Working with the front bucket
When driving into the goods to be loaded, use a driving speed to suit the type of goods and the given conditions.
Ensure that excessive wheel slip does not occur. Tire wear and fuel consumption increase unnecessarily and the
wheel loader's power is not fully utilized.
Loading
To pick up loose material, lower the front bucket so that it is parallel to the ground and drive into the goods to be
loaded. The driving speed depends on the type of goods and the given working conditions.
Now raise the lifting frame slightly so that the front axle of the wheel loader is under load. This avoids excessive
wheel slip. You can also manually limit the wheel slip by inching.
When the front bucket is full, tilt it. You can now drive to the unloading point with the filled bucket.
Drive straight up to the unloading point and lift the bucket just before the unloading point.
If material which the front bucket can only penetrate with difficulty is to be loaded, you can use the control lever to
generate an up and down movement at the bucket's cutting edge. This facilitates penetration of the bucket into the
material.
Excavation work
Soft ground: To excavate soft material, lower the front bucket to the ground and tilt it forward far enough to create
a digging angle. If you now drive the wheel loader forwards, the cutting edge of the bucket penetrates into the
ground. Now flatten the tilt angle in order to remove as even a layer as possible and avoid excessive wheel slip.
Hard ground: To excavate hard material, lower the front bucket to the ground and tilt it forward far enough to create
a digging angle. If you now move forwards with the wheel loader, push the bucket down slightly so that it can
penetrate the ground.
If the cutting edge of the bucket penetrates into the ground, flatten the tilt angle. Use the control lever to move the
cutting edge up and down.
