instructions provided in this manual.

CONTROL FUNCTIONS
The information below briefly describes the function of individual controls. Operating the tractor and dozer require the
combined use of these controls and additional controls whose operation is described in the tractor Operator's Manual.
A. Blade Angle Release Lever
The blade angle release lever controls a spring-loaded
tab which locks the blade at specific angles.
Squeezing on this lever pulls the locking tab out of it's
locked position, and allows the blade to be angled.
Releasing the lever allows the locking tab to lock into an
adjustment slot.
B. Angling Control Lever
The angling control lever is used (with the blade angle
release lever) to manually change the blade angle.
C. Attachment Lift
The attachment lift pedals (see inset above) raise and
lower attachments such as the dozer blade.
To RAISE an attachment, depress the REAR attachment
lift pedal. To LOWER an attachment, depress the
FRONT attachment lift pedal.
D. Two-Speed Control
The two-speed control allows the operator to switch the
transmission into high or low-speeds, and to disengage the
transmission into a NEUTRAL (free-wheeling) position.
Select the low-speed for all Dozing work and high-
speed for travelling to and from work areas. DO NOT
SHIFT WHILE MOVING. See the Tractor Operator's
Manual for more details.
