Moldboard and Implement Operation
Bank Slope (Optional)
When the motor grader is equipped with the optional
rotating saddle, the moldboard can be rotated 90° to
either side for grading steep slopes.
To rotate saddle and moldboard to the right:
1. Rotate circle
(1)
until moldboard
(2)
is perpendicular
to grader.
2. Side shift the moldboard fully right. Shift the circle to
the right with the cylinder rod extended
approximately 5 inches. Lower moldboard.
3. Disengage saddle lock pin. Using blade lift levers, extend (lower) right moldboard lift cylinder and
retract (raise) left moldboard lift cylinder. The moldboard will slide along the ground as the saddle
(3)
rotates.
NOTE:
Raising the moldboard off the ground several
times during this process will release side pressure on
frame.
4. Continue step 3 until lock pin is aligned with last hole
in the saddle. Lock saddle using saddle lock pin.
5. Raise both sides of the moldboard slightly from the
ground. Raise right side of the moldboard
(4)
and
turn the circle counterclockwise so the right end of
the blade is close to the front tire. This prevents the
left side of the moldboard from dragging. At the same
time, shift the circle to the right to pivot the complete circle/moldboard assembly upward.
6. Continue operation until moldboard has cleared
ground. Use Moldboard Height Control Levers to
move moldboard in and out. The moldboard angle can
be changed using Circle Turn Lever until desired
moldboard angle is reached.
NOTE:
When grading a bank, moldboard control can
be manipulated easily by leaning the front wheels
toward or away from the bank.
To prevent moldboard from striking vehicles or structures, always position
moldboard within the wheel width for road travel or transport on a trailer.
