ASSEMBLY

Gauge Wheel (Extra Equipment)

Mounting Holes have been provided for mounting the Gauge Wheel to the Mainframe. Dual or Single Wheels with laminated puncture proof or pneumatic tires are optional. Assembly of the Hydraulic Cylinder to the Gauge Wheel Beam must be in the direction as shown in Figure Asm-0005. It is also important to route the hydraulic Hose through the Hose Retainers designed for this equipment.

Skid Shoes & Quick Tack End Plates (Extra Equipment)

Skid Shoes prevent gouging and scalping and increase Blade life. End Plates help move larger quantities of bulk material. Install as shown in Figure Asm-0006. Neither can be used while ditching.

Hydraulic System

The Hydraulic Cylinders are designed to be used in conjunction with your tractor's Hydraulic System. The Cylinders and Hose are designed for maximum system pressure of 2500 PSI.

Keep Cylinders and Hose free from internal contamination. Never leave a disconnected Hose end open. Use a sealant when attaching hydraulic Hose to Cylinder. Do not over tighten fittings as this will break out the Cylinder Port Housings. When testing for a leaky Hose or Connection use a piece of cardboard of wood to detect pinhole leaks - NOT YOUR HAND. A high-pressure stream of escaping hydraulic fluid can penetrate skin and cause serious infection or reaction, in addition to physical damage to internal flesh.
