BUCKET ANGLE
INDICATOR
Upper right side of bucket includes a bracket
that indicates angle of bottom of bucket. Top of
bracket is parallel with bottom of bucket. If
bottom of bucket is not visible, top of bracket will

ADJUSTMENT OF
BUCKET POSITION
SWITCH
When bucket lever is held in crowd detent
position, after bucket has been dumped, bucket
will pivot toward crowd position. Once full crowd
position has been reached, bucket lever will
automatically return to “NEUTRAL” position. If
bucket is lowered after lever returns to
“NEUTRAL,” bucket will automatically position
itself to be in a preselected digging position
(usually flat). To adjust bucket to desired
preselected digging position, perform the
following steps.
1.
Operate controls to place bucket on
ground and in desired digging position
(usually flat). Return bucket lever to its
“NEUTRAL” position.
2.
Turn “OFF” engine.
3.
Loosen bolts (1, Figure 34) on bracket (2).
4.
Position bracket (2, Figure 34) so that end of arm (3) is aligned with center of magnetic switch (4).
5.
Tighten bolts (4, Figure 34).
6.
Start engine. Raise boom, dump bucket, then move bucket lever into crowd detent position. Now
lower boom and check to see that bucket has stopped at required position. A small readjustment of
bracket (2, Figure 34) may be necessary.
