Further recommendations for digging
When planning and performing digging work, we recommend that you observe the following
points:
• Exits from pits must be outside the digging line and as level as possible
• Dig by removing adjacent strips if possible
• Ensure that you can drive forward when driving out of the digging area with a fully
loaded bucket
• Whenever possible, perform reverse machine travel when transporting a full bucket
down a steep slope
Loading vehicles
When loading vehicles, we recommend taking the following into account:
• If possible, the vehicle and the working direction of the bucket should form an angle of 45°
• Raise the full bucket to dump height only as you rotate toward the vehicle
• If possible tilt out with the wind behind you to keep the dust away from your eyes, air
filters and fans
Freeing the machine
If your machine gets stuck in the ground:
☞ Dump out the bucket until the blade is vertical above the ground
☞ Lower the boom all the way
☞ Slowly dump out the bucket
➥ The machine is pushed backward
☞ Reverse slowly
☞ Repeat this procedure until the tracks reach firm ground
☞ Reverse the machine away
