50-10 Operating the Machine S725TX Mini Skid Steer
Emptying the Bucket
Step 1: Move machine with bucket in carry position until dump site is reached.
Step 2: Raise lift arms just enough to clear side of truck box or bin, while tilting bucket to keep load from
spilling. Always load on firm and level ground.
Step 3: Move machine forward slowly until the bucket is over the truck box or bin. If possible, avoid steering
while load is raised. Steering results in side motion of the load, which could make the machine
unstable. If steering is necessary, move very slowly using smooth steering motion.
Step 4: Tilt bucket forward until it empties. If necessary, use bucket to redistribute materials in the truck box
or bin.
Step 5: After dumping load, back away just far enough from truck or container to lower the bucket. Lower
bucket before steering. Moving the machine with the bucket raised reduces stability.
Backdragging with the Bucket
Step 1: Push Lift / Tilt Joystick fully forward into FLOAT position.
Step 2: Tilt bucket down. The farther the bucket is tilted down, the more cutting edge force is applied to move
loose material.
Step 3: Move machine in reverse to level loose material.
Step 4: Before moving forward, raise loader arms or tilt bucket back to lift the bucket cutting edge off the
ground.
