MOLDBOARD AND IMPLEMENT OPERATION
The moldboard and optional implements are hydraulically operated. Control levers are located on each side of the
front console. By actuating a switch on top of the front console, some control levers operate multiple functions.
The transmission gear and engine speed should be set before engaging the ground with the moldboard or implement.
Never overload moldboard to the point that the rear wheels begin to slip. This will alter the grade, increase wear on
the tires and cause inefficient operation.
IMPORTANT:
Using moldboard to back drag material should be avoided, if possible. Increased wear on the
moldboard guides and damage to the side shift cylinder rod may result.
Implement
IMPORTANT:
Front and rear-mounted implements, if installed,
have lock pins, 1, that must be removed to lower implement.
The front of the motor grader may be equipped with an optional
dozer or scarifier. The rear of the motor grader may be equipped
with an optional ripper. They are hydraulically operated. The
scarifier and ripper can be used to break out hard-packed material
that the moldboard does not penetrate. The dozer blade may be
used to level large piles which are not suitable to drive the front
wheels over.
NOTE:
Front counterweights or front implements must be
installed when rear ripper is installed. Rear ripper and rear counterweights cannot be installed simultaneously.
Scarifier and ripper shanks have two depth positions. Each shank,
1, is equipped with a replaceable tooth, 2.
CAUTION:
KEEP FEET OUT FROM UNDER TOOLBAR. SHANKS MAY FALL WHEN LOCK PIN IS
REMOVED.
A lock pin, 3, holds the shank in place. To remove lock pin, tap on the bottom with a hammer until free. Remove lock
pin from the top of the tool bar and remove or reposition the shank.
To install, position shank in tool bar in the desired notch. Insert lock pin from top of tool bar until fully seated.
