Bucket Operation

You can draw the jaws together to use this attachment
as a standard bucket. You can also open the 4-in-1
bucket jaws to dump the contents into a higher area
than a standard bucket can reach.
When loading material, always have the bucket level
to the ground and move forward into the material to
be lifted. When the bucket is full, tilt it rearward to
decrease the lifting resistance when you lift the load.
When transporting a load, keep the bucket as close
to the ground as possible.

Blade Operation

With the jaws completely open, you can use the back
of the bucket as a blade to push material. You can
also partially close the jaws and using the bottom of
the front bucket to knock the top of clumps and grade
with the rear blade.
When scraping, levelling and surface stripping, lower
the blade to the ground, ensuring that the cutting edge
makes contact. The blade will bite into the soil as you
move forward.

Leveller Operation

With the jaws fully open and the bucket tipped slightly
forward so that the back cutting edge of the floor is on
the ground, and the front edge is off the ground. The
angle of the back cutting edge you can use the bucket
as a leveller by moving the cutting edge back across
the surface of the ground.

Grapple Bucket Operation

The side jaws can also be used for picking up material
by closing them over objects or materials to be
transported (Figure 32).
Note:
Take care when using this method that you
don't crush an object that you are picking up between
the side jaws.

Important:
Do not use the floor to pick or pull
objects. This will cause damage to the floor /
bucket and will void the bucket warranty
