OPERATING TIPS
OPERATING TIPS
• Avoid using badly worn teeth. When replacing teeth, maintain
original pattern. Use Ditch Witch replacement teeth.
• Operate engine at full throttle.
• Do not make sharp turns. Lower boom to full depth when
turning.
• While trenching, steering is best accomplished by feathering
one
track control at a time, rather than both together.
• If an object becomes lodged in chain, move digging chain
clutch to neutral and raise boom slightly. If object must be
removed manually, turn engine off.
• Before operating with rock chains, check bits for free rotation.
Tap bits lightly with a hammer and turn by hand. If bits are
stuck, remove and clean packed soil from bit block.
• Carbide bits are recommended for cutting abrasive material,
such as sandstone or frozen sands or gravels.
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
Chain
A variety of chains, teeth, and tooth patterns are available to
provide efficient digging at any jobsite. For more information,
contact your Ditch Witch dealer.
Trench Cleaner
Trench cleaners remove spoils from the trench floor. For more
information about the mechanical trench cleaner available for use
on the HT25, contact your Ditch Witch dealer.
