Grading a Road Using a Stringline
P/N 7010-0344
5-25
Position the grade to make the pass by setting the edge of the
moldboard so it is about 1 1/2-2 feet past the centerline. To keep the
material from spilling out from the leading edge, rotate the moldboard
to a fairly steep angle.
Figure 5-33.
Change the direction of the cross slope and switch the cross slope to
Automatic Control. Then manually lower the leading edge until the
cutting edge just touches the finished grade at the centerline.
