CHAPTER 2

SAFETYThis safety alert symbol means Attention! Become alert! Your safety isinvolved! It stresses an attitude of “Heads Up for Safety” and can be

found throughout this Operator’s Manual and on the decals on the machine.

Before operating this machine, read and study the following safety information.For further reference on the safe operation of skid-steer loaders, Mustang Manu-caturing Company suggests that equipment owners obtain the Mustang “Skid-Steer Loader Safety” video, which is available through Mustang dealers. In addi-tion, be sure that everyone who operates or works with this machine, whetherfamily member or employee, is familiar with these safety precautions. It is essen-tial to have competent and careful operators, who are not physically or mentallyimpaired, and who are thoroughly trained in the safe operation of the machineand the handling of loads. It is recommended that the operator be capable ofobtaining a valid motor vehicle operator’s license.

The use of skid-steer loaders is subject to certain hazards that cannot be eliminatedby mechanical means, but only by exercising intelligence, care and common sense.Such hazards include, but are not limited to, hillside operation, overloading, insta-bility of the load, poor maintenance and using the equipment for a purpose forwhich it is not intended or designed.

Mustang Manufacturing Company ALWAYS considers the operator’s safetywhen designing its machinery, and guards exposed moving parts for the oper-ator’s protection. However, some areas cannot be guarded or shielded in order toassure proper operation. Furthermore, this Operator’s Manual and decals on themachine warn of additional hazards and they should be read and observedclosely.

Some photographs in this manual may show doors, guards and shields open orremoved for illustrative purposes only. Be sure that all doors, guards and shieldsare in their proper operating positions before starting the engine to operate theunit.

Different applications may require optional safety equipment, such as a back-upalarm, mirror, strobe light or an impact-resistant front door. Be sure you know thejob site hazards and equip your machine as needed.

“DANGER” indicates an imminently haz-ardous situation which, if not avoided, will

result in death or serious injury.

“WARNING” indicates a potentially hazardoussituation which, if not avoided, could result in

death or serious injury.

“CAUTION” indicates a potentially hazardoussituation which, if not avoided may result in

minor or moderate injury. May also alert against unsafe practices.

Mandatory Safety Shutdown Procedure

Before cleaning, adjusting, lubricating, servicing the unit, or leaving itunattended:

1. Move the drive control handle(s) to the neutral position.2. Lower the lift arm and attachment completely. If the lift arm must be left in

the raised position, BE SURE to properly engage the lift arm support device(page 20).

3. Move the throttle to the low idle position, shut off the engine and remove thekey.

4. Before exiting, move the lift/tilt control(s) to verify that the controls do notcause movement of the lift arm or attachment.

Safety Reminders

Before Starting� Do not modify the ROPS/FOPS unless instructed to do so in installation

instructions. Modifications such as welding, drilling or cutting can weakenthe structure and reduce the protection it provides. A damaged ROPS/FOPScannot be repaired – it must be replaced.

� To ensure safe operation, replace damaged or worn-out parts with genuineMustang service parts.

� Mustang skid-steer loaders are designed and intended to be used only withMustang attachments or approved referral attachments. Mustang Manufac-turing Company cannot be responsible for operator safety if the loader is usedwith a non-approved attachment.

� Remove all trash and debris from the machine each day, especially in theengine compartment, to minimize the risk of fire.

� Always face the loader and use the handholds and steps when getting on andoff the loader. Do not jump off the loader.

� Never use starting fluid (ether).

� Walk around the machine and warn all nearby personnel before starting themachine.

� Always perform a daily inspection of the machine before using it. Look fordamage, loose or missing parts, leaks, etc.

917179/CP0107 7

During Operation� Machine stability is affected by: the load being carried, the height of the load,

machine speed, abrupt control movements and driving over uneven terrain.DISREGARDING ANY OF THESE FACTORS CAN CAUSE THELOADER TO TIP, THROWING THE OPERATOR OUT OF THESEAT OR LOADER, RESULTING IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.Therefore: ALWAYS operate with the seatbelt fastened and the restraint barlowered. Do not exceed the machine’s Rated Operating Load. Carry the loadlow. Move the controls smoothly and gradually, and operate at speeds appro-priate for the conditions.

� When operating on inclines or ramps, always travel with the heavier end ofthe loader toward the top of the incline for additional stability.

� Do not raise or drop a loaded bucket or fork suddenly. Abrupt movementsunder load can cause serious instability.

