Towing
Can transport 20 tons by towing. The
method is as follows:
 Link to this machine’s draught pin
securely.
 Be sure to have good performance in
the brake system.
 Lay the bucket in transporting position.
 Operating slowly when start and stop
the machine be careful to brake before
decelerating.
Notice: When braking, should brake for
the tow truck firstly, and break this
machine.
Efficient Loading/Unloading
V style Operation Method
As the following picture, wheel loader
faces the material pile, the truck stops
when the angle is 60 degrees from WL’s
driving direction and 12~15 meters away
the pile. After WL loads full material, go
directly back 12~15 meters away mass,
turn around and drive to truck while lifting
the bucket. After unloading, turn back to
previous place, and do next operation.
Right Angle Loading
WL is faced to material mass, after
shoveling material, drive along linear
direction. And drive the dump truck
between WL and material mass. This
method needs little time and shortens the
work cycle time effectively.
Operation in cold weather
If temperature is too low, the engine will be
difficult to start, and the radiator may be
frozen, so you should do the following:
 All components should use low
viscous fuel, hydraulic oil, lubricating oil;
Antifreeze should be put into the cooling
water. Specifications of the fuel should
follow the “fluid specifications” of the
Operation and Maintenance Manual.
 Notes of using antifreeze: do not mix
the different type antifreeze together.
Attention:
Keep antifreeze away from fire,
no smoking when adding the antifreeze.
 Notes of using the battery. When
outside temperature descends, the
capacity of the storage battery will be
reduced. If there is a low charge rate, the
electrolyte may freeze, you should keep
the charge rate near 100% as often as
possible, and keep it warm as often as
possible so engine could be easily start the
next day. In extremely cold areas, you
should use an anti-cold storage battery.
After Daily Work
To ensure the machine easily starts avoid
silt, water and freezing snow. If these are
encountered you should do the following:
1. Thoroughly clean the silt, water and
snow. To avoid damaging the seal
performance because of silt, water and
snow leaking into the seals and freezing.
2. Stop the machine on a dry and solid
ground. If this is not possible, stop it on
boards. Using boards can prevent the
machine from being frozen to the ground.
