AVOID UNDERCUTTING
x
In order to retreat from the edge of an excavation if the
footing should collapse, always position the undercar-
riage perpendicular to the edge of the excavation with
the travel motors at the rear.
•
If the footing starts to collapse and if retreat is not
possible, do not panic. Often, the machine can be
secured by lowering the front attachment, in such
cases.
