Working with the falling force by lowering the machine
• Never use the dead weight of the machine for work.
• Use only the hydraulic force of the hydraulic cylinders.
Fully lowering the stabilizer blade
• Apply the full weight of the machine over the entire width of the stabi-
lizer blade when using it for stabilization.
Protecting the stabilizer blade against shocks
• The stabilizer blade or stabilizer blade hydraulic cylinder can be
damaged when hitting it against rocks etc.
Working on slopes
• When performing deep excavations with the stabilizer blade at the
front, ensure that the boom hydraulic cylinder or attachment do not
touch the stabilizer blade.
• Position the stabilizer blade at the rear if possible.
