Loading material
• Loading material on trucks is easier and more efficient if:
- The machine is positioned at the rear end of the truck.
- The loading platform of the truck is loaded by starting at the rear end.
- Work is performed with the smallest possible swivel angle.
Grading
• Use the stabilizer blade to:
- Fill in trenches.
- Grade surfaces.
• Lower the stabilizer blade to the ground for grading work.
• Set the depth of the layer you want to remove with the stabilizer-blade
lever.
➥
The machine must not be raised by lowering the stabilizer blade.
The clearance between the stabilizer blade and the ground should be
about 1 cm (0.4 in).
