Troubleshooting
5) Trouble backing up with steering wheels going in the wrong direction (Note: This may occur
in extreme conditions such as mud, ice and/or snow.)
A) Take the hydraulic line out of the float position and then move the lever to pressurize the
cylinders. This will straighten the tires and then lock them.
B) System is still not steering properly, call Balzer’s Service Department at 1-800-795-8551

NOTE
“Grain Door Timing” In most cases, each time the grain doors are closed, they
will re-open evenly. If this is not occurring and is considered a problem
contact Blazer for information and help solving the situation.
