The operator should spot the haul units. Do this by suspending the dipper above the spot where you want to dump. Each haul unit driver can then position his truck body in the center of this target area. CAUTION:
Set the hoist brake to hold the loaded dipper in position if spotting time will exceed 30 seconds.
The working face often has difficult areas where blasting failed to fragmentize the rock or material. Avoid these areas while loading the truck. Loosen and break out the difficult/tight material while waiting on haul trucks to return.
Haul truck spotting can also be done quickly by keeping the pit area immediately within the radius of the boom point clear of rocks and debris. This housekeeping practice can also reduce the cost of shovel crawler maintenance and haul truck tire expense.
CAUTION:
Do not sweep rocks or blocks of material on the floor of the pit with the dipper. This practice will accelerate wear and cause serious machine damage.
