Backfilling Holes and Embankments
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.
1. (Figure 75) Lower the bucket
a few inches from the
ground. Slowly drive forward
until the front edge of the
bucket extends halfway over
the edge of the hole or
embankment.
2. Tilt the bucket forward to
dump the material.
3. Tilt back and raise the
bucket. Inspect the hole/
embankment for proper
filling.
4. Continue to dump material as
necessary for proper fill.
5. Back away from the
embankment while tilting the
bucket back and lowering the
lift arm.
