How to run a Payloader. Cab controls & basics for the noob pt 3
What happens here
The instructor guides the operator (his wife) through the steps to start the Volvo L120H wheel loader. She then familiarizes herself with the controls, including the steering wheel and joystick levers for bucket and arm movements. She begins to drive the machine in an open area, practicing basic maneuvering. The instructor highlights the machine's "bucket level" feature which automatically keeps the bucket flat, reducing the need for constant manual adjustment. She performs multiple cycles of driving, scooping gravel from a pile, and then driving to another location to dump the material. The instructor praises her ability to fill the bucket in one scoop and avoid spinning the tires, indicating efficient operation for a beginner.
Goal: Start the machine and perform basic maneuvers, including scooping and dumping gravel, in a safe environment.
