WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Do not remove shipping block from blade tilt housing until
after all manual links, ratchet jack, and/or hydraulic
cylinders have been installed and cylinders have been
charged with oil.
• The Rear Blade may be unstable and hard to control until
all the hydraulic cylinders have been purged with oil.
IMPORTANT: The blade tilt cylinder receives a 90
degree elbow with a small orifice in one end of the
elbow. Make sure this orifice elbow is installed in the
cylinder port at the rod end of the tilt cylinder.
IMPORTANT: Attach cylinder base to the upper
cylinder mount. The base will interfere with the
moldboard if attached to the lower cylinder mount.

cylinder ports (#3) as shown. Tighten as needed.

hoses and tighten. (Customer to supply quick

positioned facing back and cylinder base is attached

frame and hitch. Connect hoses to tractor's hydraulic
