  • Page 57: Driving The Tractor And Loader

    6. Driving the Tractor and Loader This Implement may be wider than the Tractor. Be careful when operating or transporting this equipment to prevent the Implement from running into or striking sign posts, guard rails, concrete abutments or other solid objects. Such an impact could cause the Implement and Tractor to pivot violently resulting in loss of steering control, serious injury, or even death.

  • Page 58: Driving The Tractor And Loader

    Use extra care when turning or stopping. Allow for increased length and weight of added loader. The loader adds five to six feet of length in front of the tractor and significant weight. Allow extra distance when stopping or turning. Do not allow loader or attachment to contact solid objects.
  • Page 59 Do not raise the loader on a hillside. Do not transport across a slope with a raised loader. When the loader is raised, the center of gravity of the tractor and loader is raised increasing the potential for the tractor to tip over.
  • Page 60 Use extra care when turning or stopping. Allow for increased length and weight of added loader. The loader adds five to six feet of length in front of the tractor and significant weight. Allow extra distance when stopping or turning. Do not allow loader or attachment to contact solid objects.
  • Page 61 Do not use loader as a jack to raise the tractor tires off the ground. The loader could fail causing the tractor and loader to fall to the ground resulting in serious injury. Use extreme care when loading, transporting or dumping loads that impair or partially block the operator’s line of sight.
  • Page 62 If the loader valve controls fail to functions properly discontinue use of the tractor and loader until the controls are properly repaired. Sudden or unexpected movement or dropping of the loader and attachment could result in serious injury. Make sure all air is purged from the hydraulic system before using the loader. Air in the system can cause the loader to respond sluggishly or with unexpected movement.

  • Page 63: Operating The Loader

    OPERATION 7.1 Operating the Loader The following text and illustrations offer suggested loader and tractor operating techniques. FILLING THE BUCKET Approach and enter the pile with a level bucket. Loaders with 1-lever control, ease lever back toward you to lift and roll back bucket. With series valve, prevent loader stall by not lifting and rolling back at the same time.

  • Page 64: Lifting The Load

    OPERATION Lift and roll back of bucket will increase efficiency because... A level bucket throughout the lifting cycle resists bucket lift and increases breakaway effort. NOTE: Do not be concerned if the bucket is not completely filled during each pass. Maximum productivity is determined by the amount of material loaded in a given period of time.

  • Page 65: Carrying The Load

    OPERATION CARRYING THE LOAD Position bucket just below tractor hood for maximum stability and visibility, whether bucket is loaded or empty. Use extreme care when operating loader on a slope, keep bucket as low as possible. This keeps center of gravity low and will provide maximum stability.

  • Page 66: Dumping The Bucket

    OPERATION DUMPING THE BUCKET Lift bucket high enough to clear side of vehicle. Move tractor in as close as possible to side of vehicle, then dump bucket. LOWERING THE BUCKET After bucket is dumped, back away from vehicle while lowering and rolling back bucket. 2647 01/11 Operation Section 4-26 ©...

  • Page 67: Operating With Float Control

    OPERATION OPERATING WITH FLOAT CONTROL During hard surface operation, keep bucket level and put lift control in float position to permit bucket to float on working surface. If hydraulic down pressure is exerted on bucket, it will wear faster than normal. Float will also prevent mixing of surface material with stockpile material.
  • Page 68 OPERATION Side cutting is a good technique for cutting down a big pile. If the pile sides are too high and liable to cause cave-in, use loader to break down the sides until a slot can be cut over the top. Another method for large dirt piles is to build a ramp approach to the pile.

  • Page 69: Peeling And Scraping

    OPERATION It is important to keep the bucket level when approaching a bank or pile. This will help prevent gouging the work area. PEELING AND SCRAPING Use a slight bucket angle, travel forward and hold lift control forward to start the cut. Make a short 5 to 8 foot angle cut and break out cleanly.

  • Page 70: Loading Low Trucks Or Spreaders From A Pile

    OPERATION Make additional passes until desired depth is reached. During each pass, use only bucket control while working depth. This will allow you to concentrate on controlling bucket angle to maintain a precise cut. LOADING LOW TRUCKS OR SPREADERS FROM A PILE For faster loading, minimize angle of turn and length of run between pile and spreader.
  • Page 71 OPERATION BACKFILLING Approach pile with a level bucket. Poor methods actually move no more dirt and make it more difficult to hold a level grade. Do not use bucket in dumped position for bulldozing. This method, shown above, will impose severe shock loadings on dump linkage, bucket cylinder and tractor.
  • Page 72 OPERATION Leave dirt in bucket. Dumping on each pass wastes time. Operate tractor at right angles to ditch. Take as big a bite as tractor can handle without lugging down. 2647 01/11 Operation Section 4-32 © 2011 Alamo Group Inc.

  • Page 73: Handling Large Heavy Objects

    Leave dirt which drifts over side of bucket for final cleanup. Pile dirt on high side for easier backfilling on a slope. HANDLING LARGE HEAVY OBJECTS 1. Using front end loaders for handling large heavy objects such as large round or rectangular bales, logs and oil drums is not recommended.

  • Page 74: Loader Storage

    8. Loader Storage Never allow children to play on or around Tractor or Implement. Children can slip or fall off the Equipment and be injured or killed. Inadvertent contact with controls can cause the Implement to shift or fall crushing themselves or others. Properly preparing and storing the loader at the end of the season is critical to maintaining its appearance and to help ensure years of dependable service.
  • Page 75 Transport only at speeds where you can maintain control of the equipment. Serious accidents and injuries can result from operating this equipment at high speeds. Understand the Tractor and Implement and how it handles before transporting on streets and highways. Make sure the Tractor steering and brakes are in good condition and operate properly.

  • Page 76: Transporting On Public Roadways

    Before transporting the tractor and loader, idle the tractor engine. When transporting, carry the loader as low as possible maintaining adequate ground clearance and visibility. Reduce tractor ground speed when transporting a load. Take extra care when traveling over rough terrain or on slopes.
