OPERATION 2- Move the blade to the extreme right, then move the circle to the right, until the cylinder rod has a protrusion of 127 mm (5 inches) and lower the blade to the ground with a light pressure.
4- Slightly raise the blade off the ground then raise the right hand end of the blade. At the same time, turn the circle such that the right hand end of the blade moves toward the front of the motorgrader (this will prevent the left hand end of the blade from hitch the ground). Simultaneously move the circle up using the side shift lever (in this case, pull the circle side shift lever toward the rear). NOTE: As the left end of the blade gets a clearance from the ground, it will be necessary to simultaneously lower the left end of the blade when raising the right end.
Blade positioned to one side of the motorgrader

After the saddle has been turned to the desired position, align the pin holes and reengage the lock pins. Blade in 900 slope position 5- Proceed with the operation (as in item 4) until the blade is positioned as shown in the illustration. then, turn the blade (using circle rotation) to the desired position. IMPORTANT: During backfill operations, improved control of the blade may be possible by using the angle of the front wheels to push the blade in the direction required or moving it away from the fill.
