OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Adjusting the Blade Leveler
Without the blade leveler, it is inherent that the left rear
corner blade of the machine would leave a small divot
because there is not any dirt flow to fill the void left by the
left rear blade. The “Blade Leveler” re-directs soil from a
single twenty-four inch cover disc blade. It redirects soil
into the area mentioned above. The Blade Leveler is
adjustable in height, in angle, as well as laterally.
The performance of the blade leveler is a function of both
speed and field conditions (loose dirt present.)
1.
It is best to initially adjust the blade leveler to ride at
ground level, with the bottom edge parallel to the
ground. If it is set to high the loose dirt will escape
underneath of the blade and not be delivered to
where it is needed.
2.
If the ground speed will be ten miles per hour or
more, gap the blade leveler laterally a bit further left
of the left end cap of the left rear gang for most
working conditions. For most working conditions, it is
most effective when positioned approximately 1” to
1-1/2” to the left of the left rear gangbars left side end
cap.
