3. Direct the bucket horizontally, set the lift arms in the
“FLOATING”
position using the control lever, and
level the ground while backing the machine.

(A) Move backward
(1) Control lever
4. Loading method onto a truck
Examine the job site situation and choose the efficient
loading method that minimizes the swivel angle and
moving distance.

4.1 Loading onto a truck by cross loading
method
Cross-loading method is the fastest and leads to the
shortest cycle time.
1. Position a truck perpendicular (90 degrees) to the
shoveling direction of the machine.
2. After digging and shoveling with the bucket, move
the machine backward.
3. Then drive the truck to a point between the machine
and the piled sand.
4. Then, load the sand onto the truck.
(1) Piled sand
(2) Truck
(A) Shoveling direction
(B) Perpendicular to shoveling
direction
4.2 Loading onto a truck by V-shift loading
method
1. Position a truck at an angle of about 60 degrees
from the shoveling direction of the machine.
2. After digging and shoveling with the bucket, move
the machine backward and turn the steering wheel
to position the machine perpendicular (90 degrees)
to the truck.
3. Then move the machine forward to load sand onto
the truck.
A smaller angle between the machine and truck will
provide a shorter cycle time and more efficient
operation.
(1) Piled sand
(2) Truck
(A) Shoveling direction
(B) Perpendicular to truck
