Working with the bucket
WARNING
Tipping hazards. Improper use of the loader lift
arms and bucket may cause the loader to tip, pos-
sibly causing injury or equipment damage.
►
Operate the loader with the bucket as close as
practical to the working surface or ground to
reduce the risk of tipping the wheel loader.
►
To reduce the risk of tipping the wheel loader,
do not raise the loader lift arms and fully loaded
bucket unless the ground or operating surface
is firm and flat.
►
Do not drive across slopes with the loader arms
raised.
►
Do not travel up or down slopes with the loader
arms raised.
Adjust your driving speed when driving into the
loading material, according to the type of material
and the respective conditions.
Make sure that no excessive wheel slip occurs.
Tire wear and fuel consumption will increase un-
necessarily and the loader's performance will not
be fully utilized.
Loading work
Lower the bucket to pick up loose material so that it is paral-
lel to the ground and move it into the material to be loaded.
Here the driving speed should correspond to the type of
material and the respective working conditions (Fig. 51).
