Loading
OPERATING PROCEDURES
Move the machine, stop close to the truck, and then raise the bucket until its lower edge is
well above the truck bed. Slowly move the machine forward and stop at the position where the
bucket is to dump. Tilt the bucket forward to release the material in the bucket into the truck
bed. When the truck bed is filled to half capacity, use the bucket to spread the load evenly.
Leveling Operation using the Float position
WARNING
• Make sure the bucket is lowered to the ground before floating the lift arms. Floating
the lift arms while they are raised will cause the bucket to fall rapidly and is
dangerous.
• Do not travel forward with the lift arms in the float position.
