LOADING LOW TRUCKS OR SPREADERS FROM A PILE

For faster loading, minimize angle of turn and
length of run between pile and spreader. Back
grade occasionally with a loaded bucket to keep
working surface free of ruts and holes. Also, hold lift
control forward so full weight of bucket is scraping
ground.

Do not roll bucket over and attempt to backgrade.
This type of use can cause severe overloading of
bucket cylinders when fully extended, possibly
causing bucket cylinder rods to become bent.
