Digging and Loading Level Ground
IMPORTANT: While operating the bucket or fork, never
apply excessive force to the tooth tips with the
bucket or fork tilted more than 10°. This may result in
cracks or damage to the front attachment.
Slightly position the bucket edge downward (0 to 10
degrees) and dig the ground while moving the machine
forward as described below. Always take care not to apply
loads to only to one side of the bucket.
1. Position the bucket edge slightly downward (dump
forward 10 degrees or less).
2. While moving the machine forward in 1st or 2nd
speed, roll the bucket forward so that the ground
surface is gradually lifted.
Increase engine speed as the bucket digs deeper.
3. Adjust the digging depth by operating the lift arm or
bucket.
4. When the bucket is filled, move the machine with the
bucket fully rolled back. Clear the ground and held at
the driving position.
