100 S130 Operation & Maintenance Manual
OPERATING PROCEDURE (CONT’D)
Leveling The Ground Using Float (SJC - ‘ISO’
Pattern)
Figure 142
Press and hold the float button (Item 1) while the joystick
is in neutral. While lowering the lift arms (Item 2) [Figure
142], release the float button.
Tilt the bucket forward (Item 3) [Figure 142] to change
the position of the cutting edge of the bucket.
With the bucket tilted farther forward, there is more force
on the cutting edge and more loose material can be
moved.
Drive backward to level loose material.
To disengage, press the float button again or raise the lift
arms (Item 4) [Figure 142].
Never drive forward when the hydraulic control for
lift arms is in float position.

Digging And Filling A Hole (SJC - ‘ISO’ Pattern)
Digging
Figure 143
Lower the lift arms all the way (Item 1). Put the cutting
edge of the bucket on the ground (Item 2) [Figure 143].
Drive forward slowly and continue to tilt the bucket down
(Item 2) [Figure 143] until it enters the ground.
Raise the cutting edge a small amount (Item 3) to
increase traction and keep an even digging depth.
Continue to drive forward until the bucket is full. When the
ground is hard, raise and lower the cutting edge (Items 2
and 3) [Figure 143] while driving forward.
Tilt the bucket backward (Item 3) [Figure 143] as far as it
will go when the bucket is full.
Filling
Figure 144
Lower the lift arms (Item 1) and put the cutting edge of
the bucket on the ground (Item 2) [Figure 144]. Drive
forward to the edge of the hole to push the material into
the hole.
Tilt the bucket forward (Item 2) [Figure 144] as soon as it
is past the edge of the hole.
If necessary, raise the lift arms to empty the bucket.
