BLADE DROP SPEED ADJUSTMENT
The quill in the valve manifold adjusts the blade drop
speed.
1. Lower the blade to the ground before making
adjustment.
2. Turn the quill IN (clockwise) to decrease drop
speed. Turn the quill OUT (counterclockwise) to
increase drop speed.
NOTE: To access the quill on the XLS™ hydraulic
unit, raise top cover retainer, remove bottom
cover retainer and remove rear cover.
3. Stand 8' clear of the blade drop zone when
checking adjustment.
4. On the XLS unit, replace the cover and reinstall
the top and bottom cover retainers.
WARNING
Keep 8' clear of the blade drop zone when it is
being raised, lowered or angled. Do not stand
between the vehicle and blade or directly in
front of blade. If the blade hits you or drops
on you, you could be seriously injured.
