Specifications and Maintenance
Maintenance
The rugged and durable automatic control system is built to last, but as with all equipment, a few minutes of routine care, maintenance, and cleaning can extend the life of the system.
Storage and Transport
Most often the Laser Grading Box and its hydraulic controls remain on the machine. However, the Control Panel, Laser Sensor, Coiled Sensor Cable and Solenoid Cable should be stored in a safe, protected place when not in use. Protect the cable connections by installing any covers supplied.
Cables and Hoses
Check all cables and hoses regularly for signs of wear and damage. Keep cable connections clean and free from dirt and corrosion. If a cable has been damaged, do not attempt to repair. Incorrect or poor connections can cause damage to your automatic control system.
When applicable, check the hydraulic hoses. Look for areas where the hoses could rub against each other or another object as they expand and contract under pressure. Check the hydraulic fittings for tightness.
Machine
Check areas that affect the Automatic Control system function and accuracy, such as looseness or play in the cylinders or wear on the box’s cutting edge. Looseness in the connection to the tractor/ skid steer, such as in the adaptor
Also check the tractor/skid steer routinely for wear to its components, such as loader pins and
Calibration
Perform periodic calibration checks of the Rotating Laser System as outlined in its Operation Manual to ensure accurate performance.
Service
If the automatic control system is not functioning properly, the first step is to determine the problem component. Use the Troubleshooting Chart to determine possible causes and remedies.
The automatic control system is a highly sophisticated electronic system. Do not attempt repairs to the components. Contact your local dealer if you have any problems.
