ROLLBACK _ a rut NOT THIS DO THIS 18 OPERATING WITH FLOAT CONTROL During hard surface operation keep the bucket level and put the lift control in the float position to permit the bucket to float on the working surface If hydraulic down pressure is exerted on the bucket it will wear faster than normal Sidecutting is a good technique for cutting down a big pile The float will also prevent the mixing of surface material with stockpile material The float position will reduce the chance of surface gouging when removing snow or other material If the piles are too high and liable to cause cave in use the loader to break down the sides until a slot can be cut over the top LOADING FROM A BANK Choose a forward gear that provides sufficient ground speed for loading Another method for large dirt piles is to build a ramp approach to the pile Exercise caution when undercutting high banks Dirt slides can be dangerous Load from as low as possi ble for maximum efficiency Loader lift and break away capacity diminish as loading height is increased It s important to keep the bucket level when approaching a bank or pile this will help prevent gouging the work area 19 PEELING AND SCRAPING Use a slight bucket angle travel forward and hold the lift control forward to start the cut Make a short angle cut approximately 6 deep and break out cleanly With the
