Hi guys, I'm slowly working out all the levers of my dozer and my hands are going to the correct ones when I'm fresh but I frequently stuff up when I've been going for a while. Just so different to the excavator.
My question is on the use of the main clutch lever in my left hand. All the way forward it is disengaged and all the way back it clicks in to the lock position fully engaged. When operating the dozer should I always endeavour to get it fully locked in the engaged position or is it OK to slow things down by having it partially engaged and slipping of the clutch or will this cause it to wear prematurely or is it designed to tolerate that sort of use. With pushing up the trees I have pushed over I feel a bit vulnerable with it locked in if a branch were to come through the front at me I just can't release it without having to push it forward whereas if it was not locked in I would just have to let go of it and things would stop.
Also when I park her up for the night does it matter in which position I leave it?
This probably seems like a basic question but I know you guys will have the right answer for me.
Thanks
Ken
