Lower the lift arms all the way (Item 1) [Figure 161]. Tilt
the bucket forward (Item 2) [Figure 161] until the cutting
edge of the bucket is on the ground.
Drive forward slowly and continue to tilt the bucket down
(Item 2) [Figure 161] until it enters the ground.
Tilt the bucket backward a small amount (Item 3)
[Figure 161] to increase traction and keep an even

is full. When the ground is hard, raise and lower the
cutting edge (Items 2 and 3) [Figure 161] while driving
forward.
