SPECIFICATIONS AND MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE

The rugged and durable automatic control system
is built to last, but as with all equipment, a few
minutes of routine care, maintenance, and cleaning
can extend the life of the system.

Storage and Transport

Most often the Laser Grading Box and its hydraulic

controls remain on the machine. However, the
Control Panel, Laser Sensor, Coiled Sensor Cable
and Solenoid Cable should be stored in a safe,
protected place when not in use. Protect the cable
connections by installing any covers supplied.

Cables and Hoses

Check all cables and hoses regularly for signs of

wear and damage. Keep cable connections clean

and free from dirt and corrosion. If a cable has been
damaged, do not attempt to repair. Incorrect or poor
connections can cause damage to your automatic
control system.

When applicable, check the hydraulic hoses. Look
for areas where the hoses could rub against each

other or another object as they expand and contract

under pressure. Check the hydraulic fittings for
tightness.

Machine

Check areas that affect the Automatic Control
system function and accuracy, such as looseness or
play in the cylinders or wear on the box’s cutting
edge. Looseness in the connection to the tractor/
skid steer, such as in the adaptor plate/3-point hitch,

will cause inaccurate depth positioning.

Also check the tractor/skid steer routinely for wear
to its components, such as loader pins and 3-point
linkage, ensuring it is operating properly.

Calibration

Perform periodic calibration checks of the Rotating
Laser System as outlined in its Operation Manual
to ensure accurate performance.

SERVICE

If the automatic control system is not functioning
properly, the first step is to determine the problem
component. Use the Troubleshooting Chart to
determine possible causes and remedies.

A CAUTION

The automatic control system is a highly sophis­
ticated electronic system. Do not attempt repairs

to the components. Contact your local dealer if

you have any problems.
