To reduce the loader turning and the travel, position the unit for hauling at an angle to the material that is being loaded. The travel distance should be long enough so that the bucket can reach the lift height without slowing the movement of the loader.

Position the loader in order to dump the load in the center of the hauler body. If the hauler body is double the length of the bucket, dump from the front to the rear.

If you are loading large rock, place a bucket load of smaller rock in the hauling unit first. This cushions the bed of the hauling unit from the impact of larger material.

For controlled dumping, engage the tilt control lever for a short period. Then return the tilt control lever to the HOLD position. Repeat this procedure until the bucket is empty.
Shake the bucket in order to loosen sticky material. In quick motions, move the tilt lever back and forth. Allow the tilt arms to strike the stops.Note: Avoid unnecessary, repetitive shaking of the bucket by striking the tilt arms on the stops. This results in accelerated wear and high maintenance cost for the loader linkage.
When possible, keep the wind at your back when you are dumping. This helps to protect your eyes from the dust.

When you move the loader into position for another load, tilt the bucket backward and lower the bucket to the loading position .
