Illustration 6 g03749995Procedure:
First Pass:
Load the bucket with 10 tons.
Scale the weight.
Fully dump the bucket into the first truck bed.The first bed needs 2 tons more.
Second Pass:
Load the bucket with 10 tons.

Slowly start dumping into the first truck bed.
Ensure that the system is in truck tip-off mode. If in stockpile tip-off mode, press the toggle button once while the bucket has partially dumped.
Tip 2 tons into the first bed.
Rack the bucket back.The first bed is complete with 12 tons.
Move to the second bed.
Fully dump the remainder (8 tons) of the bucket into the second truck bed.The second bed needs 7 tons more.
Third Pass:
Load the bucket with 10 tons.
Obtain a low lift weigh estimated weight.The system automatically switches back to stockpile tip-off mode.
Use stockpile tip-off to get 7 tons in the bucket.
Scale the weight.
Fully dump the bucket into the second truck bed.The second bed is complete with 15 tons.Tip-Off Toggle Technique for Loading a Truck with Tarp Braces
When loading a truck with one or multiple tarp braces, the operator is required to dump partial passes into one trailer to spread the load throughout the truck. In this scenario, the tip-off toggle button can be used to disperse the load, accordingly. The following scenarios explain how to use tip-off toggle in different situations assuming a 9 ton loader.Note: Many variants of this system can be used to successfully load a truck with multiple dumps to position the material evenly. For example, the operator could choose to set the Tip Off Default mode either to Truck or to Stockpile. The operator could also choose to disable the tip-off mode altogether, which may be the easiest.
Scenario 1: When Default Tip-Off Mode Is Set to "Stockpile Tip-Off"This default setting is set by the operator by going to the main menu and going to: Machine/Settings/Payload/Tip-Off Mode ⇒ "Stockpile Tip-Off". Confirmation of this setting will be a white box outlining the Material ID Selection button on the Payload Menu.This scenario is an example of a 972M with 9 tons in the bucket trying to load 24 tons into a truck.
First Pass:
Load the bucket with 9 tons.
Scale the weight.
Fully dump the bucket
