OPERATION
Level the box blade from side to side and front to
rear using adjustments on the tractor's 3-point lift.
To adjust the scarifier shanks, first remove the pins
which hold the shanks in place. Slide the shanks up
or down to desired position and replace the pins.
(Figure 3)
The scarifiers should be adjusted to the lowest posi-
tion to penetrate and break up the surface when
moving large volumes of soil. When leveling, the tips
should be positioned to barely chip the surface, and
when smoothing, the tips should completely clear
the ground.
Care should be exercised during use of the box
blade to prevent hanging the scarifier points or the
blades on immovable objects or otherwise use the
implement under conditions beyond its designed
capacity.

SECTION II - MAINTENANCE
Keep all blade nuts and bolts tightened to 175 ft. lbs.
Blades can be reversed to use opposite cutting edge
when needed. (Figure 2)
LOWER THE BLADE AS MUCH AS POS-
SIBLE AND SECURELY SUPPORT
BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENT.
Inspect your box scraper periodically and replace
any worn or broken parts in order to have it ready
for use when needed.
Worn scarifier tips may be replaced by grinding
or torching off the old tips and welding on
replacements. (Figure 1)
Store the box blade out of the weather when it is not
in use. This helps prevent rusting of the blades and
other components.
