Releasing A Load
1. Be sure to read and understand all safety alerts
under
2. Stop in front of the desired location.
3. Slowly raise load to the required height.
4. Move forward slowly checking to make sure bucket
and load clears all obstacles.
5. Stop forward movement when load is positioned over
its release location.
6. Releasing the load requires a combination of the
tilting front of the bucket down, raising the upper
grapple tine, and raising the loader arms. The order
in which the load is released will vary depending on
type of material being released. The most important
objective is to have the load under control throughout
the release.
7.
Once the load has settled, slowly back up making
sure bucket clears all objects and no pedestrians or
other traffic are behind or on either side of the tractor.
8. Leave enough clearance when turning and/or
lowering the bucket so that it does not make contact
with obstacles such as vehicles, buildings, trees, or
fences.
9. Close the grapple and lower the bucket to
transporting height (low to the ground) before moving
again.
