OPERATING TIPS ￿￿￿￿￿￿￿

„Look down and to the rear and make sure area is clear before operating in reverse.

„Do not operate on steep slopes.

„Do not stop, start, or change directions sud- denly on slopes.

„Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on slopes and rough terrain.

￿￿￿￿￿￿￿

„Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during operation.

„Before working underneath, read manual instructions, securely block up, and check stability. Secure blocking prevents equipment from drop- ping due to hydraulic leak down, hydraulic system failure, or mechanical component failure.

CAUTION

„Stop power unit and equipment immediately upon striking an obstruction. Turn off engine, remove key, inspect, and repair any damage before resuming operation.

BACKFILLING

For backfilling ditches or trenches, reverse the blade by rotating counter-clockwise and back push.

LEVELING AND GRADING

Set the blade to the desired position of offset, angle and tilt for leveling and grading.
