I think you would find the instructions give you the info you seek. However, we are having an issue with the tech library information at this time, so you cannot download it. Perhaps someone can email it to you has already downloaded it.

That is absolutely incorrect. You cannot and should not use down force on a front blade. You will bend the piss out of the rod that lifts it. The front blade lift mechanism is not designed for down force. You should always run a front blade in the float position. If it "floats" over material, then you will have to find another way to break it up. Besides, a blade works just like a plow. If it is sharp and adjusted right it should try to dig in. There are times it won't, but we have to keep in mind it's a very small blade. It will sometimes "float" over what we are trying to scrape off. In that case, you need a bigger tractor with a bigger blade.
Don't run the front blade with it locked down, or while using downforce.