� Never activate the float function with the bucket or attachment loaded orraised, because this will cause the arm to lower rapidly.

� Do not drive too close to an excavation or ditch; be sure that the surroundingground has adequate strength to support the weight of the loader and the load.

� Never carry riders. Do not allow others to ride on the machine or attachments,because they could fall or cause an accident.

� Always look to the rear before backing up the skid-steer loader.

� Operate the controls only from the operator’s seat.

� Always keep hands and feet inside the operator’s compartment while oper-ating the machine.

� New operators must operate the loader in an open area away from bystanders.Practice with the controls until the loader can be operated safely andefficiently.

� Always wear safety goggles, ear and head protection while operating themachine. Operator must wear protective clothing when appropriate.

� Exhaust fumes can kill. Do not operate this machine in an enclosed areaunless there is adequate ventilation.

� When you park the machine and before you leave the seat, check the restraintbar for proper operation. The restraint bar, when raised, deactivates the lift/tiltcontrols and auxiliary hydraulics, and applies the parking brake.

Maintenance� Never attempt to by-pass the keyswitch to start the engine. Use only the jump

starting procedure detailed in the Operation chapter of this manual.

� Never use your hands to search for hydraulic fluid leaks. Instead, use a pieceof paper or cardboard. Escaping fluid under pressure can be invisible and canpenetrate the skin and cause serious injury. If any fluid is injected into yourskin, see a doctor at once. Injected fluid must be surgically removed by adoctor or gangrene may result.

8 917179/CP0107

� Always wear safety glasses with side shields when striking metal againstmetal. In addition, it is recommended that a softer (chip-resistant) material beused to cushion the blow. Failure to heed could lead to serious injury to theeyes or other parts of the body.

� Do not smoke or have any spark-producing equipment in the area while fillingthe fuel tank or while working on the fuel or hydraulic systems.

Potential Hazards

A skid-steer loader operator must ALWAYS be conscious of the working environ-ment. Operator actions, environmental conditions and the job being done requirethe full attention of the operator so that safety precautions can be taken.

ALWAYS maintain a safe distance from electric power lines and avoid contactwith any electrically charged conductor or gas line. Accidental contact or rupturecan result in electrocution or an explosion. Contact the North American One-CallReferral System at: 1-888-258-0808 for the local “Digger's Hotline” number orthe proper local authorities for utility line locations BEFORE starting to dig!

Exposure to crystalline silica (found in sand, soil and rocks) has been associatedwith silicosis, a debilitating and often fatal lung disease. A Hazard Review(Pub. No. 2002-129) by the U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety andHealth (NIOSH) indicates a significant risk of chronic silicosis for workersexposed to inhaled crystalline silica over a working lifetime. NIOSH recom-mends an exposure limit of 0.05 mg/m3 as a time-weighted average for up to a10-hr workday during a 40-hr workweek. NIOSH also recommends substitutingless hazardous materials when feasible, using respiratory protection and regularmedical examinations for exposed workers.

Safety Decals

The skid-steer loader has decals that provide safety information and precautionsaround the loader. These decals must be kept legible. If missing or illegible, theymust be replaced promptly. Replacements can be obtained from your Mustangdealer. New equipment must have all decals specified by the manufactureraffixed in their proper locations.

New Decal ApplicationSurfaces must be free of dirt, dust, grease and foreign material before applyingthe decal. Remove the smaller portion of the decal backing paper and apply theexposed adhesive to the clean surface, maintaining proper position and align-ment. Peel the rest of the backing paper and apply hand pressure to smooth outthe decal surface. Refer to the following pages for proper decal locations. Textdecals begin on page 9; no-text decals begin on page 12.

CONTROLS AND SAFETY EQUIPMENTBecome familiar with and know how to use allsafety devices and controls on the skid-steer

loader before operating it. Know how to stop loader operation beforestarting it. This Mustang loader is designed and intended to be usedonly with a Mustang attachment or a Mustang-approved referralattachment or accessory. Mustang cannot be responsible for oper-ator safety if the loader is used with a non-approved attachment.

Guards and Shields

Whenever possible and without affecting loader operation, guards and shields areprovided to protect against potentially hazardous areas. In many places, safetydecals are also provided to warn of potential hazards and/or to display specialoperating procedures.

Read and thoroughly understand all safetydecals on the loader before operating it. Do not

operate the loader unless all factory-installed guards and shields areproperly secured in place.

