OPERATING THE MACHINE
5-31
LOADING
• Danger of accidents! The machine may fall over if you
transport a load with the bucket lifted too high!
Lower the bucket during transporting loads in order to
lower the centre of gravity of the machine.
The loading operation of wheel loaders is based on the following
principle:
Removing or digging
→ Transport → Dumping
In the following sections, the individual operation steps of this
operating cycle are explained.
REMOVING PILED UP SOIL
• If you perform removal operations with the machine being
in an unbalanced position, you may damage the articulat-
ed steering and the cardan shaft!
Always drive into the material which you want to remove
in straight direction.
For removal operations, adhere to the instructions in chapter
"Tire Service Life". For removal operations, proceed as follows:
1. Driveinstraightlinetothepiledupsoil.
2. While driving forward, lower the bucket rapidly until it reach-
es a height of approx. 11.8 in (30 cm) over the ground and
hold the bucket in this position.
☞
• If the bucket touches the ground, the front wheels may be
lifted from the ground, resulting in premature wear and
tear of the rear wheels.
3. Then, proceed with slowly lowering the bucket onto the
ground.
4. Brake right in front of the material to be removed using the
service brake, while pressing down the accelerator pedal at
the same time.
