Unless
otherwise specified, the control levers for operating
the scraper are set as follows: pull to raise, push to
lower. For power reversible scrapers the controls are
set as follows: pull to rotate clock wise, push to rotate
counterclockwise. |
| 2. |
Inspect
all nuts, bolts, clamps, etc. prior to use. Replace broken
or worn parts immediately. Re-torque loose fittings to
SAE standards. |
| 3. |
Do
not operate the vehicle in reverse with the scraper
blade down or in contact with any material. Serious damage
may result. |
| 4. |
If
the scraper is equipped with a manual or power latching
mechanism, inspect all attaching parts, springs, and latches
prior to use. |
| 5. |
Inspect the cutting edge prior to each use and at various
intervals during the period of use to inspect for wear,
loose or missing fasteners, and breakage. Repair or replace
as needed. Do not attempt to wear cutting edge beyond
useable life to avoid damage to bottom moldboard support
structure. |
| 6. |
Maximum
pressure to the hydraulic cylinder(s) operating the raising
and lowering of the moldboard has been determined to be
500 psi. If pressure exceeds this amount vehicle control
may be affected. |
| 7. |
Check
the accumulator annually to insure that the unit is charged
with nitrogen or approved equal gas to a maximum of 375
psi. Use licensed providers or properly trained personnel
only for recharging the accumulator. |
| 8. |
In
order to preserve the chrome plated shafts on hydraulic
cylinders, the hydraulic cylinder should be operated at
least once each day. This is particularly important for
those cylinders which operate in a normally extended position.
When storing units for the off season, insure that hydraulic
cylinders are stored in the fully collapsed position and
that all ports, hoses, etc. have been capped or plugged
to prevent the introduction of moisture and contaminants. |
