Landoll ICON 1205 - Manual (Page 8)

Section 02
Hookup and Operation
The utilizes three hydraulic valves on the tractor, allowing it to function in
three different directions. The Carry All has the ability to raise to a clearance from bit to ground of 18 inches
while lowering to a negative cut. It can tilt from corner to corner approximately 15 degrees to accomplish
slope cuts and ditching. The third action is the clam function. All three of these functions can be done on the
go, or while the unit is stopped.
Color coded tie straps and markers are attached at the tip end of the hoses to identify the 6 hydraulic lines
on the machine. Black tie is the raise and lower of the blade. White tie is the clam function. Yellow is the tilt
of the bowl. The Carry All uses 5 hoses, with a Tee installed in the body tilt line. This allows one cylinder to
control the function.
NOTE: The tilt function is more responsive and easier to set, if the machine is lowered to
approximately 1/2 way. This allows both cylinders to have some free travel to adjust.
H
ookup of the hydraulic hoses to the remote can be done in any way to suit individual needs. The following
method is suggested: Raise/Lower of the blade to #1 valve. Clam function to #2, and bowl tilt to #3. Hook up
so push of the valve is lower and pull of the valve is to raise the blade
.
WARNING! Before Use, be certain that the cylinder stops are removed .
Be
patient for the first few hours of learning to operate the unit. Time and experience will produce expert
results. Any type of blade machine has the tendency to create a “washboard” effect if grading is done with
too much speed. Slow down and do the job right. The second tendency of any blade machine is to side draft
if the blade is cutting deep and enough power is applied. Practice centering the cut on the blade to balance
the draft. Operating at a higher speed may not get the job done quicker, and may provide less than quality
results.
This model is designed to be pulled with a maximum of 140hp . Additional horsepower will shorten the
life of the machine and will alter the Warranty. Responsible operation and proper maintenance will provide
many hours of expert results and a durable machine.
Caution
This machine is not intended for highway use, it should be used off road only.
If public roadway travel is necessary, be certain of regulations concerning width,
lighting, and safety chain requirements.
