3.
Set the Park Brake.
4.
Idle the Engine for gradual cooling.
5.
Turn the Key Switch to OFF and remove the key. Take the key with you for security reasons.
NOTE
When the engine is stopped, be sure the Key Switch is in the OFF position. Loss of battery power
will result if left in the ON position.
NOTE
If working on any public road or shoulder, be sure the machine is the prescribed distance from the
highway as designated by laws in your area. NEVER lower attachments from any position except when
seated in the operator’s seat.
WORKING APPLICATION TIPS
The type of terrain, grading or backfilling application should determine the best choice for using
hydraulic equipment and attachments on the machine.
When finish-grading or leveling under good conditions, work the material from side to side.
Select the desired working speed by depressing the Forward or Reverse Direction/Speed Control
Pedals, as needed.
NOTE
Grading, loading, and ripping should be done in low CREEP or WORK speed. TRAVEL speed
should be used for moving the machine from place to place.
1.
When ditching or sloping, you may find it necessary to raise and/or lower one or both ends of
the Moldboard, whichever prevails in your situation.
To set or maintain the desired cutting depth of the Moldboard, use the Joystick to lower or raise the
Moldboard while SLOWLY driving the machine forward.
A sloping grade may be made by lowering the left or right end of the Moldboard from the horizontal
plane as desired.
1.
TILT the Moldboard forward for better use in grading imbedded gravel, soft soils, clay or
sandy terrain. The center position is for general use. Tilting it all the way back is
recommended for efficient cutting of hard surfaces.
For maximum cut, TILT the Moldboard to the extreme backward position. For leveling, begin with the top
of the Moldboard slightly ahead of the bottom.
1.
To assist in rolling material to the desired area, on the right or left side, adjust the ANGLE of
the Moldboard accordingly.
2.
Side shift the Moldboard to cast material outside of the tires’ path by using the BLADE SHIFT
Control. Side shifting the Moldboard also allows continued grading in a straight path while
avoiding obstructions or obstacles at the end of the Moldboard.