Operator Restraint Bar

Lower the restraint bar after entering the operator’s compartment. The restraint baris securely anchored to the ROPS. The restraint bar switch is wired in series withthe seat switch forming an interlock for the lift arm, tilt, drive and starter circuits(refer to the Safety Interlock System topic on page 18 for more information).

Never defeat the operator restraint bar or seatswitch electrically or mechanically. Always

T-Bar Controls

The Mustang loader may be equippedwith the T-Bar control option. The leftT-Bar controls the drive and the rightT-Bar controls the lift/tilt.

Drive ControlsForward, reverse, speed and turningmaneuvers are controlled by movement ofthe left T-Bar. To go forward, push thecontrol forward; for reverse, pull the con-trol rearward. To turn right, twist the con-trol clockwise; to turn left, twist the con-trol counterclockwise. For gradual turns, twist the T-Bar slightly clockwise orcounterclockwise. For sharp turns, twist the control fully clockwise or counter-clockwise.

Moving the T-Bar farther from neutral increases the speed steadily to the max-imum travel speed. Tractive effort decreases as speed increases. For maximumtractive effort, move the T-Bar only slightly from the neutral position. The enginewill stall if the control is moved too far forward when loading the bucket.

Be sure the controls are in neutral beforestarting the engine. Operate the controls grad-

ually and smoothly. Excessive speed and quick control movementswithout regard for conditions and circumstances are hazardous andcould cause an accident.

Lift/Tilt ControlMoving the lift arm and tilting the attachment are accomplished by movement ofthe right T-Bar. To raise the lift arm, pull the control straight rearward; to lowerthe lift arm, push the control straight forward. To tilt the attachment downward,twist the control clockwise; to tilt the attachment up or back, twist the controlcounterclockwise.

Note: The speed of the lift/tilt motion is directly proportional to the amount ofT-Bar movement and engine speed.

To place the lift arm into the detent (“float”) position, push the right T-Bar all theway forward into the detent. This position allows the lowered lift arm to “float”while traveling over changing ground conditions.

Never push the lift/tilt T-Bar control into thefloat position with the attachment loaded or

raised, because this will cause the lift arm to lower rapidly.

Hand/Foot Controls

The Mustang loader may be equippedwith the hand/foot control option. Thehandles control the drive and the footpedals control the lift/tilt.

Drive ControlsForward, reverse, speed and turningmaneuvers are controlled by movement ofthe control handles. To go forward, pushboth handles forward; for reverse, pullboth handles rearward. For turning, moveone handle farther forward or rearwardthan the other handle. Turn direction isdetermined by which handle is moved thefarthest forward; to turn left, move theright handle farther forward than the left handle. For sharp turns, move the handlesin opposite directions.

Moving the handles farther from neutral increases the speed steadily to themaximum travel speed. Tractive effort decreases as speed increases. For maximumtractive effort, move the handles only slightly from the neutral position. The enginewill stall if the controls are moved too far forward when loading the bucket.

Be sure the controls are in neutral beforestarting the engine. Operate the controls grad-

ually and smoothly. Excessive speed and quick control movementswithout regard for conditions and circumstances are hazardous andcould cause an accident.

Lift/Tilt ControlsMoving the lift arm and tilting the attachment are accomplished by movement ofthe foot pedals. The left pedal raises and lowers the lift arm; the right pedal tiltsthe attachment. To raise the lift arm, use your heel to push down on the left pedal;to lower the lift arm, use your toes to push down on the left pedal. To tilt theattachment downward, use your toes to push down on the right pedal; to tilt theattachment up or back, use your heel to push down on the right pedal.

Note: The speed of the lift/tilt motion is directly proportional to the amount ofpedal movement and engine speed.

To place the lift arm in the detent (“float”) position, use your toes to push the leftpedal all the way down into the detent. This position allows the lowered lift armto “float” while traveling over changing ground conditions.

Never push the left pedal into the float positionwith the attachment loaded or raised, because

this will cause the lift arm to lower rapidly.

Before Starting the Engine

Before starting the engine and running the loader, refer to the Controls and SafetyEquipment chapter and familiarize yourself with the various operating controls,indicators and safety devices on the loader.

Starting the Engine

The following procedure is recommended for starting the engine:

1. Carefully step up onto the back of the bucket or attachment and grasp theROPS handholds to get into the operator’s compartment.

