Grading Slope Transitions
Jobs with varying slopes are easily accomplished by dialing the
desired slope into the Control Box as you are grading. With the Smart
Knob switches, this can be done while keeping your hands on the
control levers.
The key to making this job easy is to mark the stations with he Cross
Slope so the operator can see the slope at least one station ahead.
Making the slope on a plastic coated paper plate and stapling the plate
to the witness lath is one simple solution. Each time you press the
Smart Knob button, the slope changes by 0.1%. This will produce a
smooth transitions as you are grading.
