Grading from Curbs
When grading a street from curbs, work the material across the street
in the same manner as shown in the previous section.
Figure 5-53.
Refer to the chapter "Getting Ready to Grade", and position the
Tracker to cut from a curb. Dial in the % slope and desired depth of
cut, and begin grading from the curb. Be sure the grade checker
verifies the grade the first 25-50 feet. Remember, it is always best to
start with the grade high, then "trim" down on the next pass.
