OPERATIONS POSSIBLE WITH THIS
MACHINE
Excavating
1. Set the dozer blade on the side opposite
to the side you want to dig on.
2. Use the arm and bucket and dig with
shallow, long strokes. The maximum
digging force can be obtained when the
boom and arm angle is 80 to 120°. Use
this angle for effective digging.
Digging ditches
Install a bucket suited for digging ditches
and set the crawlers parallel to the ditch to
be dug for greater efficiency.
When digging wide ditches, dig the sides
first, and then dig the center.
