OPERATION
PREPARING TRACTOR
Before operating the loader, for optimum stability,
additional weight should be added
to
the rear of the
tractor with rear wheel weights
or
liquid ballast. Refer
to your tractor operator's manual for weighting
information.
The tractor rear wheels should be moved to the
tractor manufacturer's widest recommended settings
to increase the stability of the tractor.
OPERATING LOADER
The loader should be operated with the tractor engine
running at a safe RPM. Excessive speeds are danger-
ous, and may cause bucket spillage and unnecessary
strain on the tractor and loader.
FILLING
THE
BUCKET
Approach and enter the pile with a level bucket. See
Figure
1.
Figure 1
Loaders with single handle controls, ease lever back
and toward you
to
lift and rollback the bucket. See
Figure 2.

The lift and rollbadk
of
the bucket will increase
efficiency because
la
level bucket throughout the
lifting cycle resists bucket lift and increases break-
away effort.

NOTE: Do not be concerned if
the
bucket is not
completely filled during each pass. Maximum produc-
tivity is determined by the amqunt
of
material loaded
in
a given period of time. Time is lost if two
or
more
attempts are made to fill the
b'l,lcket
on each pass.
LIFTING THE LOAD
When lifting the load, keep th~ bucket positioned to
avoid spillage. See Figure 4. I
