V-shape loading
Position the dump lorry so that the machine's direction of
approach to the stockpile is at an angle of about 60° with the
direction of approach to the dump lorry. Load the bucket and
shake it. This distributes the load in the bucket properly and pre-
vents it from falling out to the rear. Back the machine up from the
stockpile and direct the machine towards the dump lorry. Raise
the bucket to its maximum height. Drive forward towards the
dump lorry and unload the material.
The smaller the turning angle of the machine, the more efficiently
you are working.
Stockpiling
When stockpiling material, do not set the bucket to the maximum
dump or tilt position but rather to the required levelling angle. The
rear counterweight should not touch the ground.
Working with the forklift attachment
Working with a forklift attachment on a wheel loader is different
both from working with a bucket and working with a forklift. There-
fore, observe the following points as well as the instructions in
chapter “General precautions (2-9)”.
 Do not pick up loads that are so high as to block the operator's
view of the route.
 Hold the tines of the forklift attachment horizontally when
picking up a load.
 While driving, carry the load as close to the ground as possi-
ble in order to have a good view of the route.
 Always drive slowly with loads (speed range 1).
 The boom executes a semicircular movement during the lift-
ing process. Raise the boom to the desired unloading height
shortly before reaching the location of unloading. This pre-
vents the load from becoming damaged while lifting.
 Keep the forklift attachment horizontal when stacking, if pos-
sible.
