OPERATION
Make additional passes until desired depth is
reached. During each pass, use only bucket
control while working depth. This will allow you to
concentrate on controlling bucket angle to
maintain a precise cut.
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.
