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.
