12.10 WORK POSSIBLE USING BULLDOZER
In addition to the following, it is possible to further increase the
range of applications by using various attachments.
12.10.1 DOZING
A bulldozer digs and transports dirt in a forward direction. Slope
excavation can always be most effectively carried out by proceeding
from the top downward.
When dozing toward one side only, operate with angled blade
(angledozer only).
12.10.2 SMOOTHING
NOTICE
Avoid smoothing on rocky or stony ground. It can damage the
blade.
Uneven ground surfaces remaining after digging can be levelled
off by fine operation of blade. The basic method is to operate the
machine at low steeds with the blade fullv loaded with soil and
sand. A flat finished surface is also possible by slowly backing the
machine with the blade “floating” so it is dragged across the
surface. However, avoid this on rocky or stony ground, as it may
damage the blade.
12.10.3 DITCHING OR EXCAVATING HARD OR FROZEN
GROUND
Tilt the blade when digging hard or frozen ground. Tilting the
blade is effective for digging even on hard ground.
For even harder ground, using the ripper (optional) to break up the
hard ground first makes it possible to carry out efficient blade
operations.
