OPERATION
V-SHAPE LOADING
Position the dump truck so that the direction of approach of the
wheel loader is approx. 60 degrees from the direction of approach
to the stockpile. After loading the bucket, drive the wheel loader in
reverse, then turn it to face the dump truck and travel forward to
load the dump truck.
The smaller the turning angle of the wheel loader is, the more
efficient the operation becomes.
When loading a full bucket and raising it to the maximum height,
first shake the bucket to stabilize the load before raising the bucket.
This will prevent the load from spilling to the rear.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN PILING UP LOADS
When forming products into a pile, be careful not to let the rear counterweight come into contact with the ground.
Do not set the bucket to the DUMP position when piling-up loads.
REMARK
When using the transmission cut-off function, lower the cut-off position so that cut-off function is actuated, when
the brake pedal is deeply depressed, while ensuring ample braking force.
