5.3 Notes on how to work with the
machine
5.3.1 Loading
During transport, the bucket - either filled or empty -
must be kept as close to the ground as possible.
If possible, avoid long transport distances!
Attention
• For loading, lower the bucket and position
the cutting edge parallel to the ground. Re-
duce driving speed by inching as required.
• Move the bucket into the material to be
loaded.
• As soon as the bucket is filling, slightly
raise the lift frame and tilt back the bucket.
• For dumping, raise the bucket until it is
above the point of dumping and dump the
material.
5.3.2 Scraping and grading
• Lower the lift frame and move the cutting edge into
the ground keeping a flat angle of inclination. Do
not penetrate too deeply to ensure smooth remov-
al of earth.
• During this operation, the depth is only to be lev-
eled by moving the bucket in and out.
5.3.3 Excavating
• To dig out an excavation, strip layers which are as
regular as possible.
• Plan the excavating work in such a way as to en-
able the wheel loader to drive forward with full
bucket out of the excavation.
• Keep the outward run of the excavation as flat as
possible.
