Dozing; Stock Piling - Hitachi ZW 550-6 Operator's Manual

Dozing

IMPORTANT:
 Dozing or pushing with dumped bucket or
attachment may cause severe damage to linkages.
It may also cause engine over-heating and torque
converter over-heating.
 Never attempt to forcibly push piled material higher
than the bucket capacity. Premature wear of the
tires due to slipping and/or waste of fuel may result.
 Never apply great force to the cutting edge with the
cutting edge tilted forward more than 10°. Failure to
obey so may result in damage such as cracks to the
working tools. Keep bucket or attachment bottom
parallel to ground.
Dozing with a wheel loader means a working method
performed by a wheel loader using the wheel loader bucket
in place of a bulldozer blade. This operation method is
employed when reclaiming land or dumping material into a
hopper, that is below ground level.
Set the bucket bottom parallel with the ground surface and
move the wheel loader forward.

Stock Piling

WARNING: Do not pile material on soft ground.
Steering on soft ground may easily cause the machine
to tip over.
Take care not to scrape the ground with the counterweight
while working.
The machine may become unstable, possibly causing the
machine to turnover.
