CONTROL FUNCTIONS

The information below briefly describes the function of individual controls. Operating the tractor and dozer require the combined use of these controls and additional controls whose operation is described in the tractor Operator’s Manual.

A. Angling Control Lever

The angling control lever is used to change the angle of the dozer blade.

While the engine is running, moving the lever forward rotates the blade counterclockwise. Moving the lever back rotates the blade clockwise.

B. Attachment Lift

The attachment lift pedals (see inset above) raise and lower attachments such as the dozer blade.

To RAISE an attachment, depress the REAR attachment lift pedal. To LOWER an attachment, depress the FRONT attachment lift pedal.

C. Two-Speed Control

The two-speed control (see inset above) allows the opera- tor to switch the transmission into high or low-speeds, and to disengage the transmission into a NEUTRAL (free- wheeling) position.

Select the low-speed for all Dozing work and high- speed for travelling to and from work areas. DO NOT SHIFT WHILE MOVING. See the Tractor Operator’s Manual for more details.
