4-24 OPENER SCRAPER ADJUSTMENT

4-24.1 The opener is equipped with a scraper
to keep the inside surfaces of the opener
blades clean. In dryer conditions, the scraper
can be adjusted farther away from the
opener blades for greater clearance. In wet-
ter conditions, it will be necessary to adjust
the scraper blade closer to the opener blade.
CAUTION
OPENER BLADES ARE VERY SHARP,
USE GLOVES WHEN WORKING
AROUND OPENER BLADES.

4-24.2 To adjust the scraper blade, loosen the
1/2-13 hex flange spiralock nut holding the
blade, and slide the blade up or down to
achieve the desired clearance (See Figure
4-32). Retighten the 1/2-13 hex flange
spiralock nut. Carefully rotate the opener
blades to make sure the blades will turn
freely and not drag on the scraper.
4-24.3 A properly maintained opener blade
pinch point will reduce the amount of soil that
enters between the opener blades. This will
in turn allow the scraper to operate in a
cleaner environment and reduce scraper
wear.
