5 OPERATION
5.8 Loading
Steps: (see illustration, section 5.1)
1.
Engage the bucket positioning function (if equipped), then raise the lift arms
upward until the bottom of the bucket clears the side of the truck bed or
trailer.
2. Once clear, drive the machine forward until the pivot point of the bucket
clears the bed side.
3. Tilt the bucket forward until all of the material has been released into the
bed and if necessary, quickly tilt and curl the bucket to loosen stubborn
material.
5.9 Fastening Attachments (see also section 5.11, 5.1)
1. Make sure the locking levers on the quick attach mechanism are in their
respective unlocked positions. (fig. 5.10-1)
2. With the lift arms fully lowered, drive the machine to the attachment and
hook the top edge of the quick attach under the upper lip of the attachment.
3. Curl the quick attach slowly upward by moving the lift arm control joystick
to the left until the attachment is properly mated with the quick attach
mechanism. (Curl enough to lift the attachment off of the ground.)
4. Once the attachment is properly mated, move the two locking levers inward
and downward to lock the attachment in place.
Note: When fastening an attachment, always visually verify that the attachment is
locked in place prior to operation. (fig. 5.10-2, 5.10-3)
5. To physically verify that the attachment is properly locked in place, apply
light pressure to the attachment while rotating it against the ground.
