CAUTION!
Be sure your skid steer is in good condition. Read
all the safety precautions and make sure all skid
steer operators are familiar with the safety rules of
operation.
Refer to the “exploded view” of the skid steer mounted
grader blade on page 22 of this manual. Become famil-
iar with the relationship of the various components and
parts shown.
The caster wheel assemblies have been removed for
shipping. Clean the vertical caster fork spindles and
smear grease on the spindles before assembly. Fasten
with the lock collar and make sure set screw bolt goes
into countersunk hole in spindle. Then connect grease
gun to grease zerk and apply until excess grease
appears.
The hydraulic cylinder has been disconnected from the
blade to allow a narrow shipping profile.
After the grader blade is attached to the skid steer,
manually position the blade so the pin can connect the
cylinder rod end to the shearpin arm of the blade.
Check the skid steer tires. The rear tires are used to
operate the skid steer with the grader blade attachment
and should have good tread. Adjust tire pressure to 50
psi (346 KN/m
2 ). Keep tire valves capped.
If an optional laser control is used, see manual
provided with laser unit for installation and operating
instructions.
NOTE: Read section on hydraulic valve – page 16.
