Operation Digging tips When completing digging work, we recommend the following:
• Exit the pit, as level as possible, from outside the digging line. • Dig by removing adjacent strips. • Drive in forward when transporting a full bucket out of the digging area. • Drive in reverse when transporting a full bucket down a steep slope. Loading trucks When loading trucks, we recommend the following:
• The truck and loader working direction should form an angle of 45°. • Only raise a full bucket to the dump height when you are driving in a straight line toward the truck.
• Dump with the wind behind you to keep the dust away from your eyes, air filters, and fans.
