Operation
LOADING
Always select the type of operation with the smallest turning circle and
driving effort in order to work as efficiently as possible.
WARNING
Danger of accidents! If you turn or brake abruptly with the lifted
load, the load may fall out of the bucket and cause accidents!
Turn slowly with the load lifted and brake cautiously.
CAUTION
The bucket and the machine are damaged if you drive into a
heap of soil or rocks with high speed!
Drive slowly into a heap of soil or rocks.
Removing heaps of loose soil or debris of exploded rock may cause
premature wear and tear of the tyres due to cracks and small fissures.
As a result, the service life of the tyres is reduced. Proceed as follows to
avoid unnecessary wear and tear of the tyres:
• Try to work on level ground and remove any rocks and large stones
which are sticking out.
• If you are working on heaps, drive the machine in the 1st or 2nd gear.
If you are loading rock debris, drive the machine in the first gear.
NOTE
Avoid excessive shaking of the bucket
LOADING IN DIAGONAL DIRECTION
Align the machine in rectangular position to the heap. Drive the machine
backwards in straight line after you have filled the bucket. Then, let the
dump truck drive between heap and machine. Drive up to the dump truck
and unload the material.
This operation requires not much time and reduces considerably the
cycle times.
V-SHAPED LOADING
Position the dump truck in such a way that the angle between the dump
and the dump truck is approx. 60°. Fill the bucket and shake it. This
leads to a better distribution of the cargo in the bucket and prevents that
material falls down to the back. Drive the machine backwards from the
heap and align the machine with the dump truck. Raise the bucket to its
maximum height. Drive up forward to the dump truck and unload the
material.
If you keep the turning angle of the machine as small as possible, the
work will be more efficiently.
Shake the bucket after the filling and before raising it to maximum height
in order to stabilise the load and to prevent parts of the load falling out to
rear.
Safety measures when piling up material
Do not position the bucket in its maximum tip-in or dumping position
while piling up material. Instead, use the required mining angle. The rear
counterweight must not touch the ground.
