F-4145 01/11 Operation Section 4-6

OPERATION
When on the side of a steep slope, cut a level surface
along the uphill side of the trench with the loader.
Pile the spoil of the cut downhill. When digging, pile the
spoil of the trench uphill.
Dig field trenches progressively. As soon as one trench is
completed, have the work men lay the tile. Start the next
trench, using the spoil to fill the previous trench.
MISCELLANEOUS
When finishing straight walls or bell holes in sandy soil, use
a platform under the rear tires and stabilizers. The platform
distributes the load over a larger area and lessens the
possibility of a cave-in. The platform also tends to keep the
unit from creeping rearward if hard digging is encountered.
FINISHING STRAIGHT WALLS
Finish the far wall by crowding out while forcing the bucket
down with the bottom. Actuate the bucket (curl out) to keep
the bottom of the bucket vertical.
