12. OPERATION
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.

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 leveled off by fine
operation
of blade. The basic method is to operate the machine at low
speeds with the blade fully 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 CUTTING INTO HARD/ FROZEN GROUND OR DITCHING
NOTICE
Do not perform severe operations such as uprooting by angling or tilting
the blade.
For digging and ditch excavation
of hard or frozen ground, tilt the blade.
Even hard ground can be dug effectively by a tilted or angled blade.
