Dig - 62 XT1600 Operator’s Manual
Diggin g
CMW
Multiple Trenches
1. Position unit in a central location to the
intended digging paths.
2. Swing excavator and offset boom as needed
to align with first digging path.
3. Fill and dump buckets.
4. Reposition excavator and boom as need to
dig additional trenches.
5. When all trenches are finished, stow
excavator, pivot seat to face tool carrier end,
switch unit into tool carrier mode and drive
away from area.
IMPORTANT:
Unit lift capacity is limited by stability. Unit is most likely to tip when arms are horizontal. A load
picked up when arms are above or below horizontal can cause unit to tip when arms are moved to
the horizontal position.
When filling bucket from materials piled higher than unit, keep unit bucket about 2’ (610 mm) above
ground and work around pile instead of cutting deeply into one side.
Do not use impact force of excavator bucket to break materials. Unit damage and loss of stability
can occur.
Take care to avoid digging deeply under the tracks. Ground under the tracks can collapse and cause
unit to fall.
