SCARIFYING
1. Place the scarifier shanks in position with the points
facing toward the tractor.
2. Lock into position with the lock pins provided. The
lower shank position provides the greatest ground
penetration.
3. Lower the grading scraper and drive the tractor
ahead to begin the scarifying operation.
4. Adjust the depth of the scarifier by tilting the unit
with the tractor top link. Shortening the top link will
provide deeper and more aggressive operation.
SCRAPING
1. Raise and remove scarifier shanks, if equipped.
Adjust the depth of the scraper by tilting the unit with
the tractor top link.
2. Adjust cutting edges by raising or lowering skid
shoes to expose desired depth of cutting edge. The
lower the cutting edge is below the skid shoes, the
more aggressive the cut it will make.
3. Lower scraper and drive forward to cut and distrib-
ute material.
NOTE: The grading scraper does not scrape if trac-
tor is moving in reverse
4. To change levelness of scraper, one skid shoe can
be adjusted lower than the other. The tilt link on the
lower lift arm of the tractor can also be adjusted to
provide the correct slope.
NOTE: The five degree angle of the cutting edges
produce a more aggressive and level cut than edg-
es placed perpendicular to the direction of travel.
The five degree angle also pulls the material slight-
ly to the left hand side of the scraper (as you sit in
the tractor's seat).
SPREADING AND LEVELING
1. Raise or remove scarifier shanks.
2. To spread material, back into loose material and set
scraper on ground. Drive forward, pulling material
with you. Material will flow over cutting edges and
spread along direction of travel. When material is
gone, back up and make another pass. Repeat this
process until material is spread as desired.
3. To crown a roadway, drive down right hand side of
roadway and scraper will loosen material and pull it
slightly left, toward center of roadway. The lower lift
arm of the tractor can be adjusted to tilt scraper for
a more aggressive crowning action.
