ELBOW AS 3295511 - Caterpillar

Raise blade approx. 18" (50 cm) above ground level. This prevents material from being forced under the machine. Compact large bulky items such as water heaters, refrigerators, stoves, etc. before dozing them into place. Compact these items with the outside edge of the front wheels. Work on a 3:1 slope for best compaction. If at all possible, the compactor should work uphill. Straddle previous tracks to achieve complete coverage of the fill area, when returning from end of fill. Three to five passes generally will give adequate compaction. However, make as many passes as are necessary to obtain proper compaction. Place bed springs and other wire on the bottom of the slope without compaction. Spread and compact other material on top of these items. When compacting, operate in second gear. In soft underfoot conditions, operate machine in first gear.
