(7) Shims Height Adjustment
In order to properly adjust the height of the blade, use the following procedure:
Start the engine.
Position the blade so that the vertical pivot pin (5) is in the vertical position.
Move the angle of the blade fully from one side to the other side. The blade cutting edge should remain parallel to the ground.
If the blade cutting edge does not remain parallel to the ground, the height of the blade needs to be adjusted. Use the following steps in order to adjust the height:
Lower the blade and the frame onto adjustable stands.
Stop the engine and remove the ignition key.
Remove the bolts (6) for adjusting the height.
Move the frame to the desired height.
Ensure that the shims are installed. Install the bolts for adjusting the height. Tighten the bolts to a torque of 270 40 N m (199 30 lb ft).
In order to test the adjustment, start the engine.
Repeat steps 2 and 3. Tilt Lock
The angle blade has two modes of operation:
Locked
Spring load tripIn order to lock the blade, install the locking pin (4). In the locked position, the blade can be used for heavy operations. The blade will not tilt with the locking pin in the locked position.There may be lighter operations that allow the blade to tilt. Remove the locking pin and store the locking pin in the cab. This will help prevent damage to the blade or to the frame. If the plowing overcomes 306 kg (675 lb) of spring force, the top of the blade will tilt forward.
