how to use mini loader Reliable Construction Machinery Solutions | Logway Since 2003

Operating a mini loader safely and productively is a skill that combines understanding the machine's controls with practiced technique. The process begins with a thorough pre-operation inspection: check fluid levels (engine oil, coolant, hydraulic fluid), inspect the undercarriage (tires/tracks for damage and wear), look for hydraulic leaks, ensure all safety devices like seat belts and interlocks are functional, and clear the work area of obstacles. Before starting, familiarize yourself with the control pattern (e.g., ISO or SAE)—whether it's two-lever hand controls or joystick controls—and the location of the auxiliary hydraulic controls for attachments. Start the engine according to the manufacturer's procedure, typically with the parking brake engaged. Begin operation slowly, practicing steering and maneuvering in an open area. Remember that skid-steer machines turn by braking one side of the wheels/tracks, which can be abrupt. Always keep the load low during transport for stability, especially when turning or on slopes. When approaching a pile to load, drive straight in and use the lift arms smoothly to fill the bucket. When dumping, ensure the area is clear. Always be aware of your surroundings, particularly the rear-end swing of the machine. Shutdown involves parking on level ground, lowering the attachment fully, engaging the parking brake, and following the correct engine shutdown procedure. Shandong Logway Machinery designs its loaders with intuitive controls to aid the learning process. For comprehensive, hands-on operational training, we strongly recommend reviewing the operator's manual in detail and contacting our team or your local dealer for guidance on best practices and potentially formal training resources.
