Use extreme care when operating
the
loader
on
a
slope,
keep
the
bucket
as low
as
possible.
This
keeps
the bucket and tractor center
of
gravity low and
will
provide
maximum
tractor
stability.

A CAUTION
■
Operating the loader on a hillside
is
dangerous. Extreme
care
is
recommended
to
avoid overturn.
When transporting the load, keep the bucket as low
as possible to avoid tipping, in case a wheel drops
in
a rut. See Figure 7.

DUMPING THE BUCKET
Lift the bucket high enough to clear the side of the
vehicle. Move the tractor in as close to the side of the
vehicle as possible, then dump the bucket. See
Figure 8.
Figure 8
LOWERING BUCKET
After the bucket
is
dumped, back away from the
vehicle while lowering and rolling back the bucket.

RAISE
OPERATING WITH FLOAT CONTROL
During hard surface operation,
1
keep the bucket level
and put the lift control
in
the float position
to
permit the
bucket to float
on
the working surface. If hydraulic
down pressure
is
exerted
on
the bucket, it will wear
faster than normal. See Figure[ 10.

The float will also prevent tpe mixing of surface
material with stockpile material. The float position will
reduce the chance
of
surface gpuging when removing
snow
or
other material,
or
when working with a blade.

LOADING
FROM

Exercise caution when undercutting high banks. Dirt
slides can
be
dangerous. ijoad from
as
low
as
possible for maximum effici~ncy. Loader lift and
break-away capacity diminis~ as loading height is
increased. 1
If the pile sides are too high and liable to cause
cave-in, use the loader
to
bre~k down the sides until
a slot can be cut over the topi See Figure
