for a sudden stop. Observe the instrument panel frequently.

6. Converter Oil Temperature Gauge


The converter oil temperature gauge indicates the temperature of the oil in the torque converter
and transmission.
NOTE: Normal temperature range is from 180° F (82.2° C) to 200° F (93.3° C). This may be
represented as a green zone on the gauge dial. Unsafe temperature range is from 225° F
(107.2° C) to 250° F (121.1° C). This may be represented by a red zone on the gauge dial.
If the converter oil temperature rises above 225° F (107.2° C), do the following.
1. Bring the machine to a controlled stop, then apply park brake.
2. Put the transmission in neutral and rev the engine to approximately half throttle (1000
RPM).
3. Observe the converter oil temperature gauge.
CAUTION: Shut down the engine if the temperature does not begin to fall within two minutes.
Corrective action must be taken.
4. Run the engine at half throttle until the gauge needle has fallen well into the green zone, or
the normal operating range of 180° F (82.2° C) to 200° F (93.3° C).
NOTE: An overheating torque converter can be caused by poor maintenance, such as a dirty
cooler, low oil level, or by poor operating habits, such as using too high or too low a gear
during loading or tramming. Ensure the fault is not poor operating habits.

ROPS/FOPS canopy, wear the seat belt and a hard hat. Be prepared for a sudden stop.

Loading
NOTE: Obtain maximum loading efficiency by adjusting the loading cycle to operating
conditions.
NOTE: If possible, work the outer edges of the muck pile first and then the centre. This will
prevent spreading of loose material in the loading area.
CAUTION: If the machine is equipped with an ejector plate, make sure that the ejector plate is fully
retracted before mucking.
1. Lower the lift arms on the stop blocks and tip the bucket to the desired digging angle.
2. Drive the machine in first (1st) gear, forward direction and full power, forcing the bucket
cutting lip into the muck pile. Alternate dump and roll back movements will assist in good
penetration.
CAUTION: Avoid spinning or lifting the wheels off the ground while loading the bucket. This will
accelerate tire wear and cause premature structural problems.
3. As the bucket achieves maximum penetration, gradually roll back the bucket to fill it
completely.
4. Shake any excess load off the bucket. This will assist in keeping roadways clean and
prevents spillage.
5. Select reverse direction and slowly withdraw from the muck pile. Keep the bucket low and
rolled back. Drive to the dumping area.
6. Always carry a loaded bucket as low as possible, to ensure good stability, and unobstructed
vision of the roadway.

Dumping
1. When approaching the dumping area, release the accelerator pedal and bring the machine to
a controlled stop with the service brakes. Shift the direction control lever to the neutral
position. The park/emergency brake system should apply automatically, after approximately
10 seconds.
2. Accelerate the engine to full speed.
3. Raise the bucket to the maximum height required to clear the object being loaded. Tip the
bucket to dump the load. If the machine is equipped with an eject plate, extend the plate o
push out the load.
CAUTION: Do not allow the bucket to contact the “back” (ceiling).

Greasing the Machine
The proper and regular application of grease to this machine and any other machine working in a
mining environment, is one of the most important aspects of preventative maintenance. If a
machine is not properly lubricated, the premature failure of vital bearings, bushings, and pins will
occur. This will further lead to poor performance of the machine and increased maintenance
costs.

Automatic Lubrication System


This machine is equipped with an automatic lubrication system that provides multi-purpose
grease to vital areas of the machine that can not be accessed easily by the operator. It consists of
a grease pump and three divider valves located in and around the central articulation area on the
opposite side of the operator’s compartment.
