LOADER TECHNIQUES
Fig. 4.29."V" Loading Method
Fig. 4.30. Step Loading Method
Approach the bank or stockpile with the engine at full governed speed. Keep the bucket flat, working
into the material at or near ground level. As the bucket penetrates the material, raise the bucket
slightly. When the material boils to the top of the spillboard, roll the bucket all the way back, raise
the bucket to provide ground clearance and, at the same time, disengage the forward travel of the
loader as shown in Fig. 4.29. Back away in an arc from the bank or stockpile as show in Figure 4.29
and Figure 4.30 just far enough to allow turning of the loader for the approach to the truck. Digging
in hard material can be aided by "wiggling" the bucket edge immediately after penetration. Operate
the bucket control lever alternately between its roll back and dump positions. This action will loosen
the material and improve bucket loading. Coordinated operation of the two hydraulic control levers
as the bucket enters the material will yield satisfactory bucket loads. The boom assy need not be
fully raised to dump the bucket. Adjust the dump height to height of the side of loader vehicle.
When bank loading, keep the cutting edge flat as shown in Figure 4.31. Tilting the bucket back too
far forces the flat of the cutting edge against the bank preventing the bucket from digging. This
non-productive maneuver causes waste of power and time and possible damage to the bucket
cylinders and linkage.
When stockpiling, move each load only once and keep travel distance down to a minimum. When
possible, locate stockpiles as close as possible without hindering other work on the site.
