OPERATION 12.13.3 LEVELING OPERATION NOTICE: Always operate the machine in reverse when carrying out leveling operations. If it is necessary to carry out leveling operations when traveling forward, do not set the bucket dumping angle to more than 20 E . 1. Scoop soil into bucket. Move the machine backward while spreading soil from the bucket little by little. 2. Go over the spread soil with the bucket teeth touching the ground and level the ground by back-dragging. 3. Scoop some more soil into the bucket, put the lift arm in float, level the bucket at ground level, and smooth the ground by moving backwards. 12.13.4 PUSHING OPERATIONS NOTICE:
Never set the bucket to the DUMP position when carrying out pushing operation. When carrying out pushing operations, set the bottom of the bucket parallel to the ground surface. 12.13.5 LOAD AND CARRY OPERATIONS WARNING When carrying a load, lower the bucket to lower the center of gravity when traveling. The load and carry method for wheel loaders consist of a cycle of scooping - hauling - loading (into a hopper, pit etc.) Always keep the travel path maintained. When using the load and carry method, SEE "12.21 HANDLING TIRES" on page 2-57. 2-48