2. Fasten the seatbelt and lower the restraint bar.

3. Verify the following:� the lift/tilt, drive and auxiliary controls are in their neutral positions,� the brake is on.

4. Push the throttle forward to half speed.

Note: When the key is turned to the RUN position, an indicator will light on theinstrument panel and a buzzer will sound momentarily to remind you to checkthat your seatbelt is fastened.

5. Turn the keyswitch to the START position.

Important: Do not engage the starter for longer than 15 seconds at a time.Longer use can overheat and damage the starter. Allow the starter to cool for20 seconds between uses.

After the engine starts, allow a sufficient warm-up time before attempting tooperate the controls.

Important: If the warning lights do not go off, stop the engine and investigate thecause.

Cold Starting Procedure

Do not use starting fluid (ether) with preheatsystems. An explosion can result which can

cause engine damage, injury or death.

WARNING

WARNING

32 917179/CP0107

Push the PREHEAT button on the instrument panel for a maximum of 30 secondsto preheat the engine. If the temperature is below 32°F (0°C), try the following tomake starting the engine easier:

� Replace the engine oil with SAE 5W30.� Make sure the battery is fully charged.� Install a block heater on the engine.

Let the engine run for a minimum of five minutes to warm the engine andhydraulic fluid before operating the loader.

Stopping the Loader

The following procedure is the recommended sequence for stopping the loader:

1. Check that the drive control handle(s) is (are) in “neutral” position.

2. Lower the lift arm and rest the attachment on the ground.

3. Pull the throttle lever back to the low idle position (and/or take your foot offthe accelerator pedal for hands-only controlled machines).

4. Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position to shut off the engine.

5. Raise the restraint bar, unfasten the seatbelt and grasp the hand holds whileclimbing out of the operator’s compartment.

Note: The skid-steer loader is equipped with a spring-applied automatic parkingbrake. The parking brake is engaged when the operator lifts the restraint bar,leaves the operator’s seat, shuts off the engine or when the brake switch isapplied.

Parking the Loader

Park the loader on level ground away from traffic. If this is not possible, park theloader across the incline and block the tires to prevent movement.

Jump Starting the Engine

If the battery becomes discharged or does not have enough power to start theengine, use jumper cables and the following procedure to jump-start the loaderengine.

The ONLY safe method for jump starting witha discharged battery is for TWO PEOPLE to

perform the following procedure. The second person removes thejumper cables so that the operator does not have to leave theoperator’s compartment with the engine running. NEVER makejumper cable connections directly to the starter solenoid of eitherengine. DO NOT start the engine from any position other than onthe operator’s seat and then ONLY after being sure ALL controlsare in “neutral”.

WARNING

917179/CP0107 33

Closely follow the procedure, in order, to avoid personal injury. Inaddition, wear safety glasses to protect your eyes and avoidleaning over the batteries while jump-starting.

DO NOT jump-start the battery if it is frozen, because it may rupture or explode.

Note: BE SURE the jumper battery is a 12-volt D.C. battery.

1. Turn the keyswitches of both vehicles to OFF, be sure the vehicles are in“neutral” and NOT touching each other.

2. Connect the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive (+) battery terminal on thedisabled loader first. DO NOT allow the positive clamps to touch any metalother than the positive (+) battery terminals.

3. Connect the other end of the positive jumper cable to the jumper vehicle’s bat-tery positive (+) terminal.

4. Connect the negative (-) jumper cable to the jumper vehicle’s battery negative(-) terminal.

5. Make the final negative (-) jumper cable connection to the disabled loader’sengine block or loader frame (ground) – NOT to the disabled battery’s negativepost. If connected to the engine, keep the jumper clamp away from the battery,fuel lines and moving parts.

6. Start the loader. If it does not start at once, start the jumper vehicle engine toavoid excessive drain on the booster battery.

7. After the disabled loader is started and running smoothly, have the secondperson remove the jumper cables (negative (-) jumper cable first) from thejumper vehicle’s battery and then from the disabled loader while being sureNOT to short the two cables together.

Allow sufficient time for the skid-steer loader alternator to build-up a charge inthe battery before attempting to operate the loader or shut the engine off.

A self-actuating lock mecha-nism engages to lock the ROPS/FOPS in arolled-back position. To lower theROPS/FOPS, apply upward force on itwhile pulling the lock mechanism handletoward the front of the loader. Lower theROPS slowly onto the chassis, moving thecontrol handles out of the way. Reinstallthe anchor bolts, washers and locknuts.

