Job Layout
Set up the work cycle as short as possible. Proper spotting of the truck is
very important for efficient operation.
Spend a few minutes leveling off the work area, if necessary. Smooth
runways for the machine and a level parking areafor trucks will speed up the
job.
Keep transport distances as short as possible; less transport makes a
shorter work cycle.
