Scraping with a Bucket
For scraping, the loader should be operated
in the forward direction. Position the lift
arm down against the loader frame. Tilt the
bucket cutting edge forward at a slight
angle to the surface being scraped. While
traveling slowly forward with the bucket in
this position, material can flow over the
cutting edge and collect inside the bucket
(Figure 25).
Leveling the Ground
Drive the loader to the far edge of the area
to be leveled. Tilt the bucket forward to
place the bucket cutting edge at a 30 to
45 degree angle to the surface being lev-
eled. Then place the lift arm into the float
position and drive the loader rearward,
dragging the dirt and, at the same time,
leveling it (Figure 26).
Note: The “float” (detent) position for T-Bar loaders is reached by pushing the
right handle all the way forward, and for dual-hand control loaders by rotating
the left handle all the way outward. For hand/foot control loaders, use the toes of
the left foot to push the front of the left pedal all the way down. For T-bar/Joystick
control loaders press float button the right grip. Pressing button for more than 5
seconds will allow the machine to go into detent (“float”) mode. Press again to
cancel detent.
Check that the work area is clear of people
and obstacles. Always look in the direction of
travel.
Highway Travel
If it becomes necessary to move the loader a long distance, use a properly rated
trailer. (See Transporting the Loader on page 45) For short distance highway
travel, attach an SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) emblem (purchased locally) to the
back of the loader. For highway operation, install dual amber flashers or a strobe
light. Check state and local laws and regulations.
