Daily Walk Around Inspection
For maximum service life, performance, and safety each machine
should be inspected daily before operation.
Perform a general walk around looking for missing or loose bolts,
hydraulic leaks, structural damage or cracks, and build up of trash or
material on the machine. Repairs should be made before continued
operation of the machine.
In addition these specific areas should checked:
1) Tires should be checked for damage and proper inflation.
The proper inflation is 60psi for bias tires.
2) Check all hitch, tongue, and floor bolts.
3) Check all tire nuts and studs.
4) Check tire oscillator bolts and bearings.
5) Check hydraulic lines and hoses for wear or damage.
Replace or repair as necessary.
6) Check hitch and tongue area for cracks, damage or unusual
wear. Repair as necessary.
7) Grease all swivel hitch points daily.
8) Check ejector wear blocks for excessive wear and loose
bolts.
9) Check all pins for loose or damaged retainers.
10) Check blades and router bits for excessive wear.
Operating Techniques
1) Swivel hitch may be adjusted or front assembly rotated for
creating the desired blade angle.
2) When top loading the scraper bowl must be completely
lowered to the ground. Keep in mind that the weight of
excavator loaded material is heavier than that loaded by a
scraper. Weight capacity is scraper heaped rating x 2400.
