USING "['HE DOZER BLADE
Become familiar with all of the controls and adjustments
on the tractor and dozer blade before operating. Refer to
tractor owners manual for tractor controls. Controls for
operating dozer blade are as follows:
NOTE: Wheel weights and tire chains should be used
with your dozer to improve traction. For additional traction,
install wheel weight on rear of draw bar using a weight
bracket kit and one wheel weight from a wheel weight kit.
These accessories are available at your nearest Sears
retail or catalog sales.
LmFT HANDLE: (Figure 32)
Located on right hand side of tractor. To raise the
dozer blade, push the lift handle down until blade
locks in the up position. To lower the dozer blade,
push down slightly on the lift handle, depress trigger
and then lift up on handle to lower the blade.
Prepare the tractor engine for cold weather by
following the instructions furnished with the tractor.
Inspect the area to be worked carefully before
operating the dozer blade. Avoid pipes, roots, curbs or
other heavy obstructions.
BLADE ANGLE HANDLE: (Figure 32)
Located on the left hand side of tractor. When dozer
blade is in the up position, depress grip assembly
and push or pul! on handle to swivel blade to the right
or left. Release grip assembly to lock the blade in the
left, center or right position.