Never operate the loader with the ROPS/FOPSremoved or locked back. Be sure the lock is

securely engaged when the ROPS/FOPS is tilted back. Properly sup-port the ROPS/FOPS when unlatching the lock mechanism and low-ering the ROPS/FOPS. Be sure to reinstall the anchor bolts, washersand locknuts before resuming loader operation.

Loader Raising Procedure

To raise the skid-steer loader so all four tires are off the ground, use the procedurebelow:

Do not rely on a jack or hoist to maintain the“raised” position without additional blocking

and supports. Serious personal injury could result from improperlyraising or blocking the skid-steer loader.

1. Using a jack or hoist capable of lifting the fully-equipped weight of the loader(with all attached options), lift the rear of the loader until the rear tires are offthe ground.

2. Stack wooden blocks under the flat part of the loader chassis. They should runparallel with, but not touch, the rear tires (Figure 25).

3. Slowly lower the loader until its weight rests on the blocks. If the tires stilltouch the ground, raise the loader again, add more blocks and lower again.

4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for the front end. When the procedure is finished, allfour tires will be off the ground so they can be removed.

Loader Lowering Procedure

When service or adjustment procedures are complete, the skid-steer loader can betaken down from the “raised” position. To lower the loader onto its tires:

Cooling Systems

Important: Check the cooling system every day to prevent overheating, loss ofperformance or engine damage.

Checking Coolant Level1. Open the rear door. Check the coolant

level in the coolant recovery tank onthe inside of the rear door. The coolantrecovery tank must be 1/3 to 1/2 fullwith a cold engine and 2/3 to 3/4 fullwith a hot engine.

2. Allow the coolant to cool. Do notremove the cap when the coolant ishot. Serious burns may occur.

3. Add premixed coolant, 50% water and50% ethylene glycol, to the recoverytank if the coolant level is low.

Cleaning Cooling System1. Park the loader on a level surface,

lower the lift arm and stop the engine.Allow the engine to cool.

2. Open the rear door. Lift the engine cover.

3. Clean the radiator and oil cooler by blowing through the fins with high pres-sure water or air.

WARNING

52 917179/CP0107

Note: Protect the cooling system by adding premixed 50% water and 50% ethy-lene glycol to the system. This mixture will protect the cooling system to -34°F(-36°C).

5. Fill the radiator fully and the recoverytank half full with the premixedcoolant.

6. Reinstall the radiator cap.

7. Run the engine until it is at operatingtemperature. Stop the engine and let itcool. Check the coolant level. Addmore coolant if required.

Chaincases

The chaincase contains the drivesprockets and drive chains. There are twoplugs in each chaincase. One is to drainthe fluid and the other is to check the fluidlevel. Refer to the Maintenance Schedulechapter (page 67) for change intervals.Refer to the Lubrication topic (page 44)for information on oil type and quantity.

Checking and Adding Oil1. Park the loader on a level surface.

Stop the engine.

2. Remove the check plug from eachchaincase housing. If the oil can be reached with the tip of your finger, the oillevel is adequate.

3. If the level is low, add fluid through the check plug until the oil level reachesthe edge of the hole. Reinstall the check plug.

Draining Oil1. Raise the rear of the machine to aid in draining the chaincases.

2. Remove the drain plug on each chaincase and drain the oil into a suitablecontainer.

3. Reinstall and tighten the drain plugs.

4. Refill the chaincases at the check plugs.

917179/CP0107 53

Bucket Cutting Edge

The bucket cutting edge should be replaced when it is worn to within 1 in. (25 mm)of the bucket body.

Wheel Nuts

Wheel nut torque must be checked before initial operation and every two hoursthereafter until the wheel mounting hardware torque stabilizes at therecommended setting of 120-130 ft-lbs (161-175 N·m). When tires are removedand replaced, this procedure must be repeated.

Tires

Rear tires usually wear faster than the front ones. To keep tire wear even, rotatethe tires from front to rear and rear to front.

It is important to keep the same size tire on each side of the loader to preventexcessive wear on tires or other damage. If different sizes are used, each tire willbe turning at different speeds, causing excessive wear.

The tread bar of all tires must face the same direction.

