Dumping the Load onto a Pile
Carry a loaded bucket as low as possible until the pile is reached. Gradually stop
forward motion and raise the lift arm high enough so that the bucket clears the
top of the pile. Then, slowly move the loader ahead to position the bucket to
dump the material on top of the pile. Dump the material and then back the loader
away while tilting the bucket back and lowering the lift arm.
Never push the “float” button with the bucket
or attachment raised, because this will cause
the lift arm to lower rapidly.
Dumping the Load into a Truck (or Hopper)
Carry the loaded bucket low and approach
the vehicle (or hopper.) Stop as close to
the side of the truck (or hopper) as pos-
sible while allowing for clearance to raise
the lift arm and loaded bucket. Next, raise
the lift arm until the bucket clears the top
of the truck (or hopper) and move the
loader ahead to position the bucket over
the inside of the truck (or hopper.) Dump
the material and then back away while
tilting the bucket back and lowering the
lift arm (Figure 20).
Dumping the Load over an Embankment
Do not drive too close to an excavation or
ditch. Be sure the surrounding ground has
adequate strength to support the weight of the loader and the
load.
Carry the loaded bucket as low as possible while traveling to the dumping area.
Stop the loader where the bucket extends half-way over the edge of the embank-
ment. Tilt the bucket forward and raise the lift arm to dump the material. Dump
the material, and then back away from the embankment while tilting the bucket
back and lowering the lift arm.
Scraping with a Bucket
For scraping, the loader should be oper-
ated in the forward direction. Position the
lift arm down against the loader frame.
Tilt the bucket cutting edge forward at a
slight angle to the surface being scraped.
While traveling slowly forward with the
bucket in this position, material can flow
over the cutting edge and collect inside
the bucket (Figure 21).
