3. 2 OPERATING PROCEDURES
1. When learning to use the loader operate at a slow rate.
2. Take advantage of the efficient operation of the loader.
Keep the travel distance as short as possible. Keep the
work area small so the cycle time is short.
3. Keep the work area as level as possible.
4. Decrease cycle time by “skid” turning (section 2 .7) rather
than a go backward-go forward turn.
5. Fill the bucket to rated capacity. Turning is easier with a
full load than with a partial load. Keep the loaded bucket
close to the ground when transporting.
6. Tilt the bucket as you raise the lift arms or drive up a
slope. This will prevent material from falling off the back
of the bucket.
7. Do not drive across a slope. Always go up or down a slope
with the heavy end of the loader pointing up towards the
top of the slope.
3. 3 FILLING FROM A PILE
Push down on the toe of the lift arm pedal and lower the lift arms
completely down (Fig. 3. 3A). Push the toe of the bucket pedal
and place the cutting edge of the bucket on the ground. For hand
control units, move the L.H. control lever towards you and lower
the lift arms completely down.Move the R.H. control lever away
from you (Fig. 3. 3A) and place the cutting edge of the bucket on
the ground.
Drive the loader forward slowly. As the bucket begins to fill push
on the heel of the bucket pedal to raise the front of the bucket
(Fig. 3. 3B) and push on the heel of the lift arm pedal to raise the
lift arms. When the bucket is full back away from the pile. For
hand control units, move the R.H. control lever towards you to
raise the front of the bucket, and move the L.H. control lever
away from you to raise the lift arms (Fig. 3. 3B). When the bucket
is full back away from the pile.
