ION

OPERATING WITH FLOAT CONTROL

During hard surface operation, keep bucket level
and put lift control in float position to permit bucket
to float on working surface. If hydraulic down
pressure is exerted on bucket, it will wear faster
than normal.

Float will also prevent mixing of surface material
with stockpile material. Float position will reduce the
chance of surface gouging when removing snow or
other material.
