PICKING UP WINDROWS
1.
Introduction.
CAUTION
Bucket loading into scraper bowl may damage elevator. It may also result in excessive spillage.
a.
When working with other construction equipment, the scraper should NOT be used as a dump truck.
NOTE
A windrow is a row of excess material that must be removed. Typically, a dozer or motor grader creates
the windrow, pushes it off to the side, and leaves it, to be loaded into a dump truck by a wheel loader.

Then use scraper to pick up the windrow.
