OPERATING PROCEDURE (CONT’D)
Leveling The Ground Using Float
Figure 62
Move the Lift Arm / Attachment Tilt Control Lever (Item 1)
[Figure 62] all the way forward until the lever is in the
locked position to put the lift arms in the float position.
Move the lever to the right (Item 2) [Figure 62] to change
the position of the bucket cutting edge.
With the bucket tilted farther forward, there is more force
on the cutting edge and more loose material can be
moved.
Drive backward to level loose material.
Move the Lift Arm / Attachment Tilt Control Lever
backward to the NEUTRAL position to unlock from the
float position.
IMPORTANT
Never drive forward when the hydraulic control for lift
arms is in float position.
