13. Operating Instructions
2-48
Do not use the implement's swing force
Do not level the ground or break down a wall by the use of
swing force, and do not dig the bucket teeth into the
ground while swinging. Doing these may cause the imple-
ment to be damaged.
Do not use the implement's travel force
Do not excavate the ground by the use of travel force with
the bucket teeth in contact with the ground. Doing this may
cause excessive force to be imposed on the rear of the ma-
chine, shortening the machine life.
Take care not to operate the hydraulic cylinder to
the stroke end.
Operating the hydraulic cylinder to the stroke end may im-
pose an undue force on the stopper in the hydraulic cylin-
der, shortening the implement life. Operate with a small
safety margin.
Do not operate the implement by the using the
dropping force of the bucket
Do not excavate the ground by using the dropping force of
the bucket as a pickaxe or pile driver. Doing this may cause
excessive force to be imposed on the rear of the machine,
shortening the machine life and possibly causing a serious
accident.
13-9. Precautions for operating the implement
• Do not operate the implement control levers
while traveling. Stop traveling first and then op-
erate the implement.
• Do not operate the implement on a rocky surface
(on hard and soft rocks).
