how to get peak performance
from your scarifier
| TechTip |
| Scarifiers with replaceable
carbide tip milling tools consistently outperform
standard grading blades. But, they must be installed,
operated and maintained properly in order to provide
maximum productivity and the lowest grading costs. |
 |
Installation
1. After removing old blades from the moldboard and
thoroughly cleaning the surface, securely bolt the
blade.
2. Each scarifier has a proper operating angle
to ensure the best grading results.
3. Talk to a
Winter Equipment expert for the proper installation
angle.

Operation
1. Before operation, tools should be checked to ensure
that they are rotating freely.
2. A tool not rotating
will leave a "drag mark" and should be
freed. Failure to do so will cause premature wear
of the carbide tip.
3. Tools should only penetrate
surfaces to a depth of approximately 3/4" to
1".
4. Not ecommended for use over large rocks
and boulders.
5. To prevent tools from vibrating
out during transit, roll moldboard back to a horizontal
position, or use short retainer-equipped tools.

Maintenance
1. If tools aren't rotating, pressure wash tools
and rotate them by hand. Those not rotating, punch
out and clean the bore hole and tool sleeve, then
punch back in. Finally, spray with the manufacturer's
recommended solution.
2. When center tools wear down
to 1/2 to 2/3 of their original size, rotate them
with less worn outside tools
3. Replace the tool
if carbide wears to a flat spot, breaks or carbide
wears off.
4. If the adapter board on the outside
shows wear, rotate with center section.
5. Routinely
check for lost, worn and damaged tools.
