Loading Low Trucks or Spreaders from a Pile
For easier loading, minimize the angle of turn and length of run between pile and spreader. See Figure 26.
Backblading
Position the bucket at an angle of less than 45º and backup slowly. See Figure 28
Backgrading or backblading with bucket tilted too far will result in damage to tilt cylinders and void warranty. See Figure 28.

Backgrading
Backgrade occasionally with a loaded bucket to keep the working surface free of ruts and holes. Also, hold the control lever forward so the full weight of the
bucket is scraping the ground. Use the heel of theFigure 28 bucket. See Figure 27.
