Drive wheel slippage - Install tire chains, or calcium chloride solution in tires.
Blade gouging holes or digging too deep when clearing or leveling - Adjust skid shoes and/or move hydraulic control lever forward to the float position.
Blade penetrates too much and will not float over uneven surfaces or obstacles - Unlock blade from rigid position and move hydraulic control lever forward to float position.
Blade will not penetrate when digging or operating on hard soil surfaces - Lock blade in rigid position and operate at a slow travel speed.
