OPERATING THE MACHINE TRANSPORTING Make sure that the transport route is in perfect condition and that nobody is in your way. Remove any rocks or large stones which have fallen down out of the operating range (see chapter "Tire Service Life"). Hold the bucket in tip-in position. Lower the boom to its transport position. If the boom is in transport position, the two red arrows of the transport position marking on the lifting cyl- inder will be next to each other. 75_152 DUMPING / UNLOADING Always select the dumping/unloading type with the smallest turning circle and driving effort in order to work as efficiently as possible. Danger of accidents!
If you turn or brake abruptly with the lifted load, the load may fall out of the bucket and cause accidents! Turn slowly with the load lifted and brake cautiously. The bucket and the machine will be damaged if you drive into a heap of soil or rocks with high speed! Drive slowly into a heap of soil or rocks. Avoid any excessive shaking of the bucket. Always oper- ate with respect to the condition of the tires (see chapter "Tire Service Life"). LOADING IN DIAGONAL DIRECTION Align the machine in rectangular position to the heap. Drive the machine backwards in straight line after you have filled the buck- et. Then, let the dump truck drive between heap and machine.
Drive up to the dump truck and unload the material. This operation requires not much time and considerably reduces the cycle time. 5-34
