OPERATION
LEVELING OPERATIONS
NOTICE
Always operate the machine in reverse when carrying out
leveling operations.
If it is necessary to carry out leveling operations when
traveling forward, do not set the bucket dumping angle to
more than 8 degrees.
1. Scoop soil into the bucket. Move the machine backward
while spreading soil from the bucket little by little.
2. Go over the spread soil with the bucket teeth touching the
ground and level the ground by back-dragging.
3. Scoop some more soil into the bucket, put the lift arm control lever in FLOAT position, level the bucket at
ground level, and smooth the ground by moving backward.
PUSHING OPERATION
Never set the bucket to the DUMP position when carrying out pushing operation.
When carrying out pushing operations, set the bottom of the bucket parallel to the ground surface.
LOAD AND CARRY OPERATIONS
When carrying a load, lower the bucket to lower the center
of gravity when traveling.
The load and carry method for wheel loaders consists of a
cycle of scooping -> hauling -> loading (into a hopper, truck,
etc.).
Always keep the travel path properly maintained.
When using the load and carry method, see "PRECAUTIONS
FOR USING LOAD AND CARRY METHOD (3-134)".
