Operation:

• Raise or lower boom to appropriate height and open grapple 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, close grapple and back away from pile.

• Travel in accordance with requirements set forth in Section 1 - General Safety

• Open grapple and tilt bucket down to dump load.

Equipment Damage Precautions

• Except for lifting or dumping a load, the boom must be fully retracted for all

bucket operations.

• 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 or machine structure.

• Do not attempt to load material which is hard or frozen. This could cause severe

damage to quick switch or machine structure.

• Do not use bucket for "back dragging." This could cause severe damage to quick

switch and retraction cables/chains.
