauges must be equal (consider a measure from the center
of the tires).
The reservoir fill-up process must be always done after the daily working period.
This avoids that the air humidity that is inside the reservoir condenses. If filled up, the air
volume inside the reservoir exits through the breather.
The operator must known the tractor operation commands to assure safety,
preservation and integrity of the tractor, as well as to allow an efficient and correct operation.
The option to choose the hole on the third point on the control rod (A) is related to
the type and humidity of the soil and the depth actuation of the equipment. For soils that
have smooth texture and light equipments, use the upper hole.
When working over harder soils or to reach greater depths, the sensibility must be
lowered, in order to avoid that the control itself prevents the equipment penetration.
Follow the instructions on the tractor and equipment manual to assure the good
functioning of both of them.

Set-up instructions
Hitching to the tractor
For hitching, choose a place as flat as possible.
Drive the tractor slowly in reverse gear in the rear scraper direction and be ready to
brake. When close enough, use the lever to control the hydraulic position, letting the left
lower arm at the same level as the rear scraper hitch pin.
1) Hitch the right and left arms, which have up and down movements through the
lower arm adjusment and place the junction axles and cotter pins. Right after, the extensor
thread of the tractor upper arm can be used to approach or move away the scraper to
facilitate the hitching.
2) Place the upper arm (third-point), locking it on the scraper using a junction axle
and cotter pin. For a perfect hitching, the rear scraper must be centralized with the tractor,
which is done as follows:
• Align the upper hitch of the scraper with the tractor third point.
• Totally lift the rear scraper.
• Check if the distances between the lower arms and the tires are equal on both sides
(as in "A"), being them leveled (as in "B").
• Lock the jacks facing up or remove and store them.

• When lifting the rear scraper for maneuvers, consult the tractor manual
to be sure about the necessary weight in order to not affect the stability
and driving ability of the tractor-rear scraper set. Without the correct
weight distribution, a serious accident and even death may occur.
• Marchesan is not responsible for the incorrect use of any equipament.
Set-up instructions
Rear scraper leveling
To level the rear scraper, the tractor must be in a flat place. Then, level it crosswise
(width direction) using the right lower arm (B) adjustment. Make sure the (C) distances
are equal.
The longitudinal leveling (length direction) is done by adjusting the third point arm of
the tractor. The blades must be in parallel related to the soil.

Adjustments and operations
Horizontal angle adjustment
The rear scraper can be adjusted horizontally up to an angle of 30º to the right or to
the left.
The image below shows the rear scraper in a horizontal position to perform operations
like leveling, landfills, earth displacement and others.
To do this adjustment, follow the steps below:
• Remove the lock pin and pin (A) to unlock the blade.
• Displace the blade to the desired position and place the pin (A) and lock pin again
to lock the blade.
• The angle must be adjusted so the earth goes to the front of the blade, decreasing
the soil resistance.
• The rear scraper can spin in a 360º angle and can work normally in reverse gear.
