If it is necessary to operate the work equipment control levers while the machine is moving, carry out
this operation with the maximum care.

PERATIONS FOR WHICH IT IS NOT ALLOWED TO EXPLOIT
THE TURRET SWING
Do not use the turret swing force to compact soil or break earth
mounds or walls.
When swinging the turret, do not dig the bucket teeth into the
ground.
These operations will damage the work equipment.
q
OPERATIONS FOR WHICH IT IS NOT ALLOWED TO EX-
PLOIT THE TRAVEL FORCE OF THE MACHINE
Do not dig the bucket into the ground and do not use the travel
force to carry out digging operations. This may damage the ma-
chine or the work equipment.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS AT
THE END OF STROKE
When the hydraulic cylinders are activated, be careful so as not
to reach the end of stroke; always leave a small margin.
If working tools are used with the cylinder rods at the end of
stroke and are subject to shocks due to external forces, the hy-
draulic cylinders may get damaged, and injuries may be
caused. Avoid performing operations in which the hydraulic cyl-
inders are extended or retracted completely.
q
EXCAVATION ON HARD ROCKY GROUND
It is advisable to carry out excavations on hard rocky ground af-
ter breaking it up with some other means, in order to avoid dam-
aging the machine and to ensure a more economic use of the
same.
