5.4 Lateral adjustment of the work equipment
5.4.1 General
The work equipment can be slewed sideways on the
mounting plate.
This allows accurate and safe work close to walls, e.g.
house walls. Furthermore, the reach of the excavator
can be increased when working across the direction of
travel.
Note
Apply the widened support if necessary.
5.4.2 Loosening and positioning the slide
To do so, the excavator is slewed in the direction of or
against the direction of slewing to the end position and
the ball valve (7/5) is opened.
After the bucket has been lowered to the ground and
the dipperstick actuated, the slide with boom is drawn or
pushed to the desired position.
5.4.3 Clamping the slide
After positioning the slide, the ball valve must be closed
and the actuating lever for „Boom up“ for pressure
build-up in the clamping cylinders must be actuated.
Thus the slide is clamped and the excavator is ready for
operation.
Attention
It is important that the machine is positioned in
exact accordance with these guidelines. Take care
to ensure that the slide is clamped in the proper
manner.
Danger of accident
Note
When working, the ball valve must always be closed
and may only be opened for lateral adjustment.
