TURES
k k
The cab stays create blind spots.
When operating, check carefully that there is no person or
obstacle in the surrounding area.

RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS

In addition to the following, it is possible to further increase the range of applications by using various attach-
ments.
DOZING WORK
Cut soil and sand and move them forward. When cutting a
slope surface, it is more efficient to always cut from top toward
bottom.
When dozing toward one side only, operate with angled blade.
LEVELING WORK
NOTICE
Avoid leveling work on rocky or stony ground. It can damage the blade.
To finish the ground to a flat surface after digging or piling soil,
put a full load of soil on the front face of the blade and operate
the blade up and down in small movements while traveling for-
ward.
Finally, float the blade travel at low speed in reverse while pull-
ing the blade over the ground surface.
At this time, tilt the blade control lever to the stroke end secure-
ly while pressing FLOAT button.
Avoid running over stones or rocks to protect the blade.
