OPERATING THE MACHINE V-SHAPED LOADING Position the dump truck in such a way that the angle between the dump and the dump truck is approx. 60°. Fill the bucket and shake it. This leads to a better distribution of the cargo in the bucket and prevents that material falls down to the back. Drive the machine backwards from the heap and align the machine with the dump truck. Raise the bucket to its maximum height. Drive up forward to the dump truck and unload the material. If you keep the turning angle of the machine as small as possi- ble, the work can be performed more efficiently.
PILING UP MATERIAL Do not position the bucket in its maximum tip-in or dumping posi- tion while piling up material. Instead, use the required mining an- gle. The rear counterweight must not touch the ground. 5-35
