Digga Trenchers are designed for cutting narrow, straight trenches in the soil prior to laying electrical, telephone and cable lines, or water
and gas pipe. The DIGGA Trencher attaches to the tool bar/quick-attach mechanism of your Machine. Due to this arrangement, thorough
knowledge of the machinery controls is necessary for machine operation. Read and understand your machine operator’s manual for
information regarding machine operation before attempting to use the Trencher. When a Digga Trencher is purchased from Digga or a
DIGGA Dealer/Distributor the frame/attachment is matched for suitability and compatibility to the ow, pressures & load ratings of the original
machine it was purchased for. For tment of the Digga Trencher to other machines you must rst contact your DIGGA dealer and receive written
conrmation to ensure you do not incorrectly t the Cleana Angle Broom to a machine with higher, pressure or rated load capacities than
what the Digga Trencher was designed for. Warranty will be void if the Digga Trencher is tted to an alternative machine without rst
receiving written conrmation from your DIGGA dealer. Exceeding the recommended max ow, pressure, or rated load capacity of the
Digga Trencher as stated on the serial tag will void all warranty.
