  • Page 65 OPERATION MACHINE OPERATIONS AND CONTROLS When driving down the deep step, the speed of blade by the automatic control may not catch up the dropping speed of the machine and a hollow is generated on the ground. If the machine is about to drop, raise the blade by using the blade control lever.
  • Page 66 MACHINE OPERATIONS AND CONTROLS OPERATION (T) Design surface PUSH AND TURN OPERATION Push and turn work is such operation that the machine pushes piled soil forward and spread it while changing the direction by turning. Select “Cutting & Carry”. The method of the automatic control of blade is the same as of spreading operation. Turn the machine to the direction of spreading by referring to “SPREADING OPERATION”.
  • Page 67 OPERATION MACHINE OPERATIONS AND CONTROLS Angling operation is not an automatic operation. Operate the angle switch to angle the blade. NATURAL GROUND SIDE-CUTTING OPERATION Natural ground side-cutting work is the operation to pull down the soil by using one side of blade. Select “Spreading”.
