Using a Bucket
Always maintain a safe distance from electric
power lines and avoid contact with any electrically charged
conductor or gas line. Accidental contact or rupture can result in
electrocution or an explosion. Contact the “Digger’s Hotline” or
proper local authorities for utility line locations before starting to
dig.
Driving over Rough Terrain
When traveling over rough terrain, drive slowly with the bucket lowered.
Driving on an Incline
When traveling on an incline, the loader must travel with the heavy end
pointing uphill.
Digging with a Bucket
Approach the digging site with the lift arm slightly
raised and the bucket tilted forward until the edge
contacts the ground. Dig into the ground by
driving forward and gradually lowering the lift
arm.
With the bucket filled, tilt the bucket back, back
the loader away from the material and rest the lift
arm against the loader frame before proceeding to
the dumping area.
Always carry the loaded bucket with the lift arm
resting on the loader frame. For additional stability when operating
on inclines, always travel with the heavier end of the loader toward
the top of the incline.
