4-In-1 Operation And Control - Toro 22478 Operator's Manual

CAUTION
Hydraulic couplers, hydraulic lines/valves,
and hydraulic fluid may be hot. If you contact
hot components, you may be burned.
• Wear gloves when disconnecting the
hydraulic couplers.
• Allow the machine to cool before touching
hydraulic components.
• Do not touch hydraulic fluid spills.
4-in-1 Operation and
Control
After you attach the 4-in-1 bucket to the mount plate
of the traction unit, ensure that the hydraulic couplers
are connected. Start and run the machine at full
throttle (maximum engine speed).
Bucket Operation
With the jaws completely closed, you can use this
attachment as a standard bucket. You can also open
the 4-in-1 bucket jaws to dump the contents into a
higher area than a standard bucket can reach.
When loading material, always have the bucket level
to the ground and move forward into the material to
be lifted. When the bucket is full, tilt it rearward to
decrease the lifting resistance when you lift the load.
When transporting a load, keep the bucket as close
to the ground as possible.
Leveller Operation
With the jaws completely open, you can use the
bucket floor's rear cutting edge as a leveller. Tip the
bucket slightly forward so that the rear cutting edge of
the bucket floor is on the ground and the forward edge
is off the ground. Lower the cutting edge and begin
leveling by dragging it in reverse across the surface
of the ground.
Blade Operation
With the jaws completely open, you can use the back
of the bucket as a blade to push material. You can
also partially close the jaws and using the bottom of
the front bucket to knock the top of clumps and grade
with the rear blade.
When scraping, levelling and surface stripping, lower
the blade to the ground, ensuring that the cutting edge
makes contact. The blade will bite into the soil as you
move forward.
•
Clean the area of trash, branches, and rocks
before beginning blade work to prevent equipment
damage.
•
Always begin with the slowest ground speed
possible. Increase speed if conditions permit.
•
When scraping, leveling, and surface stripping,
lower the blade to the ground, ensuring that the
cutting edge makes contact. The blade bites into
the soil as you move.
Grapple Bucket Operation
Use the side jaws for picking up material by closing
them over objects or materials to be transported
(Figure 3).
Note:
Take care when using this method that you do
not crush an object that you are picking up between
the side jaws.
