Grading; Leveling - Terex PT60CE Operation And Maintenance Manual

5 OPERATION

5.6 Grading

Steps: (see illustration)
1. Lower the lift arms until they rest on the frame.
2. Tilt the bucket slowly forward until the cutting edge engages the ground.
3. Drive the machine forward making slight bucket angle adjust ments to vary
cut depth as necessary.
4. When full, curl the bucket and raise the lift arms simultaneously. Once clear,
lower them to approximately 25-30 cm above the ground for transporting.
Do not push or pull dirt as done in digging, grading, or leveling operations with
the bucket tilted fully forward into the "Dump" position. This will stress the buck-
et cylinders and may damage them.

5.7 Leveling

Steps: (see illustration)
1. Moving forward, raise the lift arms as you tilt the bucket slowly forward to
evenly spread the material out over the ground.
2. Once the load is released, tilt the bucket forward to an angle 45° or less to
the ground.
3. Lower the lift arms until the cutting edge rests on the ground.
4. Engage the float function and back the machine over the material varying
bucket angle slightly as necessary to maintain grade.
