Grading On Curves

P/N 7010-0344

5-47

When articulating the grader for special applications, side shift the 
circle assembly so the draw bar assembly is perpendicular to the 
direction of slope. Because the Mainfall Sensor is not measuring in 
the direction of travel, there may be a small error in the slope cut. 
After roughing in, straighten the grader to make a correct finish pass, 
or just adjust the slope dialed in until the correct slope is being cut.
