Loading; Fastening Attachments - Terex PT30 Operation And Maintenance Manual

5.8 Loading

Steps: (see illustration)
1. Raise the lift arms upward, carefully maintaining the bucket angle, until the
bottom of the bucket clears the side of the truck bed or trailer.
2. Once clear, drive the machine forward until the pivot point of the bucket
clears the bed side.
3. Tilt the bucket forward until all of the material has been released into the
bed.
Note: It may be necessary to quickly tilt and curl the bucket while releasing
material into the truck bed to evenly distribute the material within the bed.

5.9 Fastening Attachments

1. Make sure the locking levers on the quick attach mechanism are in their
respective unlocked positions. (fig. 5.10-1)
2. Drive the machine to the attachment and hook the top edge of the quick
attach under the upper lip of the attachment.
3. Curl the quick attach slowly upward by moving the lift arm control joystick
to the left until the attachment is properly mated with the quick attach
mechanism. (Curl enough to lift the attachment off of the ground.)
4. Once the attachment is properly mated, move the two locking levers inward
and downward to lock the attachment in place.
Note: When fastening an attachment, always visually verify that the attachment is
locked in place prior to operation. (fig. 5.10-2 & 5.10-3)
