Dumping and Spreading (Typical Examples)
WARNING
Shearing protection must be worn when working within 33 feet of the tractor-scraper.
1.
Dump and spread material at the highest practical
travel speed. Approach the fill in line with the dump
area.
3.
If material tends to stick in the bowl, operate the
elevator in reverse.
5.
When the bowl is empty raise it slowly to leave the
cut smooth. Raise it just high enough to clear obstacles.
2.
Lower the bowl to the desired spread height. At the
start of the dump area, open the floor and move the
ejector forward.
4.
While unloading, keep the machine moving, and
maintain high engine rpm.
6.
Close the floor and move the ejector to the rear.
