OPERATING TECHNIQUES
Dumping
Be certain that the bucket used is appropriate
for the work performed. Exceeding the machine
limits will reduce the service life of the machine.
Dozing
CAUTION
Do not bulldoze with the bucket in the dump
psition.
When bulldozing, keep the bucket bottom
parallel to the ground.
Use the bucket stops for maximum
dumping angle.
CAUTION
Striking the stops unnecessarily and repetiti-
vely can result in accelerated wear and high
maintenance cost of the loader linkage.
Loading from a Stockpile
1. Position the bucket parallel to, and
just skimming, the ground. Drive the bucket
straight into the pile.
