Illustration 1	g00101764

Carry a loaded bucket low so that the operator has good visibility and so that the machine has good stability.

Clean the work area during waiting periods and level the work area during waiting periods.

Maintain traction by avoiding excessive downward pressure on the bucket.

Travel in reverse when you carry a load down a steep incline. Travel forward when you go uphill.

When you are working in hard material, use bucket teeth or bolt-on cutting edges.

Make sure that the bucket that is being used is appropriate for the work that is being performed. Exceeding the machine limits will reduce the service life of the machine.
