Hello all,
I have a question about 633D, 25W machines. The operators like to half-open the floor and use the resulting straight edge to blade roads, level the fill, etc. They swear up and down it's OK to do so.
The mechanics say this should never be done, it is hard on the rear of the machine and the linkages and cylinders that open and close the floor.
One of the shop guys says he saw a show on National Geographics TV about big earthmovers. He said they specifically mentioned this practice.
I have searched the operater's manuals and can find no mention of this practice-yea or nay. Can anyone cite Cat literature that addresses this issue?
Thanks,
Keith
