After scarifying, which of the following is the first step for setting up the RHGG?

The first step for setting up the Road High Grader Gear (RHGG) after scarifying is to lean the wheels toward the heel. This action is essential because it properly positions the grader’s wheels for the next processes in grading. Leaning the wheels toward the heel allows for better traction and stability, ensuring that the grader maintains control and precision as it begins to shape the material that has just been scarified.

By leaning the wheels, the grader operator can effectively manage the angle of the moldboard and create the desired contour during the grading operation. This setup optimizes the machine's balance and enhances the efficiency of subsequent steps, such as adjusting the blade or placing the grader in motion. Therefore, initiating the setup with the correct wheel positioning lays the groundwork for successful grading work.
