DOZING: With bucket parallel to ground, remove as little dirt as possible from the top surface. Let dirt spill from partially dumped bucket to fill in low spots.

USING BOOM IN FLOAT POSITION: Place the boom in float position and bucket in return-to-dig position to prevent gouging the surface, as in cleaning concrete and snow removal. Also use float position to avoid mixing surface material with stockpile material.

DIGGING IN HARD, DENSE, OR TIGHTLY-PACKED MATERIAL: To break material loose, use a gentle up-and-down motion of the bucket.
