Operation

Removing material/digging in soft soil

DANGER!

If foundations or walls are undermined – risk of collapse. Accident risk.

☞ Never undermine foundations or walls.

☞ Place the bucket horizontally on the ground B by pushing control lever forward C.

☞ Set the digging angle α 1 by pushing control lever to the right B.

☞ Drive the machine forward 1. After the bucket has penetrated the soil:

☞ Set the digging angle α (slightly flatter) 2 by pushing control lever to the left A, so that the:

• Layer being removed is as even as possible.

• Wheel spin is reduced.

☞ Proceed as for loading loose material.

Removing material/digging in hard soil

☞ Lower the bucket horizontally to the ground 1 by pushing control lever forward C.

☞ Set the digging angle α (downward) 2 by pushing control lever to the left A.

☞ Drive the machine forward 3

☞ Press the bucket downward slightly by pushing control lever forward C.

After the bucket has penetrated the soil:

☞ Set the digging angle α (slightly flatter) 1 by pushing control lever to the left A, so that the:

• Layer being removed is as even as possible.

• Wheel spin is reduced.

☞ Push control lever to the left A, or move it alternately to the left and right A and B to loosen the material.

☞ Proceed as for loading material hard to penetrate.

Loading heaped material (non-compacted material)

WARNING!

Digging under heaped material can cause it to collapse –Accident risk.

☞ Never undermine heaped material.

☞ Set the cutting edge parallel to the ground by pushing control lever to the left or right A and B.

☞ Lower the bucket horizontally to the ground by pushing control lever forward C.

☞ Drive forward.

After penetrating the heaped material:

☞ Smoothly raise the lift arm.

☞ Keep the bucket level.

Operation

When the lift arms cannot be raised farther:

☞ Tilt the bucket 1 back

☞ Raise the lift arms 2.

☞ Reverse out of the material 3.

☞ Lower the bucket into the transport position. Loading heaped material (compacted material)

☞ Proceed as for non-compacted material.

☞ When raising the loader unit through the heaped material: tilt the bucket slightly back and out 1

☞ To do this: move control lever alternately to the left and right (A and B). ➥ Material is loosened.

Grading

After having finished removing/loading the material:

☞ Lower the bucket horizontally to the ground 1

☞ Reverse across the surface to be graded 2

Connecting a Multi-pur pose Bucket (option)

Connectingamulti-purposebuckettothequickhitch

☞ Connect the multi-purpose bucket.

➥ –see Fitting attachments onto the quickhitch on page83.

☞ Make sure both lock pins of the lock cylinder are safely locked in the attachment.

DANGER!

The attachment must always be safely locked onto the quickhitchAccident risk.

☞ Before using the machine, make sure the attachment is safely locked onto the quickhitch. You must be able to see the quickhitch lock pins on either side of the mounting holes on the attachment.

☞ Make sure the lock pins of the quickhitch are fully extended before connecting the 3rd control circuit hydraulic lines to the attachment.
