Operation
Loading
• Loading in confined areas with a limited angle of rotation is more efficient
☞ by positioning the truck so as to ensure maximum visibility for the driver of the exca-
vator.
• Loading material on trucks is easier and faster if the hydraulic excavator is placed at
the rear end of the truck and not at the sides.
Grading
• Use the stabilizer blade to fill in trenches and to grade surfaces.
Important!
Work on level ground. Grade with the stabilizer blade first in case of sloping
ground.
Excavating trenches sideways
• The machine can be used for excavating trenches sideways in confined areas
☞ by rotating the upper carriage and swivelling the main boom (combined position and
movement of both).
