Digging And Loading Level Ground - Hitachi ZW180 Operator's Manual

DIGGING AND LOADING LEVEL GROUND

IMPORTANT: While excavating with the bucket or fork,
never apply excessive traction force to the
tooth tips with the bucket or fork tiled more
than 10 degrees. Failure to do so may result
in cracking or damaging the work tools.
Slightly position the bucket teeth downward (0 to 10 degrees)
and dig the ground while driving the machine forward as de-
scribed below. Always take care not to apply loads to only to
one side of the bucket.
1. Position the bucket teeth slightly downward.
2. While driving the machine forward, tilt the bucket so that
the ground surface is gradually separated.
3. Adjust the digging depth by operating the lift arm.
4. Drive the machine with the bucket tilted backward fully
and held at the lowest possible position.
