Further practical hints 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 drive forward when driving out of the digging area with a fully
loaded bucket.
• Whenever possible, drive in reverse 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 to be loaded.
• If possible dump with the wind behind you to keep the dust away from your eyes, air
filters and fans.
Freeing the machine
☞ 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.
3.67 Grading
Careful when grading –
Risk of accidents.
☞ Ensure that no-one is in the risk zone when working with the stabilizer
blade.
Grading
☞ Lower the stabilizer blade to the ground
– see chapter 3.17 Stabilizer blade operation on page 3-28.
☞ Set the depth of the layer you want to remove with the stabilizer-blade lever.
➥ The machine must not be raised by lowering the stabilizer blade.
➥ The clearance between the stabilizer blade and the ground should be about 1 cm
(0.39").
