PRE-OPERATION----
1
Before operating the loader,
for
optimum stability, ad-
ditional weight should
be
added
to
the rear
of
the trac-
tor
with
rear wheel weights or liquid ballast. Refer
to
your tractor operator's manual
for
weighting informa-
tion.
The effective counterbalance weight
of
mounted rear
equipment
is
determined by multiplying the actual
weight
of
equipment by 1.50.
EXAMPLE: Equipment weighing 800 pounds, attach-
ed
to the rear
of
the tractor, multiplied
by
1.50,
equals
1200
pounds
of
effective counterbalance weight.
-----OPERATION
The loader should be operated
with
the tractor engine
running at 1700-2200 rpm. Excessive speeds are
dangerous, and may cause bucket spillage and un-
necessary strain on the tractor and loader.
When operating in temperatures below
30°
F., run the
tractor engine below 1200 rpm until the oil
temperature exceeds
30°
F.
The following text and illustrations offer suggested
loader and tractor operating techniques.
FILLING THE BUCKET
Approach and enter the pile
with
a level bucket.
Ease
both levers back
to
lift and roll back the bucket.

The lift and rollback
of
the bucket will increase effi-
ciency 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
com-
pletely 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 at- f
tempts are made to
fill
the
bucket
on each pass.
