TM 5-3805-263-14&P-13.Set the blade horizontal at the desired depth of thecut.4.Lean the wheels to the left to overcome the sidedraft.5.Tip the blade to the best position for the materialbeing worked. Start with the top of the moldboardslightly ahead of the cutting edge.6.Under good conditions, work the material from sideto side.7.Spread the loose material over the surface until it issmooth.Normally, the machine is used with the frame straight forflat blading. Articulate it to counteract side draft fromheavy blade loads. Turn the front of the tandems towardthe heel of the moldboard.If the wheels start to spin, turn the front of the tandemsaway from the heel of the moldboard. This will reducethe width of the cut and reduce the load on the machine.In normal leveling work, deliver the material to theoutside of the rear wheels. This will maintain a smoothsurface for the rear wheels.58
