How to use a bulldozer

Operators at times have a hard time while operating heavy
equipment. They feel that while they are used to one particular
type of machine when they are given to work on an equipment that
has new configuration it takes time for them to understand those
configurations and get their hands used to the system. They also
have to understand the various features and their importance that
is installed in a machine making the process more complicated.
However once they are used to the system and they understand the
features well they do not see much problem in using it. Using a
bulldozer in particular has been found to be tougher amongst
operators as compared to any other form of heavy equipment. The
most common issue encountered by many operators is with steering
the machine in the right direction. They sort of tend to lose their
control while maneuvering the machine which leads to casualties and
losses. There has to be a systematic way to use a bulldozer and
that is discussed as follows:- Enter the cabin with a calm mind:-
We have enough problems to deal with in our day to day lives but we
can’t carry the load of those problems with us wherever we go and
especially when it is about going to work you simply can’t carry it
there. You have to leave all your worries and hassles right before
you enter the workplace and this stands right for the operator as
well. You should not enter the cabin if you are tensed or worried
about anything. You had a quarrel at home or an argument with your
boss. It is better that you take some time doing nothing and clam
your mind. You should not work on a bulldozer while you are angry
or running through emotions. It can turn out into a bigger mess.
Have a chat with your friend, check out a funny video on YouTube
and once you feel that you are fresh and ready to work, get inside
the cabin. Have good control on the paddle and the brakes:- Keep
your legs strong while you are using a bulldozer. You use your legs
to increase or decrease the speed of the machine as well as when
you apply brakes on it. Your legs should not be shaky while you are
using the bulldozer. Ideally, the paddle of the bulldozer is
located just behind the brake. This means that you should be well
trained and have practiced enough before using the mechanisms. Use
joystick to steer the machine as well as to use the blades:-
Joysticks are quite a helpful device as long as you know how to use
them. It can be used to steer the machine and also used to move the
blades in the right direction. The blades of the bulldozer are used
to shove the mud to give a plain surface. An operator who has loads
of experience in using joysticks to move the blades can do the work
the right way at the first time. Rest may take some time to master
the work.
