Digging
Figure 161
Lower the lift arms all the way (Item 1). Put the cutting
edge of the bucket on the ground (Item 2) [Figure 161].
Drive forward slowly and continue to tilt the bucket down
(Item 2) [Figure 161] until the bucket enters the ground.
Tilt the bucket backward 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 161] while driving forward.

the bucket is past the edge of the hole.
If necessary, raise the lift arms to empty the bucket.
