Bucket Operating Information
Typical Examples
For good operator vision and loader stability, carry the loaded bucket low, approximately 40 cm (15 in) above the ground.Utilize wait time to clean and level the work area.Maintain traction by avoiding excessive down pressure on the bucket.When working in hard material use bucket teeth, or bolt-on cutting edges.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 and Dumping
Dozing
Do not doze with the bucket in the tilt forward position or bucket damage can result.
Keep the bucket bottom parallel to the ground when dozing.Dumping
To control dumping, move the tilt control lever to the DUMP position. Then, return to the HOLD position. Repeat until the bucket is empty.To keep dust away from the engine and maintain visibility, dump with the wind to your back.Use the bucket stops for maximum dumping angle.
Striking the stops unnecessarily and repetitively can result in accelerated wear and high maintenance cost of the loader linkage.
Bucket Loading from a Stockpile
1. Position the bucket parallel to, and just skimming, the ground. Drive the bucket straight into the pile.2. Move the control to the RAISE detent position as forward movement slows. Return to the HOLD position for additional crowding power.3. To "pump" in a heaped load, work the tilt control lever back and forth.4. When the bucket is loaded, move the tilt control to the TILT BACK position.5. When the tilt control lever is released to the HOLD position, the bucket will rise.6. Raise the bucket high enough to clear the material being loaded. Move the transmission control to REVERSE.7. Carry the loaded bucket approximately 40 cm (15 in) above the ground level.8. When reaching the dump area, move the lift control to the RAISE detent. The lift kickout will automatically return the lift control to HOLD.Bucket Loading Hauling Units
1. To reduce the loader turning and travel, position the hauling unit at an angle to the material being loaded.2. The travel distance should be long enough for the bucket to reach the lift height without slowing loader movement.3. Position the loader to dump the load in the center of the hauler body. If the hauler body is two bucket widths or more in length, dump from the front to the rear.4. Push the tilt lever right to dump the bucket.5. Shake the bucket to loosen sticky material. Move the tilt lever back and forth quickly, allowing the tilt arms to strike the stops.
Striking the stops unnecessarily and repetitively can result in accelerated wear and high maintenance cost of the loader linkage.
6. Put the tilt lever in the TILT BACK detent.7. Before lowering the bucket, make sure the hauling unit is out from under the bucket.8. Lower the bucket while positioning the loader for the next load.Bucket Loading From A Bank
Personal injury or death can result from falling material.Remove any overhang and watch for sliding material.
1. Start to load at the base of the bank and follow up the face.2. Raise the
