6. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The loader should be operated with the tractor engine running at mid rpm. Excessive speeds are dangerous, and
may cause bucket spillage and unnecessary strain on the tractor and loader.
When operating in temperatures below 30
o
F, run the tractor engine below 1200 rpm until the hydraulic fluid
temperature exceeds 30
o
F.
The following text and illustrations offer suggested loader and tractor operating techniques.
6.1. FILLING THE BUCKET
Approach and enter the pile with a level bucket. Then
rollback and lift the bucket.
The rollback and lifting of the bucket will increase
efficiency because a level bucket throughout the lifting
cycle resists bucket lift and increases breakaway effort.
NOTE: Do not be concerned if the bucket is not
completely 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.
6.2. LIFTING THE LOAD
When lifting the load, keep the bucket positioned to
avoid spillage.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to lift bucket or
attachment loads in excess of the loader
capacity.
6.3. CARRYING THE LOAD
Position the loader in a low position when transporting
a loaded or empty bucket or attachment.
Use extreme care when operating the loader on a
slope. Keep the bucket as low as possible. This keeps
the bucket and tractor center of gravity low and will
provide maximum tractor stability.
CAUTION: Operating the loader on a
hillside is dangerous and is not
recommended.
When transporting a load, keep the bucket as low as
possible to avoid tipping, in case a wheel drops in a rut.
