Operation
Avoid impact during operation to avoid damage to the excavator bucket and
machine components
☞Do not use the machine’s falling force for excavating, and do not use the bucket’s fall-
ing force as a hoe, hammer or pile-driver.
➥Working this way can greatly reduce the machine’s service life.
Avoid tipping the machine and then releasing the boom hydraulics to break up
material or compact the work surface
☞Do not use the machine’s falling force for excavating.
No thrusting the stabilizer blade
☞Do not thrust the stabilizer blade against rocks or blocks to avoid damage to the cylin-
ders and the blade itself.
Fully lowering the stabilizer blade
☞Fully lower the stabilizer blade when using it on the side opposite the excavation side.
Retracting attachments
☞Ensure that the bucket does not hit the stabilizer blade as you retract attachments for
traveling or transport.
Excavator work position
☞Place stabilizer blade A on the side you want to dig
