OPERATION

Grading

Grading can be accomplished with the use of the Planer Wheel (Accessory Equipment). Set the Moldboard Pivot to the desired angle, lower the blade to the ground, and then set the depth of cut with the Hydraulic Cylinder. Do not drop the Planer Wheel on the ground. This could result in damage to the Planer Wheel or Hydraulic Cylinder.

Backfilling

The Moldboard can be manually rotated 180 degrees for backfilling operations. This position requires a careful setting of the Top Link allowing a Blade angle which does not tend to bury itself, but move across the top of the ground. Backfilling is a very critical operation because the Blade tends to dig into the ground. The backfilling operation should be performed with the Mainframe straight behind the tractor with the Blade set in the center position (perpendicular to the Mainframe). The work should be kept in the center of the Blade. Avoid concentrated loads on the end of the Blade. Do not ram into a load at any time as this multiplies the forces several times normal and could result in damage to your Blade. Perform all backfilling operations at slow speeds to prevent damage if the blade hits and object. Moving snow with the Blade in the backfill position is a very delicate operation and should be performed with care. It is very easy to hit hidden objects when moving the light snow. It is also very easy to operate the Blade at too high a speed, with resulting damage.

Terracing

For terracing follow the same procedure as recommended for ditching except use less tilt.

NOTE: The warranty shall not apply to damage caused by misuse, abuse, or contact with obstructions.
