Komatsu — Loading operations

3.3 Operation Operation Load and carry operations z When carrying a load, lower the bucket to lower the cen- ter of gravity when traveling. z When the machine is traveling or the work equipment is raised, the moment that the E.C.S.S. switch (option) is turned ON, the work equipment will move. z If the E.C.S.S. system (option) is switched on, the work equipment may move. GK032211 The load and carry method for wheel loaders consists of a cycle of scooping -> hauling ->loading (into a hopper, truck, etc.) Always keep the travel path properly maintained. When using the load and carry method, see "Precautions for using load and carry method (3-98)".

Loading operations Select the method of operation which will give the minimum amount of turning and travel in order to provide the most efficient method for the jobsite. z Always keep the jobsite flat, and do not operate the steering wheel suddenly or apply the brakes suddenly when the lift arm is raised with a loaded bucket. This is dangerous. z Never thrust the bucket in when traveling at high speed (when loading soil or crushed rock). This is dangerous. z When the machine is traveling or the work equipment is raised, the moment that the E.C.S.S. switch (option) is turned ON, the work equipment will move. z If the E.C.S.S. system (option) is switched on, the work equipment may move.

NOTE z If the tires slip, the tire life will be reduced, so do not allow the tires to slip during operation. z Avoid excessive bucket shaking. 3-88 WA150-5H – VEAM934100 WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING
