and load is stable.
•Be extra careful when operating on a slope.
•Do not operate on steep slopes.
•Do not stop, start or change directions sud- denly on slopes.
•If loader is equipped with round bale attach- ments, always approach bale with tractor facing uphill.
•Be sure tractor tire spacing and rear ballast is correct before using loader.
•Tractor must be equipped with a
Use extreme care when operating the loader on a slope, keeping the bucket as low as possible. This will maintain a low center of gravity for the bucket and trac- tor and will provide maximum tractor stability.
When transporting the load, keep the bucket as low as possible to avoid tipping in case a wheel drops in a rut.

Dumping Bucket
Figure 10. Dumping Bucket
Lift the bucket high enough to clear the side of the vehi- cle. Move the tractor in as close as possible, then dump the bucket. See Figure 10.
Lowering Bucket
After the bucket is dumped, back away from the vehicle while lowering and rolling back the bucket.
Figure 11. Control Handle Function
Operating with Float Control
During hard surface operation, 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, it will wear faster than normal.
The float will also prevent the mixing of surface mate- rial with stockpile material. The float position will reduce the chance of surface gouging when removing snow or other material.

Loading from a Bank
See Figure 13.
Exercise caution when undercutting high banks. Dirt slides can be dangerous. Load the bucket from as low a position as possible for maximum efficiency. Loader lift and
Keep the bucket level when approaching a bank or pile. This will help prevent gouging in the work area.
