FILLING THE BUCKET

Approach and enter the pile with a level bucket.

Loaders with 1-lever control, ease lever back and toward you to lift and rollback the bucket.

Loaders with 2-lever controls, ease both levers back to lift and rollback the bucket.

The lift and rollback of the bucket will increase effi-

ciency because...

...a level bucket throughout the lifting cycle resists bucket lift and increases breakaway effort.

NOTE; Do not be concerned if the bucket is not completely filled during each pass. Maximum produc- tivity is determined by the amount of material loaded in a given period of time. Time is lost if two or more attempts are made to fill the bucket on each pass.
