OPERATORS MANUAL - TERRABLADE

The correct angle is achieved by setting the front blade bar to a specified height. To achieve this put the front
linkage into float and allow the machine to drop its weight onto the depth wheels, then adjust the top link

so the chassis link pins are vertical. Finally, adjust the front depth wheels by loosening U-bolts and sliding up/
down, to achieve 345mm to the base of the blade bar.

At a height of 345mm, the hoe will be set neutral at ground level and skim the surface. To lower the blade bar,
shorten the top link or move the front pin to the lower hole (see image on page 25), giving the blade more

inclination to work deeper. The top link is the fine adjustment and the front hole is the coarse adjustment.

The depth wheel setting should remain the same once the machine has been set.
