cause the brakes to be released.

!MCAUTION
When carrying out deep digging with the
superstructure swung to any position other than in
line with the undercarriage, it is possible that part of
the boom structure may contact the machine. Take
extra care when digging, to avoid damaging the
machine.

!MCAUTION
Do not excavate on hard or rocky ground with the
boom positioned diagonally across the undercarriage.
The resulting rocking motion could cause damage to
the track gearbox sprockets and tracks.

It is possible when excavating, to use either full machine
slew when discharging a loaded bucket, or if conditions
dictate, swinging the excavator end only to the required
dumping area.
1 To start the dig, reach out with the boom and dipper
and position the bucket.
Slowly close the bucket at the same time bring the
dipper in. Make sure the bucket stays at the same
angle to the ground while it travels. If necessary, at
the same time apply a downward pressure on the
boom, to increase the digging force on the bucket.
