Left-Hand "V" Ditching
CAUTION
Make sure the blade is lowered to the ground before retracting the centershift lock pin. Failure to follow
this caution may result in damage to machine.
Make sure frame is in straight alignment. If the machine is articulated, the tire sidewalls may be forced
against the back slope, causing tire sidewall damage and also forcing dirt between the tire and rim, caus-
ing air loss and flat tires.
1.
Set the centershift lock pin in the center position. Move the centershift lock pin lever to the INDEX and RUN position.
2.
Set the blade with the left end in line with the outer
edge of the left front tire. Tilt the blade so the top of
