Digging
WARNING
Loss of control hazard!
Travel speed should be such that complete control and machine stability is maintained at all times.
Where possible, avoid operating near ditches, embankments and holes. Reduce speed when turning,
crossing slopes, and on rough, slick, or muddy surfaces.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
W0233A
WARNING
Tip-over hazard!
Raising an overloaded bucket could cause an accident. If this situation should occur, and the machine
should start to tip forward, IMMEDIATELY lower the lift arms.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
W0255A
WARNING
Loss of control hazard!
A full bucket in the raised position may cause the machine to slide when operating over rough ground.
Keep the bucket as low as possible during operation for better stability and visibility. Always operate
the machine at slow speeds over rough ground.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
W0271A
WARNING
Collision hazard!
Always make sure the area behind the machine is clear of all persons, animals, and obstructions BE-
FORE backing up.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
W0232A
When digging with the skid steer, remove a thin layer with each pass. This method is efficient and minimizes wheel
slippage. When encountering firmly packed materials, flutter the bucket control valve to assist penetration.
NOTE:
If the engine pulls down as the skid steer is engaging a load, the directional controls are being held to far in
the direction of travel. Maximum torque is obtained at minimum ground speed in low range for all skid steers.
Transporting the load
When backing out and transporting a load, carry the bucket just high enough to clear obstacles in the loaders path.
Raising the bucket higher than necessary reduces stability.
Dumping the bucket
Coordinate the forward ground speed and lift arm lift speed to attain the desired bucket height when arriving at the
dump site.
Before the forward and lifting motions are stopped, begin dumping the bucket to gradually empty the load at minimum
lift arm height. By emptying before stopping, machine stability can be maximized.
When loading into a truck, the bucket can be used to push materials to the far side of the truck if the bucket is in a
tilted down position. For greatest efficiency this should be done as the load is being dumped, before the machine's
forward motion is stopped. Try to spot the truck so that you dump over the low side and into the far side of the truck
first.
When handling adhesive materials, the bucket can be fluttered to loosen the materials which tend to stick to the back
of the bucket.
