OPERATION

 

IMPORTANT:

Do not hitch Rear Blade to a tractor

rated outside the recommended horsepower range.

Doing so can bend and/or break the blade.

 

 

IMPORTANT

: Be careful when working areas where

obstructions can be hidden. Always check the area

before working it and mark any potential hazards with

a visible flag. Travel slowly through high risk areas

and always be prepared to stop immediately should

the blade make contact with a solid object.

 

Basic Operating Instructions

 

 

Thoroughly inspect the work area for buried utility

cables,

pipelines, sprinkler

heads,

and

any

unforeseen objects. Mark any potential hazards.

 

 

Place grade stakes if you intend to develop a specific

grade or soil level.

 

 

Adjust blade to the desired angle, tilt, and offset

position before lowering blade to the ground.

 

 

Lower blade to the ground and proceed forward at a

speed of no more than 2 to 4 mph. The blade should

immediately begin shaving the soil surface.

 

 

Set tractor’s draft

-

link height control lever to the

desired grade position. If blade is set at a 90 degree

angle to the direction of travel, it may be necessary to

raise the blade slightly so that dirt and gravel can flow

out evenly under the blade as it shaves off high spots

and fills in potholes or depressions.

 

Inspection After Hook

-

Up

 

 

Make the following inspections after attaching the

Rear Blade to the tractor:

 

Inspect tractor safety equipment to make sure it is in

good working condition.

 

Make sure all blade components are properly

lubricated. See “Lubrication Points”.

 

Check clearances between blade and tractor

throughout the range of all blade motions. See

“Check Interferences” for detailed instructions.

 

Unhooking the Rear Blade

 

 

Un

-

hook Rear Blade from the tractor as follows:

 

Park on a level solid hard surface. Place tractor gear

selector in park and set park brake.

 

 

Lower parking jack and secure with hitch pin.

 

 

Lower blade and parking stand onto level ground or

onto blocks supporting the unit just above ground.

 

 

Shut tractor engine off and remove key.

 

 

If needed, adjust length of upper center 3

-

point link

until hitch pin can be removed from hitch frame.

 

 

Remove linchpins from lower hitch pins and pull hitch

pins out.

 

 

Move lower 3

-

point arms out of the way and reinstall

hitch pins, linchpins, and hairpin cotters in the Rear

Blade hitch frame for storage.

Blade for a long time.

 

Rear Blade Functions

 

 

IMPORTANT

: The warranty shall not apply to

damage caused by misuse, abuse, or contact with

obstructions.

 

 

NOTE

: Place grade stakes if you intend to develop a

specific grade or soil level.

 

 

Grading

 

 

Pivot moldboard to the desired angle, lower blade to

the ground, and set the tractor’s draft

-

link height

control to the desired position. Proceed forward at a

speed of no more than 2 to 4 mph. The blade should

immediately begin shaving the surface.

 

A blade full of material can be raised slightly so that

the material can flow out evenly under the blade to

effectively shave off high spots and fill in potholes or

depressions.

 

Loose soil can be smoothed out by pushing the soil

with the back of the moldboard while backing

-

up.

 

 

Make sure Rear Blade does not block tractor’s Slow

Moving Vehicle (SMV) sign while transporting on a

road. Install a SMV sign on the Rear Blade if tractor’s

SMV sign is blocked.

 

Traffic not alerted to a slow moving tractor might hit

the tractor causing serious injury or death.
