Loading a Bucket
1. (Figure 71) Lower the bucket
to the ground.
2. Tilt the bucket slightly
forward so the bucket cutting
edge is pointing slightly
down into the ground.
3. Drive forward until the
bucket is filled with material.
Adjust the bucket tilt as
needed to remove an even
layer of ground and to reduce
tire slip.
4. Tilt the bucket back and raise
it to scoop up material.
5. Reduce engine speed and
back out of the material.
6. Set the bucket to transport
position. See “Attachment
Transport Position” on page 94.
Dumping a Load onto a Pile
1. (Figure 72) Approach the pile
with the bucket as low as
possible.
2. Gradually stop forward
motion and raise the lift arm
high enough so that the
bucket clears the top of the
pile.
3. Slowly move forward,
position the bucket over the
pile and dump the material.
4. Back away from the pile
while tilting the bucket back
and lowering the lift arm.
