This section tells you how to use the auxiliary cement bin. This bin is used as an aid in loading cement. It holds
approximately 26 cu ft (.73 cu m) of cement
2-15. Loading Cement Using the Auxiliary Cement Bin.
WARNING
Before attaching the auxiliary bin to the bucket, verify that the front-end loader has a minimum
safe capacity of 4,000 lbs (1816 kg) in its fully extended position, and that the bucket can be raised
high enough and extend far enough over the left hand side of the mixer to reach above the quick
loading hopper. If the required clearance cannot be met and a larger front end loader is not
available, a pit must be dug for the mixer or a ramp built for the front-end loader. Negligence can
result in equipment damage and/or bodily injury.
WARNING
Inspect chains, chain binders, and shackles before use for proper location and damage (fig. 2-47).
If damage to parts affects their strength, notify organizational maintenance. Damaged parts may
result in equipment damage and/or bodily injury.
