OPERATING THE MACHINE
5-33
TRANSPORTING
Make sure that the transport route is in perfect condition and that
nobody is in your way. Remove any rocks or large stones which
have fallen down out of the operating range (see chapter "Tire
Service Life"). Hold the bucket in tip-in position. Lower the boom
to its transport position. If the boom is in transport position, the
two red arrows of the transport position marking on the lifting cyl-
inder will be next to each other.
DUMPING / UNLOADING
Always select the dumping/unloading type with the smallest
turning circle and driving effort in order to work as efficiently as
possible.
• Danger of accidents! If you turn or brake abruptly with the
lifted load, the load may fall out of the bucket and cause
accidents!
• Turn slowly with the load lifted and brake cautiously.
• The bucket and the machine will be damaged if you drive
into a heap of soil or rocks with high speed!
• Drive slowly into a heap of soil or rocks.
☞
• Avoid any excessive shaking of the bucket. Always oper-
ate with respect to the condition of the tires (see chapter
"Tire Service Life").
LOADING IN DIAGONAL DIRECTION
Align the machine in rectangular position to the heap. Drive the
machine backwards in straight line after you have filled the buck-
et. Then, let the dump truck drive between heap and machine.
Drive up to the dump truck and unload the material.
This operation requires not much time and considerably reduces
the cycle time.
