WARNING:
 When boom is raised, machine stability is reduced
and could cause machine to tip over causing serious
injury or death.
 Do not make quick turns or abrupt braking when
boom is raised.
 Keep boom low for best stability especially on
slopes.
1. Move the lift arm control lever to the "Raise" position to
raise the loaded bucket while approaching the truck or
the hopper.
2. Use the declutch switch in the "ON" position if working
on a level site.
When the left brake pedal (declutch pedal) is step on,
the transmission is placed automatically in neutral and
the lift arm rises faster.
3. Return the lift arm control lever to the "Hold" position
when the bucket reaches the enough height to clear the
truck or hopper sideboards.
If the lift arm is equipped with the kickout device, the
lift arm will automatically stop and the lift arm control
lever will return to the "Hold" position when the bucket
reaches the preset height.
Holding the lift arm control lever in the "Raise" position
will continue to raise the lift arm if required.
4. Position the machine in the center of the truck body or
hopper to dump the load.
5. Push the bucket control lever forward to the "Dump"
position to empty the bucket.
6. Roll back the bucket to clear the truck or hopper
sideboards and lower the lift arm while reversing the
machine.