Mounting Tires

Inflating or servicing tires can be dangerous.When possible, trained personnel should

service and mount tires. To avoid possible death or serious injury,follow the safety precautions below.

1. Be sure the rim is clean and free of rust.

2. Lubricate the tire beads and rim flanges with a soap solution. Do not use oilor grease.

3. Use a clip-on tire chuck with remote hose and gauge, allowing you to standclear while inflating the tire. Do not place your fingers on the tire bead or rimduring inflation.

4. Never inflate beyond 35 psi (240 kPa) to seat the beads. If the beads have notseated by the time the pressure reaches 35 psi (240 kPa), deflate the assembly,reposition the tire on the rim, lubricate both parts and re-inflate. Inflationpressure beyond 35 psi (240 kPa) with unseated beads may break the bead orrim with explosive force sufficient to cause death or serious injury.

5. After seating the beads, adjust the inflation pressure to the recommendedoperating pressure.

6. Do not weld, braze or otherwise attempt to repair and use a damaged rim.

WARNING

54 917179/CP0107

Checking Tire Pressure

Correct tire pressure should be maintained for all tires to enhance operatingstability and extend tire life. Refer to the above chart for the proper inflationpressure.

When installing tires, be sure they are the same size and style on each side of theloader. Always replace tires with the same size as the original equipment.

Electrical System

Circuit BreakersThe circuit breakers for the loader are located on the right instrument panel.There is also a 35-amp main circuit breaker located on the right side of the enginecompartment, directly behind the ROPS/FOPS.

Battery

Before servicing the battery or electricalsystem, be sure the battery disconnect switch

(if equipped) is in the “OFF” position. If not equipped with a discon-nect switch, disconnect the ground (-) terminal from battery.

The battery on the loader is a 12-volt, wet-cell battery. To access the battery, openthe rear door and lift the engine cover.

The battery top must be kept clean. Clean it with an alkaline solution (ammoniaor baking soda and water). After foaming has stopped, flush the battery top withclean water. If the terminals and cable connection clamps are corroded or have abuild-up, disconnect the cables and clean the terminals and clamps with the samealkaline solution.

Explosive gas is produced while a battery is inuse or being charged. Keep flames or sparks

away from the battery area. ALWAYS charge the battery in a well-ventilated area.

Never lay a metal object on top of a battery, because a short circuitcan result.

Battery acid is harmful on contact with skin or fabrics. If acid spills,follow these first-aid tips:

1. Immediately remove any clothing on which acid spills.2. If acid contacts the skin, rinse the affected area with running

water for 10 to 15 minutes.3. If acid contacts the eyes, flood the eyes with running water for 10

to 15 minutes. See a doctor at once. Never use any medication oreye drops unless prescribed by the doctor.

4. To neutralize acid spilled on the floor, use one of the followingmixtures:a. 1 pound (0.5 kg) of baking soda in 1 gallon (4 L) of waterb. 1 pint (0.5 L) of household ammonia in 1 gallon (4 L) of water

Whenever the battery is removed, be sure to disconnect the nega-tive (-) battery terminal connection first.

Bucket Selections

To use the table, find the material name and see what its maximum density is.Then, multiply the loader rating of the attachment by the material density todetermine if the attachment can safely be used. See page 75 for a listing of attach-ments and their loader ratings.

Note: Where the material density is listed as a range (snow at 15-50 lbs./ft3, forexample), always use the maximum density (50 lbs./ft3 in this example) formaking calculations. Also, see the following examples.

Example 1: If snow (density of 15-50 lbs./ft3) is to be hauled using a 2026 modelloader using Dirt/Construction Bucket, the bucket capacity is 10.5 ft3 and theloader rating is 1050 lbs. Multiply the density of snow (50 lbs./ft3) by the capacityof the bucket (10.5 ft3) to achieve the weight being carried (50 lbs./ft3 x 10.5 ft3 =525 lbs.). This number is less than the machine rating, so you could safely usethis bucket in this application.

Example 2: If potash (density of 1088 kg/m3) is to be hauled using a 2026 modelloader using a 0.3 m3 Dirt/Construction bucket, the bucket capacity is 0.3 m3 andthe loader rating is 612 kg. Multiply the density of potash (1088 kg/m3) by thecapacity of the bucket (0.3 m3) to achieve the weight to be carried (1088 kg/m3 x0.3 m3 = 326.4 kg). This number is less than the machine rating, allowing safeuse of this bucket in this application.
