ABSTRACT:
A grade control alignment device and method used in combination with a machine having an automatic grade control system to control the grade or elevation of a working implement. The alignment device is mounted on the machine and a sighting reference is visually aligned with a grade reference line which is set at a predetermined desired elevation. By periodically viewing the alignment device the operator determines if the automatic control is maintaining the working implement at the proper grade. If the proper grade is not being maintained, the operator overrides the automatic control to adjust the grade of the working implement.
