Grading
Bulldozing
1. Raise or lower the dozer blade using the control
lever located to the right of the travel levers/pedals.
See Figure 3-43. Move the lever forward to lower
the dozer blade, rearward to raise the dozer blade.
2. The boom must be fully raised and the bucket
curled in (up) when grading.
3. When grading, the material may be pushed away to
the front or the side.
4. Raise the dozer blade slightly if excessive resis-
tance occurs.
5. When the blade is in position, use the travel con-
trols to move the machine as in normal travel.

Mounting/Removing Buckets
ALWAYS
wear protective goggles, helmets, gloves,
steel-toed shoes, etc.
DO NOT
service the bucket while the engine is
running.
DO NOT
stand behind the bucket when removing the
pins.
DO NOT
use your hands or fingers to align the bucket
and dipper arm holes.
ALWAYS
verify the bucket is safely locked before
starting the engine and resuming operation.
Removing A Bucket
1. Lower the bucket to the ground with the flat side
facing down (1, Figure 3-44).
2. Stop the engine.
3. Remove the two lynch pins (2A and 2B, Figure 3-
44).
WARNING
•
Be sure there is proper clearance for the
front end attachments when bulldozing.
•
Be sure that the front end attachments
do not contact overhead power lines or
obstructions during bulldozing.
•
DO NOT drive the machine into the
excavation or onto loose soil, which can
cause an unstable condition, and could
possibly tip the machine.
WARNING
•
DO NOT use a hammer directly on a
securing pin to loosen it. The pounding
may cause splintering, which may lead
to serious injury.
•
The bucket can crush hands or feet. DO
NOT use your hands or feet as
substitutes for the correct equipment.
IMPORTANT
Place the bucket against the ground with
minimum pressure. More pressure in-
creases resistance, which will make it more
difficult to remove the pins.
