BLADE DOWN PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT

The blade is equipped with a safety trip to allow the blade to pitch forward and glide over low obstructions such as sidewalk edges. The blade has a 54-Inch cutting width so the tractor wheels will track within the patch cleared by the blade. The cutting edge of the blade can be inverted for a new cutting surface. After both cutting edges have been worn away, it should be replaced.

ADJUITII. AID OPEIATII. BLADE TILTING ADJUSTMENT

For forward pitch (top edge of blade forward of the cutting edge) mount the pitch adjusting bracket in the hole closest to the trip spring. This position gives the least cutting action.

~

The blade can be tilted from horizontal 5 or 10 degrees for terracing. NOTE: When tilting the blade, the pivot frame Is to be mounted to the blade mounting brackets the same number of holes above the center hole on one side as below the center hole on the opposite side.

For neutral pitch (top edge of blade even with the cutting edge) mount the pitch adjusting bracket In the center hole. This pitch gives moderate cutting action. For rearward pitch (top edge of blade behind the cutting edge) mount the pitch adjusting. bracket in the hole farthest from the trip spring. This pitch gives the greatest cutting action.
