WARNING
Steep Slope
Parking the machine on a slope can cause the machine to move, causing damage to
equipment and serious personal injury or death to people.
u If possible, park the machine on level ground.
u Only park the machine on a slope if there is an emergency that prevents the operator
from parking the machine on level ground.
u Turn the machine away from traffic, surrounding personnel, and equipment.
u Prevent the machine from moving down the slope. The machine is preferably to be
parked against a wall or similar.
u Maintain a safe distance to parked or unmaneuvered machines on slopes.
In an emergency like a fire or a brake malfunction on a slope, the conditions prevent the
operator from parking on level ground. However, the operator must make sure that the ma-
chine is not a hazard to the operator, surrounding personnel, and equipment.
Precondition p There is an emergency situation that prevents the operator from parking the machine on
level ground.
1. Turn the machine away from traffic, surrounding personnel, and equipment.
2. Prevent the machine from moving. For example, if a mining wall is available, turn
the machine against the mining wall.
4. Leave the machine and secure the area around the machine according to local reg-
ulations.
NOTE: Wheel chocks cannot hold the machine on their own. Wheel chocks are not to
! be used as a substitute to brakes.
! NOTE: Wheel chocks are only intended to be used on level ground, not on slopes.
NOTE: Wheel chocks only fulfill their purpose if the wheels of the machine are in con-
! tact with the ground and the wheel chocks are installed correctly. The position of the
machine is therefore crucial for the use of wheel chocks.
NOTE: The wheel chocks are properly placed snugly and firmly against the center of
! the tire tread. Improper placement of the wheel chocks decreases wheel chock effec-
tiveness.
Precondition p The wheel chocks are available and securely attached to the machine with the locking
device.
p The wheel chocks are clean, free of excessive wear, and not worn out.
p The wheels of the machine are in contact with the ground.
p The functionality of the brakes is verified.
p The parking brake is applied.
1. Remove the locking device to unlock the wheel chocks from their stored position.
a. If the ground is level or the slope cannot be determined, remove the wheel
chocks from their stored position on the machine and chock one of the front
wheels from both sides.
Level ground with no slope: Chock one of the front wheels on both sides of the
wheel
b. If the ground is slightly uneven, remove the wheel chocks from their stored posi-
tion on the machine and chock the two parallel wheels at the lowest altitude
level depending on the travel direction.
Incline with light uphill slope: Chock the rear wheels as shown
Decline with light downhill slope: Chock the front wheels as shown
2. Put the wheel chocks in their stored position on the machine and securely attach
the locking device.
4.4 Loading
¡ Remove rocks and debris on the loading area before proceeding to load the bucket.
Precondition p Move towards the pile in low gear with the bucket just touching the surface.
¡ Lower the boom completely and lower the bucket blade to the ground.
NOTE: Forward motion slows down when the bucket penetrates the pile. Accelerate to
! increase the loading volume.
¡ Operate the machine in a straight line. If front and rear wheels are not in line, the
machine can swing around.
¡ Operate the bucket in such a way that it hits the pile at the center. If the pile hits the
edge of the bucket, the force is out of center and wheels spin. It can also lead to
machine breakdown.
1. Fold the bucket up fully when it is loaded and shake off loose material to prevent
material from falling out when moving the machine.
3. Carry the loaded bucket back and the boom lowered onto the stops.
4. If the loader is equipped with ride control, activate ride control with the switch on
the dashboard and lift the boom 5–10 cm (2–4 in) from the mechanical stops.
NOTE: Tilt the bucket forward slightly and then back rapidly to
! shake down the load to prevent material falling from the bucket
when tramming.
• Do not lift the front wheels off the ground and pull ore under the wheels when back
scrapping.
When the machine comes down, it can cause damage to the undercarriage and the differ-
ential.
• Do not put so much down-pressure as to lift the front wheels off the ground.
Tipping the bucket too far forward causes an increase in down-pressure.
• The digging power is greatly reduced when the machine is driven only on two rear
wheels.
! NOTE: Do not overload the bucket and lift the rear wheels.
• Do not over-apply bucket force that raises the rear machine off the ground.
Back up a short distance and tip the bucket forward if the rear of the machine raises.
• Continue to penetrate into the pile until the forward movement is stopped completely.
Reduce the throttle application to prevent wheel spin in this position.
Wheel Spinning
• With the proper use of the bucket controls and the throttle pedal, all four wheels have
traction.
By operating the bucket joystick back and forth, the operator can make a prying action with
the bucket.
• Wheelspin can be avoided by accelerating only enough to keep the wheels pushing
the machine into the muck pile.
• Raise the boom slightly to apply more weight on the front axle until the front wheels
have regained their grip, in the event of the wheelspin. Then continue to penetrate the
muck pile further.
• The operator must ease up on the throttle output if the wheels spin.
NOTE: For the life time of the dump cylinder, raise the boom to highest position and tilt
! the bucket fully to the stops. Otherwise the vibration and dump force is wrongfully
transmitted to the dump cylinder instead of the boom frame.
1. Reduce the machine speed when dump location is almost within the reach.
2. Stop the machine at the dump location and stop the movement of the machine.
4. Dump the bucket contents to the dump location by tilting the bucket fully forward
until it hits the bucket stops.
The Ground Engagement Tools (GET) bucket is a modularized kit that is assembled with
the standard bucket. It consists of cast shrouds (A) that are attached to the bucket with
bolts and lock nuts. The shrouds (A) cover the part of the bucket that is most exposed to
high wear.
The indicator (A) on the bucket helps to identify the horizontal position for the bucket’s lip.
¡ Press and hold the bucket float button (A) on the right hand joystick.
è Bucket float function is activated.
¡ Press the Eject-O-Dump button (A) while moving the dump control joystick (B) for-
ward.
è The Eject-O-Dump system has been activated and the push plates dumps the
load.
1. Turn the knob to the right on the control panel to activate ride control.
è Ride control symbol on the display illuminates and ride control is acti-
vated.

NOTICE
Property Damage
u Failure to promptly add oil when indicated may result in serious engine damage due to
piston and bearing seizure.
Allow the engine to drain oil from internal parts for 20 minutes.
NOTE: Fill the oil in the engine oil fill point (B) only when the level is below the add
! mark on the dipstick (A). A common cause of engine oil consumption in engine is that
too much oil is filled.
