Equipment Damage Precautions
• Drive into stockpile smoothly with boom fully retracted to load bucket. Loading
bucket with boom extended could damage boom or extension chains/cables. Do
not corner-load bucket.
• Distribute material evenly within the bucket. Bucket capacity charts are for evenly
distributed loads only.
• Do not use bucket as a lever to pry material. Excessive prying forces could
damage bucket.
• Do not use bucket for "back dragging". This could cause severe damage to quick
switch and retraction cables/chains.
Operation:
• Raise or lower boom to appropriate height for loading material from stockpile.
• Align telehandler with face of stockpile and drive slowly and smoothly into pile to
load bucket.
• Tilt bucket up far enough to retain load and back away from pile.
• Travel in accordance with requirements set forth in Section 1 - General Safety
Practices.
• Tilt bucket down to dump load.
