OPERATING THE LOADER54
CARRYING THE LOAD
Position the bucket just below the level of the tractor hood
for maximum stability and visibility, whether the bucket is
loaded or empty.
Use extreme care when operating the loader on a slope.
Keep the bucket as low as possible. This keeps the bucket
and tractor center of gravity low and will provide maximum
tractor stability.
To avoid serious personal injury:
A Be extra careful when working on inclines.
A When operating on a slope, always operate up and
down the slope, never across the slope.
When transporting a load, keep the bucket as low as
possible to avoid tipping, in case a wheel drops in a rut.
DUMPING THE BUCKET
Lift the bucket just high enough to clear the side of the
vehicle. Move the tractor in as close to the side of the
vehicle as possible, then dump the bucket.
LOWERING THE BUCKET
After the bucket is dumped, back away from the vehicle
while lowering and rolling back the bucket.
OPERATING WITH FLOAT CONTROL
During operation on hard surface, keep the bucket level
and put the lift control in the float position to permit the
bucket to float on the working surface. If hydraulic down
pressure is exerted on the bucket it will wear faster than
normal.
The float position will also avoid mixing of surface material
with stockpile material. The float position will reduce the
chance of surface gouging while removing snow or other
material, or when working with a blade.
