Electrical, Plumbing, Lubrication and Operation
Electrical:
If your loader is equipped with a 12V/4A OEM attachment control kit you may use that circuit to control the
electric solenoid. On loaders without a remote power source, the switching circuit must be installed onto the
loader. A power cord and switch are supplied. (See wiring instructions on page 13)
Plumbing:
The dozer is equipped with angle and tilt; the loader valve operates both functions through an electric crossover
valve that is installed on the dozer. The proper function of the system with angle and tilt is as follows: (See
plumbing diagram on pages 10-12.) The oil is routed directly to the tilt cylinder so it is available at all times to
produce level smooth dozing. To set angle, the operator energizes the solenoid with the OEM or Grouser wire
harness which will divert the oil ow into the angle cylinders.
Lubrication:
The angle pin is to be greased on a regular basis. The cylinder ears contain replaceable bushings and should be
checked for wear and replacement at the operator’s discretion.
Operation:
For maximum strength, the dozer was designed so the loader arms can be in the full down position against the
stops when dozing. If it is necessary to raise the arms in some situations then the operator must be careful not to
overload the arms and cause damage to them.

of proper lubrication, or improper use. Therefore, Grouser Products liability under this warranty shall not be e󰀨ective
or actionable unless the equipment is assembled, maintained and operated in accordance with the operating
instructions accompanying the equipment. Grouser Products shall have no liability if the equipment has been altered
or reworked without the written authorization of Grouser Products.
Grouser Products’ parts, which are furnished under this warranty and properly installed, shall be warranted
to the same extent as the original parts under this warranty if, and only if, such parts are found to be defective within
