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.
