OPERATING THE MACHINE
5-35
PLANING
Planing operations are required for levelling the ground. For this
purpose, a straight bucket without claws is suitable. Planing in-
cludes two operation steps - filling up and taking off ground.
FILLING UP
It may be necessary to fill up the uneven ground in front of the
machine with soil. Proceed as follows:
☞
• For fill-up operations, lower the bucket max. by 15° to the
front.
Fill the bucket with soil. Drive slowly forward with the machine
and distribute the soil little by little from the bucket. If you must fill
up particularly large uneven surfaces, you should place addition-
al soil in front of the bucket, which will be distributed when the
machine is driving forward.
TAKING OFF SOIL
If the surface is filled up, you may level the ground.
• Danger of accidents! Careless reverse driving may lead to
severe accidents!
Before you drive backwards, make sure that nobody is be-
hind the machine. Warn persons who are in your way by
sounding the horn.
Lower the bucket slightly. Drive backwards and draw the bucket
over the ground.
In order to receive a particularly even surface, you must lower
the boom to its floating position. Drive slowly backwards and
draw the bucket with its plane underside over the ground.
