5.4 Notes on how to work with the machine
5.4.1 Loading
During transport, the bucket - either filled or empty
- must be kept as close to the ground as possible.
If possible, avoid long transport distances!
For loading, lower the bucket and
position the cutting edge parallel to the
ground. Reduce driving speed by inching
as required.
Move the bucket into the material to be
loaded.
As soon as the bucket is filling, slightly
raise the lift frame and tilt back the
bucket.
For dumping, raise the bucket until it is
above the point of dumping and dump
the material.
5.4.2 Scraping and grading
•
Lower the lift frame and move the cutting edge
into the ground keeping a flat angle of
inclination. Do not penetrate too deeply to
ensure smooth removal of earth.
•
During this operation, the depth is only to be
leveled by moving the bucket in and out.
5.4.3 Excavating
•
To dig out an excavation, strip layers which are
as regular as possible.
•
Plan the excavating work in such a way as to
enable the wheel loader to drive forward with
full bucket out of the excavation.
•
Keep the outward run of the excavation as flat
as possible.
