2. Preparation
2.6 Leveling the machine
Before starting the procedure:
The machine must be connected to a tractor that is the correct size for operation. See the information for
the minimum tow vehicle weight.
Procedure
1. Find a solid, level surface large enough for the machine when unfolded.
2. Unfold the machine and fully raise the machine. Continue holding the hydraulic lever to let the oil cycle through the
lift system.
3. Hold the lift cylinder in the raised position for one to five minutes to make sure all cylinder are bled of air and fully
extended.
4. Stop the tractor engine, apply the park brake, and take the key with you.
5. Remove the transport locks and pins from the center frame cylinders.
6. Put the transport locks in the storage location and fasten with pins.
7. Remove the stop collars from all of the main lift cylinders.
8. Use the tractor hydraulics to lower the machine so the front shovels or spike are 1 to 2 inches above the ground.
9. Measure and record the frame height at the front corners from the ground to the bottom of the frame tube.
10. Measure and record the frame height at the rear corners from the ground to the top of the frame tube.
11. Compare the front and rear measurements.
12. Set front frame height to the same as the rear frame height. If the fron of the machine is higher than the rear,
remove the shims shown in figure 8. If the front of the machine is lower than the rear, add shims shown in figure 8.
Make sure both front adjustable cylinder anchors have the same number and thickness of shims. The gauge wheels
will carry the weight of the machine.
13. Check the measurements again and adjust as necessary.
14. Tighten the nut and bolt holding the shims.
15. Check the machine level in the operating position and adjusted as necessary.
