SMOOTH START

ing is smooth and cutting shape is same as preset. This function is called Smooth Start.
If Smooth Start function is enabled, adjust the travel speed with the decelerator pedal when starting dozing.
Enable or disable Smooth Start function according to the work.
If the operation is not dozing but spreading or to start dozing at steep angle in particular, make Smooth Start
function disabled.
REMARK
• The cutting shape by Smooth Start varies depending on the dozing mode.
When “Spreading” is selected, cutting angle becomes steeper compared to that at “Cutting & Carry” or

• Smooth Start function is not available for “Simple Grading”, so you cannot select it.
• Smooth Start function is only available when design surface (T) is lower than the blade edge. It does not
function when design surface (T) is higher than the blade edge.
