Loading a Bucket
Approach the pile with the lift arm fully lowered
and the bucket tilted slightly forward until the edge
contacts the ground. Drive forward, lifting the lift
arm and tilting back the bucket to fill it. Back away
from the pile.
Dumping the Load Onto a Pile
Carry a loaded bucket as low as possible until the pile is reached. Gradually
stop forward motion and raise the lift arm high enough so that the bucket
clears the top of the pile. Then, slowly move the loader ahead to position the
bucket to dump the material on top of the pile. Dump the material and then
back the loader away while tilting the bucket back and lowering the lift arm.
WARNING
with the bucket or attachment loaded or raised, because this will
cause the lift arm to lower rapidly.
Dumping the Load Into a Box
Carry the loaded bucket low and approach the
vehicle or bin. Stop your approach as close to
the side of the box as possible while allowing
for clearance to raise the lift arm and loaded
bucket. Next, raise the lift arm until the bucket
clears the top of the box and move the loader
ahead to position the bucket over the inside of
the box. Dump the material and then back
away from the box while tilting the bucket
back and lowering the lift arm.
Dumping the Load Over an Embankment
WARNING
Be sure the surrounding ground has adequate strength to support
the weight of the loader and the load.
Carry the loaded bucket as low as possible while traveling to the dumping
area. Stop the loader where the bucket extends half-way over the edge of the
embankment. Tilt the bucket forward and raise the lift arm to dump the
material. Dump the material and then back away from the embankment while
tilting the bucket back and lowering the lift arm.
