Page 19: Grading Procedure
Grading Procedure There are three main parts to the grading process: 1 Perimeter Grading The edge material of the arena should always be levelled first upon entering the site, and is extremely important in preventing the material becoming banked around the perimeter of the arena. - Page 20 How to use the perimeter blade on the MG250 (Sept 2016 onwards) 1. Your machine will have the perimeter blade attached to the main frame on the right hand side as shown below. 2. With the machine in transport mode remove steel pin and turn the blade to a 90- degree angle (see below) making sure the pin holes are aligned.
- Page 21 5. Once complete the blade will then be able to scrap the remaining surface in towards the machine and level accordingly, adjusting the depth stop if necessary – it is better to make two passes with the grader set to a lesser working depth, than one deep pass, and a more consistent surface will result.
- Page 22 3 Secondary Grading It is recommended that, time permitting, a second grading pass is undertaken to ensure the desired surface finish and feel. This should be conducted in exactly the same manner as the primary grading operation, but in rows drawn at either 45° or 90°.
- Page 23 1mm, or if excessive damage is incurred. Replacement of the perimeter blade is quick and easy, and wearing strips are available for fitment to the fixed blade if required. Contact your machinery supplier or Chapman Machinery direct for more details. Page 23...
