SYSTEMS fEATURES AND bASIC OPERATION PURPOSE The Level Best Laser Grading Box is a cost-effi- cient method for fine grading. Various capacities sized to fit the skid steer or tractor with a choice of automatic control systems are available. The Laser Grading Box is intended to operate with an automatic control system providing accurate grade control.
SYSTEMS fEATURES AND bASIC OPERATION Control Panel – Contains the logic of the auto- matic control system, processing data from the Laser Sensor and, if equipped, switches controlled by the operator. Valve Assembly – Wired to the Control Panel, the valve meters hydraulic oil to the hydraulic cylnder for depth control.
SYSTEMS fEATURES AND bASIC OPERATION Figure 2. Valve Connection Details Hydraulic Valve The hydraulic valve is mounted on the frame of the Laser Grading Box. It is an electrically-actuated double-acting, single-section valve. Hoses and quick-couplers to attach it the tractor’s auxiliary hydraulics are included with the hydraulic kit.
SYSTEMS fEATURES AND bASIC OPERATION 3. After installation, ensure that the Laser Grading Box is level. The loader arms must be completely lowered and the bucket cylin- ders set so the tires of the Laser Grading Box are on the ground. Verify that the Laser Grading Box is level by observing that the main frame is horizontal to the ground.
SYSTEMS fEATURES AND bASIC OPERATION Figure 5. Components of the Automatic Control System on a Tractor NOTE: “P” means pressure (supply) and “T” means tank (return). Refer to the tractor Owner’s Manual for identifying the “P” and “T” Auxiliary Hydraulic Ports. 6. Insert the mast pole in the holder until it rests at the bottom of the tube. Tighten the tee handle to secure the mast.
SYSTEMS fEATURES AND bASIC OPERATION Set-Up for Level Grading If the job site is to be level, the set-up of the Rotating Laser is simple. Since no slope is required in either axis, the Rotating Laser does not need to be aligned.

SYSTEMS fEATURES AND bASIC OPERATION • If the Rod Eye Receiver indicates the plane of laser light is too high or too low, have a second person rotate the Rotating Laser on the tripod in small steps until the Rod Eye Receiver indi- cates “On Grade.”...
SYSTEMS fEATURES AND bASIC OPERATION 7. Align the plane of laser light. a. Algn the bottom of a Grade Rod to the mark on the far grade stake. b. Check the Rod Eye Receiver. • If the Rod Eye Receiver indicates “On Grade,” the plane of laser light is aligned at the correct slope.
SYSTEMS fEATURES AND bASIC OPERATION 2. Find an area to be graded that is close to specified grade. Start the skid steer or tractor, engage the auxiliary hydraulics and move the unit to that location. Manually raise or lower the Laser Grading Box’s cutting edge until it is even with the bottom of the mea- suring pole when the Rod Eye is emitting the “On Grade”...
SyMPtoM Laser Grading Box does not raise or lower. Laser Grading Box moves in opposite direction. TROUbLESHOOTING PoteNtial CauSe Control Panel not turned on.

SyMPtoM Box has trouble staying on grade. Rotating Laser out of range. TROUbLESHOOTING PoteNtial CauSe Laser beam being reflected. Multiple laser beams. Laser deadband set too narrow. Travel speed is too fast for grade tolerance. Hydraulic response too quick. Hydraulic flow reversed. ReMeDy Ensure Laser Sensor is within specified operating range of Rotating Laser. Ensure Rotating Laser’s light is not reflecting off other surfaces (windows, windshields, mir- rors, etc.) causing multiple readings by the Laser Sensor. Ensure that there are no other lasers operating on the job site or nearby. Ensure the deadband tolerance is set for rough grading. Slow down. Decrease the Gain Selection Switch setting.
