the dozer blade and boom functions.
2. Switch the track width change / dozer
select lever to the “Track width change”
position.
3. Push the control lever forward, and
expand the track width to 49 in. (1240
mm).
4. Remove soil and sand adhered to the
slide pipes, then put grease evenly
around the pipes. Make sure all 4 slide
pipes are greased.
5. Retract and expand the track width
repeatedly for a few times by moving the
control lever, so that the grease is spread
adequately.
6. Switch the track width change / dozer
select lever to the “Dozer” position.
7. Place the machine down on the ground
carefully by moving the dozer blade and
the boom.
