in

severe

injury

or

death.

All

slopes require extra caution.

traction

unit

on

hillsides

or

slopes exceeding the angles

recommended

in

the

Stability

Reference

Bar

When

driving

the

the

reference

bar

as a

handle

and

a leverage

point

for

controlling

the

traction

control

and

the auxiliary hydraulics

lever.

To

ensure

smooth,

controlled operation,

do

not

take

both

hands

off

of

the reference

bar

while

operating

the

traction unit.

Traction

Control

To

move

forward,

move

the

traction

control

forward.

To

move

rearward,

move

the

traction

control

rearward (Figure 5).

To

turn

rotate

the traction

control

in

the desired

,

direction (Figure

5).

The

farther

you

move

the

traction

Arm/Attachment

Tilt Leyer

To

tilt the attachment forward, slowly

move

the

lever to the right (Figure 6).

To

tilt

the

attachment rearward, slowly

move

the

lever

to

the left (Figure 6).

To

lower the loader arms, slowly

move

the

lever

forward (Figure 6).
To

raise the loader arms, slowly

move

the lever

rearward (Figure

You can also

push

the lever fully forward

into

a

detent position (Figure

6)

to

release the loader

arms

so

that

the

attachment

rests

on

the ground.

This

allows attachments

such

as the leveler

and

the hydraulic blade to follow the contours

of

the

ground

(i.e., float)

when

grading.
