    ATTACHMENTS, OPTIONS HANDLING PAYLOAD METER II (CARD TYPE) METHOD OF USING ACCURATELY 1. Recorded payload data When the dump lever is operated from FLOAT to any position other than the FLOAT, the payload is recorded. The reason for this is the following two points. To measure the payload that has actually been carried The payload can be measured more accurately by measuring the load that is actually dumped after subtracting the loss caused by spillage of the load during travel.
