SAFE AND EFFICIENT USE OF BUCKETS
When lifting soil from a heap or pile, always have the bucket level. To
achieve this, push the loader arm downwards and use the tilt ram to
bring the bucket level with the ground.
Towards the end of the run when the bucket is nearly full, gently tilt the
bucket (rotate the bucket) towards the loader. This decreases the
lifting resistance when the arms are raised and promotes an efficient
tear out.
When transporting material in the bucket on slopes or rough ground
always keep the bucket close to ground level. This lowers the centre
of gravity of the loader and maximises stability.
When scraping, levelling and surface stripping lower the bucket to the
ground, tilt it down and so raise the front wheels slightly off the ground.
Drive forward using the back wheels, the bucket will bite into the soil
as you move forward.
The material may then be dumped into a trailer or utility truck for
removal or repositioning on the site.
CAUTION : Do not step off the operator platform with the load raised or the machine
moving.
