bank or back Sloping
To position the moldboard (in this case to the right side)
proceed as follows:
1. Turn the circle until blade is at a right angle (90°) to
the grader.
BLADE POSITIONED AT RIGHT ANGLE (90°) TO GRADER
2. Side shift blade to the extreme right, then side shift the
circle until cylinder rod shows about 5" (127 mm) exten-
sion. Lower moldboard to the ground.
BLADE POSITIONED AT RIGHT SIDE TO GRADER
3. Disengage the saddle lock pins. Using the blade lift
levers, extend the right blade lift cylinder rod and re-
tract the left blade lift cylinder rod (moldboard on the
ground). After the saddle has been rotated to the desi-
red position (fully for 90° position), align the saddle pin
holes (by sight) and reengage the saddle lock pins.
ROTATING SADDLE
CHAPTER 4 – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4. Raise the blade slightly from the ground, then raise
the right end of the blade while turning the circle so
that right end of the blade moves toward the right front
of the grader (this will keep the left end of the blade
from hitting the ground) Move simultaneously the cir-
cle upwards using the lateral movement lever (in this
case, pull backwards the circle side shift lever).
NOTE: As the left end of the blade is raised from the
ground, it is necessary to lower the left end of the blade
and raise the right end of it at the same time.
BLADE AT 90° BANK SLOPE INTERMEDIATE POSITION
5. Continue the operation (as in item 4) until the mold-
board is positioned as in the illustration. Then turn the
blade (using the circle turn) to the desired position.
IMPORTANT: When cutting a bank an excellent blade
control can be obtained using the wheel lean to push the
blade toward or away from the bank.
