Overview
The XT1600 can perform a variety of different kinds of work in excavator mode. All basic excavator work
involves filling and dumping the bucket.
Filling Bucket
Use right and left joysticks to control excavator dipper,
boom, and bucket.
1. Keep dipper and boom at right angles as much as
possible for maximum power.
2. Keep bucket in line with dipper as much as
possible.
3. Position bucket so teeth cut soil. As soil is cut, curl bucket under dipper.
4. Move dipper and bucket together. Increasing engine speed will increase excavator speed but not
excavator force.
5. When job is finished, stow excavator, pivot seat to face tool carrier end, switch unit into tool carrier
mode and drive away from area.
IMPORTANT: This chapter covers how to use the excavator. For information on how to use front-
mounted attachments, refer to controls chapter and attachment operator’s manual.

NOTICE: Cutting, drilling, or working materials such
as concrete, sand, or rock containing quartz may
result in exposure to silica dust. Use water spray or
other means to control dust. If workers are exposed
to dust they must wear appropriate breathing
protection. Silica dust may cause lung disease and is
known to the State of California to cause cancer.
