Mechanical Troubleshooting

Symptom Problem Solution

Excessive Wear on Bucket Cutting Edge

Too much down pressure when scraping on concrete surface.

Replace cutting edge. Use FLOAT position.

Bucket Cutting Edge Bent Down

Edge has contacted a solid object while forward scraping with bucket dumped more than 15° below level.

Position bucket at a 0-15° below level to protect the cutting edge while forward scraping.

Lifting loads concentrated on bucket edge.

Distribute loads over wider area.

Bucket Cutting Edge Bent Up

Edge has contacted a solid object while scraping or leveling rearward with bucket dumped more than 40° below level.

Position bucket at 40° or less below level to protect the cutting edge while rearward leveling. Use FLOAT to reduce down pressure.
