Bulldoz er Blade Tip
SMCS Code: 6060; 7000
The standard position for the cutting edge angle is 56
degrees. This provides optimum performance under
normal conditions.
Tip the blade forward in order to obtain a cutting edge
angle up to 60 degrees. Tipping the blade forward
provides improved penetration in hard materials.
Tip the blade rearward in order to obtain a cutting
edge angle up to 52 degrees. Tipping the blade
rearward provides a better carrying capability of soft
material.

The bulldozer blade can be placed in several pitch
p
ositions such as the following pitches: the extended
position (A), the middle position (B), and the retracted
position (C).
1. Lower the bulld
ozer blade to the ground. Place the
control for the lift cylinder in the FLOAT position.
2. Actuate the ti
lt cylinder in order to remove all force
from the tilt brace. Boss (5) must be loose and
able to move freely. Stop the engine.
3. Remove pin (2) and cover (1), if necessary.
NOTICE
Keep fingers
clear. Do not place your fingers into the
pin holes in the tilt brace and/or push arm bracket at
any time during the adjustment procedure.
4. Install the slotted end of cover (1) onto boss (5).
5. Turn the to
p link until the desired cutting angle is
set.
6. Install t
he cover (1) and replace locking pin (2).
Note: If the cover plate does not cover both mounting
