Loading System

Dwg. #11144001
A hydraulically powered bucket is used to transfer the cement and the aggregate from the ground, and
dumped into the mixer.
The bucket is secured in the travel position by a pin through the bucket arm.
Caution: Failure to install SAFETY PIN prior to travel could result in the bucket falling causing
extensive damage to the machine and possible personnel injury.
The bucket is hydraulically operated. A directional control valve is used to divert oil flow to a cylinder.
The operator engages the control valve handle to determine direction of bucket travel. NOTE: See
hydraulic section for more detail.
The bucket is raised to the upper limit of travel and the valve released. The dump valve is then engaged,
and the bucket dumps the material into the mixer. The procedure is then reversed for lowering the bucket
to ground level.
Always raise the arms to their upright position before tilting the bucket. When lowering the buckets
return the bucket to the upright position before beginning the decent of the arms.
