Practical hints for digging
• Exits from pits must be outside the digging line and as level as possible
• Dig by removing adjacent strips if possible
• Ensure that you can drive forward when travelling out of the digging area with a fully
loaded bucket
• Whenever possible, travel in reverse when transporting a full bucket down a steep slope
–seeSafety instructions regarding work with a full standard bucket on page 3-78
Tilt position of the bucket
• The position of surface A on the upper edge of the bucket corresponds to the position
of leading edge B
If the bucket is very full, the material may fall over the rear of the bucket.
Loading loose material
☞Loading loose material
• Align the blade parallel with the ground A
• Lower the loader unit to the ground B. To do this: push the control lever forward C
• Drive forward into the material A
When the engine speed is reduced due to too much material:
• Slightly raise the loader unit B. To do this: pull the control lever backward D
In order to avoid damage to the machine or tyres, do not move the machine
with the bucket fully tilted out
