ELBOW 2W1611 - Caterpillar

Illustration 1 g00942706
Typical example
Position the bucket parallel to the ground. The bucket should barely skim the ground. Drive the bucket straight into the pile.
Illustration 2 g01005151
Move the joystick control lever to the RAISE position as forward movement slows. Return the lever to the HOLD position for additional tilt back power.
Illustration 3 g00942707
Typical example
To fill the bucket, work the joystick control lever back and forth from the TILT BACK position to the HOLD position. Continue to use RAISE as required to reduce wheel slip.
Illustration 4 g01005152
When the bucket is loaded, move the joystick control lever to the TILT BACK position.
Illustration 5 g00942662
Typical example
Raise the bucket high enough to clear the material being loaded. Tilt the bucket back until the bucket contacts the stops. Always carry the load with the bucket in the fully tilted back position to avoid material spillage and minimize loader linkage wear.
Move the transmission direction and speed control to the REVERSE position. Carry the loaded bucket approximately 400 mm (15 inch) above the ground level.
Illustration 6 g01005151
When you reach the dump area, move the joystick control lever to the RAISE position.
Illustration 7 g01005153
When at the correct height, move the joystick control lever to the DUMP position.
To control dumping, move the joystick control lever to the DUMP position. Then, return the lever to the HOLD position. Repeat this procedure until the bucket is empty.
Illustration 8 g00942712
Typical example
To achieve the maximum angle for dumping, use the stops for the bucket.
Striking the stops unnecessarily and repetitively can result in accelerated wear and high maintenance cost of the loader linkage.
