OPERATION
OPERATING WITH FLOAT CONTROL
During hard surface operation, keep bucket level and put lift control in float position to permit bucket to float on working surface. If hydraulic down pressure is exerted on bucket, it will wear faster than normal.
Float will also prevent mixing of surface material with stockpile material. Float position will reduce the chance of surface gouging when removing snow or other material.
LOADING FROM A BANK
Choose a forward gear that provides sufficient ground speed for loading.
Exercise caution when undercutting high banks. Dirt slides can be dangerous. Load from as low as possible for maximum efficiency. Loader lift and breakaway capacity diminish as loading height is increased.
