To enter the leveling panel, tap either or , depending on whether you are using a
tandem scraper or dual scraper. See Dual scraper controls (page 449) or Tandem scraper
controls (page 450).

Determine which leveling model you want to use:
ll Point and Slope mode (page 437)
l Flat Plane (Laser) and Flat Plane (GPS) modes (page 438)
l Define a plane (page 439)
l Contour mode (page 443)
Leveling models
You have different leveling options, depending on the leveling mode that you selected:
l Point and Slope mode
l Flat Plane (Laser) and Flat Plane (GPS)mode
l Contour mode
Point and Slope mode
Slope is the percentage of vertical drop compared to horizontal travel. A positive slope goes
upward, and a negative slope goes downward. For example, if the slope is set to -1%, the slope will
drop 1ft for every 100ft horizontally traveled.
When you drive in Point and Slope mode, the Leveling panel displays the following controls.
Button Explanation
Coarse
/
Fine
Coarse: The blade will move by large increments.
Fine:The blade will move by small increments.
Edit
Tap to view or change the Slope Adjust increment. This setting
controls the amount the gradient changes each time you
increase or decrease the design slope.
For example, if the leveling gradient is set to -3%, and the slope
adjust is set to 2%, when you decrease the design slope
amount, the leveling gradient decreases to -5%.
Tap to increase the design slope by the
Slope Adjust
increment.
Tap to decrease the design slope by the
Slope Adjust
increment.
Bench
or
Re-Bench
Tap to create a benchmark or re-bench.
Set the Design Height equal to the Blade Height.
