12.10 WORK POSSIBLE USING WHEEL LOADER
In addition to the following, it is possible to further increase the
range of applications by using various attachments.
12.10.1
DIGGING OPERATIONS
Always set the machine facing directly to the front when
carrying out digging or scooping operations. Never carry out
these operations with the machine articulated.
NOTICE
If the tires slip, the tire life will be reduced, so do not allow the
tires to slip during operation.
‡
When loading piled soil or blasted rock, drive the machine
forward as follows to load. To prevent cutting of the tires caused
by the tires slipping, be careful of the following points during the
operation.
fi
Always keep the operating jobsite flat, and remove any fallen
rocks.
fi
When working with stockpiles, operate the machine in 1st or
2nd; when loading blasted rock operate the machine in 1st.
1. When driving the machine forward and lowering the bucket, stop
the bucket about 30 cm (12 in) from the ground, then lower it
slowly.
REMARK
If the bucket hits the ground, the front tires will come off the
ground, and the tires will slip.
2. Shift down immediately in front of the material to be loaded.
When completing the shift down, depress the accelerator pedal
at the same time and thrust the bucket into the load.
3. When the material is in a stockpile, keep the cutting edge of the
bucket horizontal; when loading blasted rock, have the bucket
tilting slightly down.
Be careful not to get blasted rock under the bucket. This will
make the front tires come off the ground and slip.
Try to keep the load in the center of the bucket; if the load is on
one side of the bucket, the load will be unbalanced.
