MACHINE SETUP AND CALIBRATION
6.Set Sensor zero position default:
a.Ensure foot pedal is fully released.
b.Read % Sensor Voltage (Figure 35).
Figure 35. Start Stroke Sensor Calibration
c.Round value to nearest percent and enter in CALB POINT 1 DEFAULT.
d.Press "Download" button to update value in MCU.
7.Set Sensor full position default:
a.Have an operator fully depress pedal and hold at full blade speed.
b.Read % Sensor Voltage.
c.Round value to nearest percent and enter in CALB POINT 2 DEFAULT.
d.Press "Download" button to update value in MCU.
8.The operator must be on the unit to drive and stroke the cylinder. Have a second person press the “START” button and indicate to the operator what the prompts are on the screen. The unit will be run from no stroke to fully stroked during this calibration.
9.After calibration sequence is completed, click "EXIT".
10.Once calibrated, the second person must move pedal thru range and the operator ensures stroke follows and calibrated signal moves from 0 to 100%.
PITCH SETUP
Prior to pitch setup, check and make sure that the following are in excellent condition to ensure eventual proper blade pitch synchronization and proper blade flatness.
Blade condition - check for no excessive wear, new blades preferred
Trowel arm bushings
Pitch bolt adjustment for flatness Pitch bolt head for excessive wear Wear plate
Thrust plate bearing and bushing - must lubricate Yoke for excessive wear
CAUTION
Machine movement will occur during this step. Ensure machine is secure or operator is present in seat. All guards should be in place. Keep fingers, hands, hair, and clothing away from all moving parts to prevent injury.
Flatten Blades
1.Adjust blade pitch adjustment bolts as necessary to ensure machine operates smoothly (Figure 36).
