Dumping the Load onto a Pile
Carry the loaded bucket as low as possible until reach-
ing the pile. Slowly stop forward motion, then raise
and extend the boom high enough so that the bucket
clears the top of the pile. Then slowly move the
machine ahead to position the bucket, and dump the
material on top of the pile. Empty the bucket. Back the
machine away while retracting and lowering the boom,
and rolling back the bucket.
Dumping the Load into a Truck
Carry the loaded bucket low and approach the truck or
trailer box, square with the side of the box. Stop 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, and slowly position the bucket over the
inside of the box. Then tilt the bucket forward. After
the material is dumped, slowly back away from the
box, and then retract and lower the boom while rolling
back the bucket.
Dumping the Load over an Embankment
Carry the loaded bucket as low as possible while slow-
ly traveling toward the dumping area. Stop the
machine at the position where the bucket extends half-
way over the edge of the embankment. Then tilt the
bucket forward, and raise and extend the boom to
dump the material. After the material is dumped, slow-
ly back away from the embankment while retracting
and lowering the boom, and then rolling back the buck-
et.
Scraping with a Bucket
Refer to the illustration on the next page. For scraping,
the machine should be operated in the forward direc-
tion. First, position the boom retracted and down. Next
tilt the bucket cutting edge forward at a slight angle.
Then travel slowly forward. With the bucket in this
position, material can flow over the cutting edge and
collect inside the bucket.
When the bucket is filled, back the machine away from
the material and roll back the bucket before proceeding
to the dumping area.
WARNING
ALWAYS carry a loaded bucket as close to the
ground as possible. For additional stability
when operating on inclines, ALWAYS travel
with bucket end of the machine toward the top
of the incline.
