Operation
Working alongside trenches
Improper or careless operation of the machine during work alongside trenches,
slopes, etc., carries an increased
Danger of falling!
☞ Secure trenches before beginning to work. Pay attention to ground condi-
tions, machine weight, etc.
☞ Always use stabilizer blade B for stabilization during excavation work.
Danger of damaging piston rod A of the boom cylinder when working
alongside trenches, slopes, etc. and operating the stabilizer blade and the
boom incorrectly.
☞ Always use stabilizer blade B for stabilization during excavation work.
☞ Ensure that stabilizer blade B never touches piston rod A.
☞ If you perform deep excavations with stabilizer blade B at the front, ensure
that piston rod A does not touch or rest on stabilizer blade B.
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 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.
