POWER GRADER
2.
Remove the Bolts and Locknuts securing both ends of the Mold Board to
the Power Grader Frame using two 9/16" Wrenches (
Figure 38 ).
Note: The Mold Board must always be positioned with the welded angle facing
toward the rear ( Figure 39 ).
3.
Remove the Mold Board and position it with the desired edge down and the
welded Angle facing the rear of the machine.
4.
Reinstall the Mold Board and secure with the Bolts and Locknuts.
5.
You can reinstall the Snap Safety Pin ( Figure 37 ) so you can raise the
Grader when needed or you can rotate the Axle so it is resting on top of the
Grader (
Figure 40 ) to prevent the Wheels from leaving marks in finer
materials.
Note: If you want the place the Axle on top of the Grader, you must strap it to the
Grader to keep it in place.
Adding Weight to the Weight Tray
Two Cinder Blocks can be placed between the Crosmembers to add more
weight for harder surfaces (
Figure 41 ).
Any weights added to the top of the Grader must be strapped to the
Crossmembers to prevent them from being bounced off the machine.
Lowering the Wheels for transporting
1.
Rotate the Handle clockwise to raise the Slider to the top of the scale
(
Figure 42 ). This will lower the Wheels and lift the Power Grader off the
ground for transporting.
