Operating tips
The operating tips given in this section do not include all
possible conditions. This is basic information that can
help you move more material in less time.
If you are a new operator, always operate the machine
in an open area at decreased speed until you know the
function of each control.
Engine speed
Run the engine at full throttle when safe. The ground
condition and type of job will control the track speed and
range position that you use.
Blade pitch
Rearward position advantages
1. Blade is able to push larger load.
2. Blade will stay on top in soft ground.
3. Blade will not dig into ground.
4. Blade best used for fine grading.
Forward position advantages
1. Load slides off the blade as the crawler travels in re-
verse.
2. Blade will dig into hard ground.
3. Less load spillage over top of blade.
NOTE: See page 6-3 for the blade pitch adjustment
procedure.
Blade lift eye
Do not pull, tow, or lift the machine using the blade lift eye.
