5.Remove the bracket (J, figure 5) from the tractor hitch by removing four pins and safety clips.

6.Reinstall all pins (king pin, pivot pin, clevis pins) and secure with spring or safety clip for storage.

OPERATION AND NORMAL CARE

Transporting

For maximum ground clearance, transport the blade to and from work areas fully raised and angled straight ahead.

A WARNING

Be particularly careful and operate at low trac- tor speeds in any area where the blade can hook on solid objects. Such objects can cause the tractor to be jarred or come to an abrupt stop.

Operation On Slopes

Never operate on slopes greater than 30 percent (16.7”) which is a rise of 3’ (91 cm) in lo’ (305 cm) forward. Use two rear wheel weights (one per wheel) when operating on slopes greater than 20 percent (11.3”).

Always operate up and down the face of slopes, and never across the face. Use a slow ground speed on slopes.

Dozing and Snow Plowing

When dozing, push the dirt to the desired location, then drag the blade backwards for final leveling. Pack down the dirt or gravel by driving the tractor over the leveled area.

Use any grade to your advantage. Plow downhill and set the blade angle so that plowed material (especial- ly snow) is moving downhill as it leaves the blade. For large drifts of snow, bite off small amounts instead of plowing a full blade width.

Always use full engine throttle and use the ground speed control lever to control ground speed and obtain the needed power to move the material. Operate at a safe speed, depending on conditions, so that you have complete control of the tractor. Rear wheel weights and chains are recommended for slip- pery surfaces.
