OPERATING TIPS
Do not hit the track with the bucket when digging.
Whenever possible, position your machine on a level sur-
face.
Do not use the bucket as a hammer or pile driver. Do not
attempt to shift rocks and break walls using swing motion.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging cylinders, do not
strike the ground with the bucket nor use
the bucket for tamping with the bucket
cylinder fully extended (the bucket com-
pletely curled under).
Adjust the length and depth of each cut to produce a full
bucket with every pass.
Full loads on every pass is more productive than a faster
cycle with a partially filled bucket.
Full load should be the first objective, followed by speed, to
increase productivity.
IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to break ledge rock by
extending the arm to maximum reach
and dropping the front of the bucket on
the bucket teeth for penetration. Serious
damage to the machine can result.
Once the trench is open, ledge rock can be broken by pull-
ing the bucket up under the layers. The top layers are
pulled out first, with one or two layers being lifted at a time.
AVOID SWINGING BUCKET TO MOVE OB-
JECTS
Do not use the bucket for shifting rocks, breaking walls,
and etc. using the swing motion.
These uses will damage the front attachment.
