Refilling; Leveling The Ground; Loading Method Onto A Truck; Loading Onto A Truck By Cross Loading Method - Kubota R430 Operator's Manual

OPERATION OF THE MACHINE
2. While adjusting the vertical movement of the
bucket, lift the bucket so that sand can be removed
by layers. Continue lifting the bucket as you
advance the machine.

3. Refilling

1. Direct the bucket horizontally and push the piled
sand toward the ditch.
2. When the bucket reaches the ditch, dump the
bucket to discharge the sand into the ditch.

4. Leveling the ground

1. Dump and tilt the bucket alternately to distribute the
soil from the bucket over the ground as you move
the machine backward.
2. Then, dump the bucket, lower the bucket, and move
the machine backward so that the blade scratches
the ground surface.
3. Direct the bucket horizontally, set the lift arms in the
"FLOATING" position using the control lever, and
level the ground while backing the machine.

the machine backward.
3. Then drive the truck to a point between the machine
