INS TRUCTIONS 

Hydraulic power transmission is instantaneous. When 

using the drive levers, sudden  movement will result 

in acceleration to full speed and very jerky ride. Ease 
the levers either forward or reverse.

JULY 1998 

tt the bucket is pivoted down while the arms are down, 
the front of the Mini-Skid will lift off the ground. This 
is a standard operation when scraping and leveling. 

The standing platform will prevent the Mini-Skid from 

overturning backwards. 

1.  When attacking the heap or pile, always have the 

b.ucket level. To achieve this, lower the Mini-Skid 

arm and activate bucket tilt cylinder to bring the 

bucket level with the ground. 

2.  Towards  the end of  the run  when  the bucket is

nearly full, gently roll the bucket backwards. This 

decreases  the lifting resistance when the  arms 

are raised and promotes an efficient tear out. 

3.  When transporting material in the bucket on hill­

sides or rough ground, keep the bucket close to 

ground  level.  This  lowers the centre of gravity of 

the Mini-Skid and maximizes stability. 

4.  When  scraping,  leveling and  surface  stripping, 

lower the bucket to ground level, tilt tt down and 

so raise the front wheels slightly off the ground. 

Drive forward using the back wheels, the bucket 

will bite into the soil as you move forward. 

5.  The material may then be dumped into a trailer 

or utility truck for removal or repositioning on the 

stte.  Do not step  off the operator  platform  wtth 

the load raised. 

Manoeuvering is made possible by individual con­

trols for the hydraulic motor on each side of the Mini­

Skid. A turn may be achieved by varying the amount 

and/or direction of power supplied to each side of 

the machine. The machine is capable of turning in tts 

own length by applying equal forward and reverse 

power to opposite sides of the machine.

3.  Keep hands, feet and clothing away from all 

moving parts and rams. 

4. 

Do not  allow  more than one  person on  the 
Mini-Skid at any time. 

5. 

Do not smoke while fuelling or operating the 

Mini-Skid. 

6.  Do not operate any of the control  levers in-

eluding  auxiliary  power  take-off  unless  you 

are  standing with  both feet on the  platform 

and firmly holding the grip handles. 

7. 

Do not place feet under the platform. 

8. 

Do not ride in the bucket. 

9.  Do not allow any other person or animal close 

to the Mini-Skid while in operation. 

1 a.  Ensure adequate ventilation when using the 

machine in confined spaces. 

11.  Do  not  drive  the  Mini-Skid  across  steep 

slopes. 

12.  Always place bucket on ground when park­

ing or leaving the Mini-Skid unattended. 

13.  Do not carry load  with the arms in a raised 

position.  Always  carry  loads  close  to  the 

ground.  Do not step  off  platform  with  load 

raised. 

14.  Caution• Never jerk the control levers, use a 

steady even motion.
