OPERATION
LOADING LOW TRUCKS OR SPREADERS FROM A PILE
For faster loading, minimize angle of turn and
length of run between pile and spreader. Back
grade occasionally with a loaded bucket to keep
working surface free of ruts and holes. Also, hold
lift control forward so full weight of bucket is
scraping ground.
Do not roll bucket over and attempt to
backgrade. This type of use can cause severe
overloading of bucket cylinders when fully
extended, possibly causing bucket cylinder rods
to become bent. Back grade occasionally with
loaded bucket to eliminate ruts and holes. Use
the heel of the bucket by holding down pressure
of the lift cylinder.
Approach pile with a level bucket.
