Operation
Grading
• Use the stabilizer blade to fill in trenches and to grade (even out) surfaces.
Work on level ground. Grade (even out) 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 swiveling the main boom (combined position and
movement of both).
Further recommendations for digging
When planning and performing digging work, we recommend that you observe the follow-
ing 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 travel forward when traveling out of the digging area with a fully
loaded bucket.
• Whenever possible, travel in reverse when transporting a full bucket down a steep slope.
Freeing the machine
If the machine gets stuck in the ground:
☞Dump out/rotate the bucket until the blade/teeth are 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
