OPERATION
Do not Perform Operations Using the
Machine’s Dropping Force
Putting excessive strain on the machine will
shorten its service life. Use the hydraulic force
of the cylinders and always dig with shallow,
long strokes.
Digging Base Rock
For hard base rock, break the rock up into
small pieces with a breaker, etc., before
digging. This prevents damage to the
machine and is thus more economical in
the end.
Caution on Exposing the Dozer Blade to
Shocks
Hitting the dozer blade against rocks, etc.,
could damage the dozer blade or the blade
cylinder.
Caution on Folding the Hoe Attachment
Be careful not to hit the bucket or dozer blade
when folding the hoe attachment.
Support the Dozer Blade on Both Sides
When using the dozer blade as an outrigger,
do not support it on one side only.
