operators may make the machine wander back and forth before travelling in a straight line.
CAUTION: Do not rest your foot on the service brake pedal during tramming, unless braking is
required. Excessive use of the service brakes, even slight pressures, will reduce the
machine’s ability over time to stop effectively.
5. Shifting from one gear to another can be done at any time conditions permit. When shifting
down, apply slightly more pressure to the accelerator pedal.
6. Do not shift to a lower gear unless the machine is moving at a speed low enough to permit
this.
NOTE: Always shift one gear at a time.
7. Use the transmission to slow the machine down, finally stopping it with the brake pedal.
This will reduce wear and extend the life of brake components.

! WARNING!
Never move the gear shift lever into neutral while tramming, especially while travelling on
an incline. The brakes will automatically apply.
Tramming Up a Grade Without a Load
When tramming up a grade with an empty bucket, choose a gear that will allow you to travel at a
safe speed. When possible, avoid severe grades.
Tramming Down a Grade Without a Load
When descending down a grade with an empty bucket, choose a gear that allows you to drive
without any unnecessary braking.
Tramming Up a Grade With a Load
When carrying a load, travel up grades in second (2nd) gear. If engine performance and vehicle
speed decrease, shift the transmission to first (1st) gear. When possible, avoid severe grades.
Tramming Down a Grade With a Load
When descending down a grade with a load, select a gear which provides a controlled descent. As
you approach the downgrade, release the accelerator pedal to allow the machine to slow, and
choose a suitable gear.
CAUTION: Do not put the machine into motion when it has a load until the engine and torque
converter have warmed to normal operating temperatures. All gauges should be
displaying normal readings.
Braking
The machine can be brought to a full stop during tramming by pressing the brake pedal, located at
the operator’s feet.
NOTE: Refer to the Controls chapter for more information.
When pressed, the brake pedal operates the service brakes in each wheel end. The amount of
braking force is equal to how far down the brake pedal is pushed by the operator.
1. To bring the machine to a full stop immediately, press the brake pedal down fully.
2. To slow the speed of the machine, apply the necessary pressure to the brake.
CAUTION: Do not rest your foot on the service brake pedal during tramming, unless braking is
required. Over time, excessive use of the service brakes, even slight pressures, will
reduce the machine’s ability over time to stop effectively.

Work Cycle
! WARNING!
Always wear a seat belt, if equipped on the machine. If the machine is equipped with a
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).

Tramming the Machine
Important
! WARNING!
Tramming distance is limited by the length of the trailing cable. The machine is equipped
with a cable limit switch to shut down the motor when 9 wraps of cable remain on the reel.
As the motor shuts down, the park brake will automatically apply. When this happens,
release the clutch pedal. Press and hold the cable reel override button. Restart the motor,
then release the park brake. Select first gear and move the machine until 14 or 15 wraps of
cable are on the cable reel. At this point the cable warning light and cable reel caution lights
will go out. Release the cable reel override button and continue normal operations.
! WARNING!
Do not use the cable reel override button to increase tramming distance. To do so may cause
the cable to separate from the machine, resulting in possible electric shock to the operator
