and slippery. Clear away all large and sharp stones on the working place, so as to
prevent the tires from being scratched.
If using the loader to load materials onto or unload materials from a truck or hopper,
adjust the limit height of the caging device of the lift arm on the basis of the height of
the truck or hopper, so as to ensure that the bucket may safely enter into and exit from
the truck or hopper and to avoid the impact on truck or hopper imposed by materials
discharged from an excessively high position.
4.4.2 GENERAL TECHNIQUES
Common shovel-loading method
The common shovel-loading method is suitable for the loading of bulk materials.
Make the loader approach the materials at the speed under forward gear 2, align the
middle portion of the bucket with the material pile, hold the steering wheel with your left
hand, and operate the pilot joystick with your right hand so as to lower the lift arm to the
position which is 500mm above the ground.
When the loader is about one meter away from the material pile, lower the lift arm
again and make the bucket contact with the ground, and then change the forward gear 2
to forward gear 1.
NOTE: When making the bucket contact with the ground, be sure not to make the
bucket apply a too large force onto the ground, otherwise the unnecessary
travelling resistance may occur. In addition, the front/rear frames of the loader shall
be placed straightly, and there must be no included angle between front and rear
frames.
Push down the accelerator pedal so as to insert the bucket into the material pile with
full force; when the loader cannot move forward any more, push leftwards the pilot joystick
so as to turn the bucket backwards, and then pull the control handle to the middle position.
In this way, the loader may go ahead into the material pile. Repeat the operation
mentioned above until the bucket is filled with the material.
Combined shovel-loading method
The combined shovel-loading method is suitable for loading relatively hard or sticky
materials. Before the bucket is inserted into the materials, all operations are the same as
those of common shovel-loading method. When the bucket cannot move forwards any
more after being inserted into the material pile, just pull backwards the joystick with your
right hand and then push it to the middle position, so as to lift up the bucket for once. In
this way, the bucket may go ahead for certain distance. Thereafter, push forwards the pilot
joystick and then push it to the middle position, so as to turn backwards the bucket for
once. In this way, the bucket may get further inserted into the material pile. Repeat the
operation “insertion, lifting, inserting and turning” until the bucket is filled with materials.
