Leveling with a Bucket
First drive the Loader to the outer edge
of
the area to
be leveled. Then, with the Lift Arm down against the
Frame, push the Lift/Tilt T-Bar
(TBar
Controlled
Loaders),
or Left Foot Pedal(Hand & Foot Controlled
Loaders),
into the "float" position and roll the Bucket
forward to place the Bucket Cutting Edge at a 30 to 45
degree angle to the surface being leveled. Proceed to
drive the Loader backwards dragging the dirt and, at
the same time, leveling it.
NOTE:
The
"f/oat" (detent) position for T-Bar
Controlled Loaders is reached
by
pushing the
right T-Bar all the way forward. For Hand -Foot
Controlled Loaders use your toe
to
push the front
of
the left Foot Pedal all the way down. This
position opens both work ports
to
the Reservoir
and thus allows the Lift Arm
to
"f/oat" while the
Bucket follows the ground contour.
