LOADER TECHNIQUES
Fig. 4.35. Digging or Excavating
Clearing an excavation. Fig. 4.36 may be performed with the bucket partly in the dump position by
disposing of the material carried in the bucket.
It is recommended to clear an excavation a little above the ground level because after compaction
the ground will be level. Approach an excavation at the right angle and stop the front wheels at a
safe distance from the edge of the excavation.
Fig. 4.36. Clearing an Excavation
When clearing a rocky area, remove the small and loose rocks first, large and solid rocks can then
be loosened and moved with less difficulty.
Method of digging and removing large rocks is shown in Fig. 4.37. It is easier to load the rock by
digging under the rock with the bucket. Push on the bucket and roll it back simultaneously.
