Transporting a Loaded Bucket
Transport material with the bucket as low as possible to
prevent spilling and keep maximum stability. The loader must
be in a position that will not block the operators' vision. a
loaded bucket must not be transported in the upright position
or at excessive speed.
Observe the following safety warning when transporting a
loaded bucket.
Scraping
When scraping, the Boom lever must be used to keep the
bucket on the ground horizontally. The bucket must be kept

Backfilling/Backgrading
When "Backfilling" or "Backgrading", position the bucket so it
is level on the ground. Do not dump material from bucket
following each pass, as additional weight of material in
bucket will assist in "Backgrading" and increases loader
efficiency during "Backfilling".
Controlled Rate of Loader Functions
By "feathering" the control lever, reduced operational speeds
can be controlled. This action controls the position of the
valve spool in the valve body and regulates flow of oil to/from
cylinders. It is important utilize this operational practice when
lowering loader boom when the bucket is loaded with material.
