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.
The material may then be dumped into a trailer or utility truck for removal
or repositioning on the site.
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.
CAUTION: Do not step off the operator platform with
the load raised or the machine moving.
CAUTION: Always ensure that the attachment Locking
Pins are fully engaged at all times.
