Operation
CMW
Lower Plow
1. Ensure that the Trench / Plow switch is in the plow position.
2. Move ground drive hand control forward to plowing speed and lower plow blade into ground.
3. Move plow lift control to float.
4. Move plow swing control to float.
5. Increase engine speed to full throttle.
6. Move attachment speed/direction control forward to start plow vibration. PLOW WILL VIBRATE.
7. Reduce attachment speed to a point with the least tractor vibration and the highest ground drive speed
possible without track slippage. Adjust vibrator speed if ROPS vibrates excessively.
8. Check cable for damage during plowing. Run continuity checks on electric cable and check pipe
pressure. Damage can result from improper operation, incorrect blade choice, striking underground
obstructions, or other conditions.
NOTICE:
• Lower plow into ground before moving plow lift control or plow swing control to float.
• Do NOT move ground drive to reverse with plow blade in the ground.
IMPORTANT: Keep sod cutter edge sharp when plowing in areas with heavy grass cover or
surface clutter.
Note: In some soil conditions, changing vibrator weights can improve plow performance.
