EXPLANATION OF COMPONENTS OPERATION DECELERATION PEDAL WARNING Do not place your foot on this pedal unnecessarily. When passing over the top of a hill or when a load is dumped over a cliff, the load is suddenly reduced, so there is danger that the travel speed will also increase suddenly. To prevent this, depress the decelerator pedal to reduce the travel speed. This pedal (6) is used to lower the engine speed. Depress this pedal to reduce the speed when shifting between forward and reverse or when stopping the machine. BLADE CONTROL LEVER POWER TILTDOZER This lever (7) is used to lift or tilt the blade. Lifting control (a) RAISE: (b) HOLD: Blade is stopped and held in this position.
(c) LOWER: (d) FLOAT: Blade will move freely according to external force. REMARK When released from FLOAT position, this lever will not return to HOLD position, so it must be moved back by hand. If the engine is stopped when the lever is at the FLOAT position, the control lever will automatically return to the HOLD position. Before starting the engine, check that the blade control lever is at the HOLD position. The engine will not start when it is at the FLOAT position. In cold weather, it will take time for the lever to be held at the HOLD position, so hold the lever by hand at the HOLD position for at least 1 second. 3-22
