Bush Hog 2347 QT manual Carrying the Load, Dumping the Bucket, Lowering the Bucket

Page 16

CARRYING THE LOAD

Position the bucket as low as possible below the level of the tractor hood for maximum stability and visibility, whether the bucket is loaded or empty.

Use extreme caution when operating the loader on a slope and keep the bucket as low as possible. This keeps the bucket and tractor center of gravity low and will provide maximum tractor stability.

CAUTION

OPERATING THE LOADER ON A HILLSIDE IS DANGEROUS. EXTREME CARE IS RECOMMENDED.

DUMPING THE BUCKET

Lift the bucket high enough to clear the side of the vehicle. Move the tractor in as close to the side of the vehicle as possible, then dump the bucket.

LOWERING THE BUCKET

After the bucket is dumped, back away from the vehicle while lowering and rolling back the bucket.
