OPERATION AND NORMAL CARE
Transporting
For maximum ground clearance, transport the blade
to and from work areas fully raised and
angled
straight ahead.
A
WARNING
Be particularly careful and operate at low trac-
tor speeds in any area where the blade can
hook on solid objects. Such objects can
cause the tractor to be jarred or come to an
abrupt stop.
Operation On Slopes
Never operate on slopes greater than 30 percent
(16.7”) which is a rise of 3’ (91 cm) in
lo’ (305 cm)
forward. Use two rear wheel weights (one per wheel)
when operating on slopes greater than 20 percent
(11.3”).
Always operate up and down the face of slopes, and
never across the face. Use a slow ground speed on
slopes.
Dozing and Snow Plowing
When dozing, push the dirt to the desired location,
then drag the blade backwards for final leveling. Pack
down the dirt or gravel by driving the tractor over the
leveled area.
Use any grade to your advantage. Plow downhill and
set the blade angle
so
that plowed material (especial-
ly snow) is moving downhill as it leaves the blade. For
large
drifts
of snow,
bite
off small amounts instead of
plowing a full blade width.
Always use full engine throttle and use the ground
speed control lever to control ground speed and
obtain the needed power to move the material.
Operate at a safe speed, depending on conditions, so
that you have complete control of the tractor. Rear
wheel weights and chains are recommended for slip-
pery surfaces.
