OPERATION

OPERATIONS POSSIBLE WITH THIS MACHINE

IMPORTANT: Do not fully extend the bucket cylinders, push the bucket into the ground

and move the machine to use the traveling force for digging. Doing so could damage

the bucket cylinders.

Scooping

OPERATING PROCEDURES

Lower the bucket to the ground and set it parallel to the ground or tilt it slightly downward.

Move the machine forward, push the bucket well into the material and scoop it by rolling back

the bucket.

Digging

Tilt the bucket forward at an angle appropriate for the ground hardness. Slowly travel forward,

dig into the ground with the cutting edge of the bucket. When the bucket is full, tilt it

backward.
