The best strategy is to let the On Grade indicator guide any adjustment.

• If the plow is predominantly tracking below the target (too low), according to On Grade indicator, increase
it.
• If the plow is predominantly tracking above the target (too high), according to On Grade indicator,
decrease it.
• Otherwise leave it alone.
Even when the Pitch Zero is well adjusted, the on-grade indicator may reflect deviations from on grade,
which is normal and expected. The plow tends to round off sharp corners in the target profile. This will
cause either high or low indications as it does so.
There is also a certain amount of deviation within a channel about the target profile that is typical as the
control system hunts for the target and responds to external disturbances such as driving over rough
terrain. The operator should remain aware of the on-grade indicator, and if grade error starts becoming
abnormally large or erratic, he should look for any of number of pitfalls which can be giving rise to the
problem.
Noise or error in the GPS elevation, noise in the pitch signal, rocks, soft spots, some degree of control
system hunting and overshoot, among other things, can cause brief deviations from on grade. Only
when the plow is consistently high or low does the Pitch Zero need adjustment.
If any of the following occur, the Suggested Calibration should be ignored:
• Operating in the “Installing” state while the plow is out of the ground.
• Operating in the “Installing” state, while any external force is being applied to the shank, including any of
the following:
- Lifting or lowering using the three-point hitch or wheel frame
- Not placing the three-point hitch or wheel frame into float during installation
- Exerting force on the shank by manually extending or retracting a hydraulic cylinder such as the
diagonal lift cylinder on a Parallel link plow
- Operating a Soil-Max pull-type plow too shallow such that the wheel cylinder forces have too large a
component in the vertical direction.
• Operating in the “Installing” state when GPS, GPS quality or GPS RTK correction is lost.
• Installing a tile run in Pre-Ripped ground
• Operating in the “Installing” state when the three-point hitch, wheel frame, or raise/lower diagonal cylinder
on a parallel link plow is not fully in float.
If any is known to occur, the Suggested Calibration number should be ignored until after the next run.
