Operating Procedures
Operations Possible with this
Machine
Excavating
1. Set the dozer blade on the side opposite
the side you want to dig on.
2. Use the arm and bucket and dig with
shallow, long strokes. The digging force
is strongest when the boom and arm angle
is 80 to 120°. Use this angle for effective
digging.
Digging Ditches
Mount a bucket suited for digging ditches and
set the crawlers parallel to the ditch to be
dug for greater efficiency.
When digging wide ditches, dig the sides first,
the center later.
