OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TRANSPORTING MATERIAL
Transport material to "unloading point" with
loader bucket as low as possible to prevent
spillage and maintain maximum
tractor
floader stability.
During transport the loader
should be in a position that will not impair
operators vision,
Observe the following safety messages.
.
—Avoid any overhead wires or
obstacles when loader is raised, to avoid
damage or possible death by electrocution.
—A loaded bucket should be
transported In a low position at slow ground
speeds, especially if the ground is irregular.
Make turns slowly and use the tractor brakes
cautiously. A full bucket in the raised position
alters the center of gravity of the unit and
increases the possibility of mishaps.
—
Do not lift or carry personnel
on a loader or attachment; a slip or fall could
cause serious injury.
UNLOADING
As the tractor approaches the "unloading
point", raise the loader to the height required
for clearance
to
"dump" bucket.
Drive slowly to position bucket above
"unloading point", stop tractor and dump
bucket.
NOTE: Do not raise loader higher than
required for "dumping" clearance.
As "dumping" clearance height increases, the
bucket position must be adjusted to maintain
a level bucket to prevent excessive spillage
of material from bucket.
