WARNING

NOTICE
Learning to Operate the Grader
Be patient for the first few hours of learning to operate the
grader. Time and experience will produce expert results.
Any type of blade machine has the tendency to create a
“washboard” effect if grading is done with too much
speed. Slow down and do the job right. The second
tendency of any blade machine is to side draft if the blade
is cutting deep and enough power is applied. Practice
centering the cut on the blade to balance the draft.
Operating the Grader at a higher speed may not get the
job done quicker, and may provide less than quality
results. It is also recommended that the weight box be
filled prior to use. This will also aid in preventing side
draft, and bounce.
The grader is designed to be pulled with a maximum of
300hp. Additional horsepower will shorten the life of the
grader and will alter the Warranty. Responsible operation
and proper maintenance will provide many hours of
expert results and a durable machine.
CAUTION
Before angling the blade, make sure the grader is
taken out of transport position. And be certain
that the cylinder stops are removed before use.
When digging in a populated area, it is
recommended that a call be made to area utilities
to establish the local of any buried pipes, lines, or
structures. When digging in open area, research
and know the local of any underground
structures and objects.
Striking the blade and bit against surface or
buried objects can cause damage to the grader
and is considered as abuse to the machine.
Operator abuse will not be a warranty item.
This machine is not intended for highway use, it
should be used off road only.
If public roadway travel is necessary, be certain
of regulations concerning width, lighting, and
safety chain requirements.
