3. When lowering the bucket to the ground, reduce the lower-
ing speed of the bucket when it is close to the ground and
bring it slowly into contact with the ground.
4. Make angle (a) between the bucket and the ground surface
a maximum of 8°, and operate the tilt and dump so that only
the cutting edge comes in contact with the ground.
5. Drive forward at right angles to the rock and change the
direction that the machine is facing.
6. Operate the accelerator to match the condition of the road
surface so that the tires do not slip.
7. Scoop up the gathered rock. Load hard cutting face rock or
boulders in the middle of the bucket.
Digging
NOTE
z
Do not shift down with the accelerator pedal depressed (with
the engine speed raised). If the transmission is shifted down
when the engine speed is high, there will be an excessive
load on the engine, torque converter, transmission, axles,
final drive, and the whole power train.
z
When thrusting the bucket in, shift down to 1st. If the bucket
is thrust in at high speed, there will be an impact load on the
machine and this will reduce the service life of the machine.
z
When shifting down, release the accelerator pedal to reduce
the engine speed before shifting down. Then gradually
depress the accelerator pedal. If the accelerator is operated
suddenly after shifting down, there will be excessive load
brought to bear on the engine and power train.
z
Do not carry out operations with the machine articulated. If
the machine is articulated, the direction of force will be differ-
ent on the front wheels and rear wheels. As a result, the
power when traveling will not be transmitted fully to the front
wheels, so this will reduce the digging force and bring an
excessive load to bear on the center hinge pin. In addition,
even with the front wheels, the power will not be transmitted
uniformly to the left and right wheels. The load will be
brought to bear on one wheel, so this will reduce the service
life of the tire on one side.
