Safety Instructions When Working with
Buckets
Avoid tilting a bucket back when the lift arm is
fully raised. Material may fall over the rear of the
bucket and onto the operator's position.
When on slopes, always set the lift arm to the
transport position (“Attachment Transport
Position” on page 96) and tilt the bucket fully
back.
Secure heavy or awkward loads. If necessary, fit
the rear of the bucket with a guard to prevent
material from falling out of the back of the
bucket.
Whenever possible, drive in reverse when
transporting a bucket loaded with material down
a steep slope.
Make sure you have a good view of the material
you are digging, and of the area you will be
working in.
Working with Standard Buckets
Scooping
Use extreme care when digging around
foundations or walls. Never remove material
that might compromise a wall or foundation.
1. Lower the bucket to the ground (Fig. 110).
2. Tilt the bucket slightly forward so the bucket
blade is pointing slightly down into the ground.
3. Drive forward until the bucket is filled with
material. Adjust the bucket tilt as needed to
remove an even layer of ground and to reduce
track slip.
4. Tilt the bucket back and raise it to scoop up
material.
5. Reduce engine speed and back out of the
material.
6. Set the bucket to transport position. See
“Attachment Transport Position” on page 96.
