AWARNING
NEVER push the Controls into the "Float"
position with the
Bucket
or
Attachment
loaded
and/or
raised.
Doing
so
could
cause the Lift Arm to lower rapidly and the
Bucket or Attachment to dump.
Dumping the
load
Into a Box
Carry the loaded Bucket low and approach the truck,
trailer or spreader box squarely with the side
of
the
box. Stop your approach
as
close to the side
of
the box
as
possible while still allowing clearance for raising
the Lift Arm and loaded Bucket. Then, raise the Lift
Arm until the Bucket clears the top
of
the box and
move the Loader ahead to position the Bucket over the
inside
of
the box. After the material
is
dumped, back
away from the box and lower the Lift Arm while
rolling the Bucket back.
Dumping
the
load
Over
a
Solid
Embankment
ACAUTION
Do NOT drive too close to an excavation or
ditch; BE SURE the surrounding ground
has
adequate
strength
to
support
the
weight of the Loader and the load.
Carry the loaded Bucket
as
low
as
possible while
traveling toward the dumping area. Stop the Loader at
the position where the Bucket extends half-way over
the edge
of
the embankment. Then, roll the Bucket
forward and raise the Lift Arm to dump the material.
After the material
is
dumped, back away from the
embankment while lowering the Lift Arm and rolling
the Bucket back.
Scraping with a Bucket
For scraping, the Skid Loader should be operated in
the forward direction. First, position the Lift Arm
down against the Loader Frame. Tip the Bucket Cut-
ting Edge at a slight angle to the surface being scraped.
While traveling slowly forward, with the Bucket in this
position, material can flow over the Cutting Edge and
collect inside the Bucket.
