VERSION WITH STANDARD CONTROLS
DANGER
•
When it is necessary to move the machine or travel on roads, the offset device must be positioned cen-
trally with respect to the boom axis.
•
To carry out digging operations on vertical walls, the fulcrum pin (1) of the revolving support (2) must
be perfectly vertical; be very careful to the position of this component when digging near walls and
posts, wells and underground lines.
•
When digging near walls, take care not to weaken foundations and cause collapses.
•
When working beyond the outline of the machine, make sure that the ground on which the stabilizers
and wheels rest is solid and the area is sufficiently far from ridges, banks, coasts: remember that in
these conditions the specific pressure on the ground always increases.
Reduce the loads and work at low speed, in order to ensure the stability of the machine.
The offset device is an integral part of the boom (3) and makes it
possible to dig beyond the outline of the machine.
If the offset device is in neutral position, the boom can be used
as a normal boom; if it is necessary to dig beyond the machine’s
outline, it is necessary to shift the backhoe and operate the de-
vice in order to restore the parallelism between the arm (4) and
the machine axis.

EDGE OF
THE WHEEL
The operation of the cylinder (5) that causes the rotation of the
support (2) to which the arm (4) is mechanically constrained is
obtained by means of an additional distributor controlled through
a pedal (6) installed on the left side of the backhoe control lever
unit.
The movements of the levers described in “3.3.5.1 (pos. 15-16)
BACKHOE CONTROL LEVERS” remain unchanged.
The movements of the arm are controlled as follows:
1 - rotation to the right is obtained by pressing the pedal (6) with
the toe;
2 - rotation to the left is obtained by pressing the pedal (6) with
the heel.
