Steering System:
Articulated frame steering system turns short,
has long wheel base for loading stability.
Hinge point is mid-way
between front and rear axles, so rear wheels track the front.
Tires:
All tires are traction type (L-2), nylon, tubeless,
20.5 x 25., and are rated at 12 ply.
Tires are inflated to 50
psi (345 kpa).
Sufficient clearance is provided to mount the L-2
type tires without removal of any components.
Electrical System:
The loader has a 24 volt electrical starting
and lighting system with necessary fuses and circuit breakers.
All control switches are located on the dash within reach of the

Instruments:
The loader is equipped with waterproof gauges and
switches.
The gauges are illuminated by rear lighting and
identified on the instrument panel.
The following instruments
are on the panel:
1.
Air pressure gauge - light (EMS system)
2.
Service meter gauge
3.
Engine oil pressure gauge - light (EMS system)
4.
Water temperature gauge - light (EMS system)
5.
Ammeter gauge - light (EMS system)
6.
Torque converter oil temperature gauge - light (EMS system)
Battery:
Two (2) 12 volt batteries are installed in series to
provide 24 volts for the starting system.
Batteries are located
in the rear bumper on each side of the machine.
Service checks
can be performed easily and quickly from ground level.

Operation Concept.
The 2 1/2 cubic yard Scoop Loader is to
be used by engineer construction units equipped with Commercial
Construction Equipment (CCE).
This Scoop Loader will be used to
excavate and load consolidated earth, blast rockr loose or
decomposed rock, sand, aggregate and loose soil from stock piles
into dump trucks, concrete mobile mixers, hoppers and aggregate
