FILLING AND EMPTYING OF THE SHOVEL
FILLING
To fill the shovel follow the warnings below:
1 - Lower the lifting ams completely.
2 - Turn the shovel until it touches the ground slightly with the point slightly inclined forwards
3 - Advance slowly penetrating the stock pile and at the same time turn the shovel backwards until it
is completely filled.
4 - Raise the lifting arms to just above the stock pile.
5 - Pull back, lower the lifting arms and move, with the shovel low, towards the place of unloading.
EMPTYING
During transfer to the unloading area the shovel must be positioned as low as possible and in
maximum collection position.
Transfer must be carried out at a moderate speed.
Move as near as possible to the vehicle to be loaded keeping in mind that the shovel’s trajectory
lengthens during lifting.
During the arm lifting phase, incline the shovel slightly forward and try to hold it as horizontal as
possible to prevent loss of the load
(machine without lifting control valve, self-levelling).
With the shovel in high position, move near to the vehicle to be loaded and turn the shovel forwards
to carry out complete unloading. If the shovel should not empty completely, open and close the
shovel alternately to help the material to escape.
