OPERATION
Tilting operation
(A) RIGHT tilt
(b) HOLD: Blade is stopped and held in this position.
(B) LEFT tilt
Pitch operation (machine with power tilt power pitch specification)
Operate the blade control lever while pressing pitch button (C).
(D) Pitch angle in NEUTRAL: Cutting angle is in neutral
(E) FORWARD pitch: Cutting angle is increased.
REMARK
• The blade can be pitched when lever (7) is in the raise,
hold or lower position.
• When the right cylinder is most retracted (F), the blade
edge angle (pitch angle) is at the standard position. When
the right cylinder is extended (G), the blade is pitched for-
ward.
• When performing the pushing up operation, use it with for-
ward pitch. This setting can prevent the dirt from spilling
from the bowl on the front side of the blade or over the
blade top.
• When leveling the ground in reverse with the lever in the
float position, set the blade at the neutral blade cutting an-
gle (pitch angle) to finish the ground surface better.
