Dozing; Scooping - Hitachi ZW140-6 Operator's Manual

Dozing

IMPORTANT:
 Never attempt to forcibly push piled material higher
than the bucket capacity. Premature wear of the tires
due to slipping and/or waste of fuel may result.
 Do not perform dozing with the bucket dumped.
Abnormal excessive stress will be applied on the
front attachment.
 Never apply great traction force to the cutting edge
with the cutting edge tilted forward more than 10°.
Failure to obey so may result in damage such as
cracks to the working tools and front attachment.
Dozing stands for a working method performed by a wheel
loader using the wheel loader bucket in place of a bulldozer
blade. This operation method is employed when reclaiming
land or dumping material into a hopper.
Set the bucket bottom parallel with the ground surface and
drive the wheel loader forward.
