Dumping the Load Onto a Pile
Slowly stop forward motion upon reaching the pile.
Raise and extend the boom high enough so that the
bucket clears the top of the pile. Slowly move the
machine ahead to position the bucket for dumping.
Empty the bucket and back the machine away while
retracting and lowering the boom, and rolling the buck-
et back.
Dumping the Load Into a Box
With the load low, approach the truck or trailer box
squarely with the side. Stop your approach as close to
the side of the box as possible while still allowing
clearance for raising and extending the boom. Raise
and extend the boom until the bucket clears the top of
the box. Slowly position the bucket over the inside of
the box. Dump the material then retract and lower the
boom while rolling the bucket back.
