Filling Bucket
1.Approach and enter the pile with a level bucket.
Figure 4. Filling Bucket
2.Loaders with single handle controls: Ease the lever back and toward you to lift and roll back the bucket, Figure 5.
Figure 5. Single Handle Control
3.Lift and rollback bucket.
Figure 6. Lift and Rollback Bucket
The lift and rollback of the bucket will increase effi- ciency because maintaining a level bucket throughout the lifting cycle resists bucket lift and increases break- away effort, Figure 6.
NOTE: Do not be concerned if the bucket is not com- pletely filled during each pass. Maximum productivity 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.
Lifting Load
Do not attempt to lift loads in excess of the loader capacity.
When lifting the load, keep the bucket positioned to avoid spillage, Figure 7.
Figure 7. Lifting Load
Carrying Load
Position the bucket just below the level of the tractor hood for maximum stability and visibility, whether the bucket is loaded or empty, Figure 8.

Operating on a Slope
AVOID INJURY OR DEATH FROM ROLLOVER ACCIDENTS:
•Move and turn tractor at less than 6 mph (10 km/h).
•Watch for hidden hazards such as holes, ditches, and other obstructions which may cause tractor and loader to tip over.
•Carry loads close to the ground to aid visibil- ity and lower center of gravity for improved sta- bility.
•Balance loads so weight is evenly distributed
