DIGGING WITH A BUCKET
Push on the toe of the lift arm pedal and lower the lift arms
completely down. Push on the toe of the bucket pedal and
place the cutting edge of the bucket on the ground (Fig.
3.4D). Drive the loader forward at a slow rate and continue
to tilt the bucket down until it enters the ground.
Push down on the heel of the bucket pedal (Fig. 3.4E) to
increase traction and keep an even digging depth.
Continue to drive forward until the bucket is full. When
digging in hard ground, it is easier to raise and lower the
bucket cutting edge with the tilt pedal while slowly driving
forward. When the bucket is full, push down on the heel of
the bucket pedal (Fig. 3.4F) to raise the tip of the bucket.
For hand control units, move the L.H. control lever towards
you to lower the lift arms completely down. Move the R.H.
control lever away from you and place the cutting edge of the
bucket on the ground (Fig. 3.4D). Drive the loader forward at
a slow rate and continue to tilt the bucket down until it enters
the ground. Move the R.H. control lever towards you (Fig.
3.4E) to increase traction and keep an even digging depth.
Continue to drive forward until the bucket is full. When the
bucket is full, move the R.H. control lever towards you (Fig.
3.4F) to raise the tip of the bucket.
* Hand controls not available on all machines.
To avoid personal injury:
When starting or
operating loader in an
enclosed area make sure
there is enough
ventilation. Exhaust
