5. Precautions for operating the
loader with float control
• During operation of the loader on hard surface,
keep
the bucket level and put the lift control in the
float position to permit the bucket to float on the
working surface. If hydraulic down pressure is
exerted on the bucket, the bucket will wear faster
than normal.
(A) Float
• The float
position
will also avoid mixing of surface
material with stockpile material. The float position
will reduce the chance of surface gouging while
removing snow or other material, or when working
with a blade.
