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 multipurpose bucket on page 3-90
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.
Grading and scraping
To operate the 3rd control circuit (open/close bucket)
–seeLock for loader unit control lever and mechanical locking of 3rd control

trical lock for 3rd control circuit lever (option)” on page 3-43
☞Grade as follows:
• Fold up the front half of the bucket
• Set the depth of the layer you want to remove with the lift hydraulics
• Set the angle of the rear cutting edge
☞Drawing material backward
• Tilt out the multipurpose bucket
• Raise the bucket with the lift hydraulics
• Fold up the front half of the bucket
• Lower the multipurpose bucket to the ground
• Set the angle of the bucket
• Surfaces are graded or scraped during reverse travel
