Using a Bucket
Always maintain a safe distance from electric power
lines and avoid contact with any electrically charged conductor or gas
line. Accidental contact or rupture can result in electrocution or an
explosion. Contact the “Digger’s Hotline” or proper local authorities for
utility line locations before starting to dig.
Driving over Rough Terrain
When traveling over rough terrain, drive slowly with the bucket lowered.
Driving on an Incline
When traveling on an incline, the loader must travel with the heavy end
pointing uphill.
Digging with a Bucket
Approach the digging site with the lift arm slightly
raised and the bucket tilted forward until the edge
contacts the ground. Break the ground by driving
forward and gradually lowering the lift arm.
With the bucket filled, tilt the bucket back, back the
loader away from the material and rest the lift arm
against the loader frame before proceeding to the
dumping area.
Always carry the loaded bucket with the lift arm
resting on the loader frame. For additional stability when operating on
inclines, always travel with the heavier end of the loader toward the top of
the incline.
Loading a Bucket
Approach the pile with the lift arm fully lowered and
the bucket tilted slightly forward until the edge
contacts the ground. Drive forward, lifting the lift
arm and tilting back the bucket to fill it. Back away
from the pile.
