Blade Tilt
Refer to Figure 3-3:
Five holes are provided for tilting end of blade up or down
by as much as 15 degrees in 7 1/2 degree increments.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Do not tilt blade when backfilling. Tilting the blade to backfill
can result in lost of control and damage the unit.
1. Read and follow all “Safety Alerts” on page 11.
2. The Rear Blade must be hitched to a tractor and
raised off the ground high enough to make this
adjustment.
3. Rotate handle of bent pin (#2) up and pull pin out.
4. Tilt blade to desired angle and reinsert bent pin.
Rotate handle down to secure bent pin in place.
Make sure roll pin in bent pin is caught behind slot in
rear plate.
Blade Pitch
Refer to Figure 1-2 on page 8:
The angle the blade enters the ground or “Blade Pitch”
may be adjusted to increase or decrease the blade’s
ability to dig into the soil.
1. Read and follow all “Safety Alerts” on page 11.
2. Blade pitch can be adjusted by lengthening or
shortening the tractor’s top center 3-Point link.
Increasing blade pitch will increase its ability to dig.
a. When traveling forward, lengthen center 3-Point
link to increase blade pitch and shorten center
3-Point link to decrease blade pitch.
b. The opposite is true when backfilling. Shorten
center 3-Point link to increase blade pitch and
lengthen center 3-Point link to decrease blade
pitch.
IMPORTANT: To help protect the Rear Blade from
damage while backfilling, lengthen the center 3-
point link to decrease blade pitch until blade moves
across the top of the ground without forcing itself into
the soil.
