Material Control Blade Adjustment
Refer to Figure 3-2:
The material control blade can be adjusted three ways:
1. The gap between the bottom of the material control
blade and the top of the roller can be adjusted by the
adjuster bolt (#1). In general a wider gap will allow
larger rocks to pass through and will allow the dirt to
pass through faster for higher ground speeds. Make
sure the gap is the same on both ends of the blade.
Normal gap width is around 3/4”.
2. The pitch of the material control blade can be
adjusted by loosening the bolt (#2) and bolt (#3) and
pivoting the material control blade around the bolt
(#3). Normally a line from the top edge of the
material control blade to the bottom edge of the
material control blade should intersect the center of
the roller.
3. The material control blade can be adjusted front to
rear by loosening the bolt (#4) and moving the
material control blade front to rear in the slot (#5).
Normally the dimension “A” should be close to 1 3/4”.
