13 OPERATING THE LOADER
DUMPING THE BUCKET
Lift the bucket just high enough to clear the side of the
vehicle. Move the tractor in as close to the side of the
vehicle as possible, then dump the bucket.
LOWERING THE BUCKET
After the bucket is dumped, back away from the vehicle
while lowering and rolling back the bucket.
OPERATING WITH FLOAT CONTROL
During operation on hard surfaces, keep the bucket level
and put the lift control in the float position to permit the
bucket to float on the working surfaces.
If hydraulic down pressure is exerted on the bucket it will
wear faster than normal.
The float position will also avoid mixing of surface material
with stockpile material. The float position will reduce the
chance of surface gouging while removing snow or other
material, or when working with a blade.
