Calibrating the Rotation Sensor
Calibrating the
rotation sensor
To calibrate the rotation sensor complete the following steps:
1. Park the machine on level ground.
2. Put the frame in a straight position (that is, with the gooseneck not
articulated).
3. Make sure that the front wheels of the grader are vertical.
4. Make sure that the link bar is centred with the locking pin in the
middle hole.
5. Centre the blade on the circle using the blade sideshift. Measure each
side of the blade from the circle frame to ensure that it is accurately
centred. See picture below.
6. Rotate the blade so that it is more or less at a 90 degree angle to the
machine.
7. Measure from the draft ball at the head of the A-frame to each end
of the moldboard.
You do not have to measure to the very tip of the moldboard; however,
you must measure to the same point at each end of the moldboard.
8. Compare the two measurements and if they are not equal, rotate the
blade slightly.
