Transporting a Loaded Bucket
Transport material with the bucket as low as possible to prevent
spilling and keep maximum stability. The loader must be in a posi-
tion that will not block the operators’ vision. a loaded bucket must
not be transported in the upright position or at excessive speed.
Observe the following safety warning when transporting a loaded
bucket.
WARNING
Contact with overhead power lines can cause severe
electrical burns or death from electrocution. make sure
there is clearance between raised equipment and over
head power lines.
A loaded Bucket should be transported in a low position
at low ground speeds. Make turns slowly and use the
tractor brakes cautiously. A full bucket in the raised posi-
tion alters the center of gravity location of the machine
and increases the possibility of accidents.
CAUTION
When using a loader, be aware of bucket location at all
times. When raising a loader with bucket rolled back, ma-
terial can dump onto tractor causing damage to tractor
or injury to operator.
Stop the loader arms gradually when lowering or lifting.
Do not stand, walk or work under a raised loader unless
it is securely blocked or held in position. Accidental
movement of a control lever or leak in th hydraulic sys-
tem could cause the loader to drop, or attachment to
dump, resulting in serious injury or death.
Scraping
When scraping, the Boom lever must be used to keep the bucket
on the ground horizontally. The bucket must be kept level to the
ground during scraping operations.
Backfilling/Backgrading
When “Backfilling” or “Backgrading”, position the bucket so it is
level on the ground. Do not dump material from bucket following
each pass, as additional weight of material in bucket will assist in
“Backgrading” and increases loader efficiency during “Backfilling”.
Controlled Rate of Loader Functions
By “feathering” the control lever, reduced operational speeds can
be controlled. This action controls the position of the valve spool in
the valve body and regulates flow of oil to/from cylinders. It is im-
portant utilize this operational practice when lowering loader boom
when the bucket is loaded with material.
