6.2.3-
Discharge
The
bucket
is
designed
to
require
only
one
operator
during
discharge.
The
throat
is
conically
shaped
for
easier
discharge
of
the
concrete.
After
positioning
the
bucket
over
forms,
pull
the
handle
down
to
open
the
gate.
The
quantity
of
concrete
discharged
depends
on
the
size
of
the
aperture.
Alternatively,
a
rope
may
be
attached
to
the
handle
and
pulled
to
discharge.
If
no
force
is
exerted
on
the
handle,
a
spring
ensures
that
the
gate
closes,
preventing
concrete
from
being
discharged.
If
the
gate
doesn’t
close
completely
due
to
residual
concrete
or
gravel,
etc.,
move
the
handle
in
the
opposite
direction
or
remove
the
obstruction.

the
Lifting
Hook
If
you
need
to

with
the
ground.
Release
the
safety
latch
on
the
hook
of
the
lifting

moving
equipment
to

the

arm.
Be
careful
to
keep
hands
and
figures
away
from
areas
which
may
be
hazardous
when
the
lifting
arm
falls.
