OPERATING PROCEDURES
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 tires parallel to the ditch to be
dug for greater efficiency.
When digging wide ditches, dig the sides
first, and then dig the center.
Loading
When loading dirt onto a truck bed, load
from the back of the truck, as it is easier and
able to load more load than doing it from the
front.
Also, use a small slewing angle for greater
efficiency.
Leveling
1. Bring the hoe attachment close to the
body.
2. Gradually remove the dirt from the side of
the mound.
3. Once the mound is low, remove the dirt
from the top. If the load becomes too
heavy for the machine body, adjust by
raising or lowering the dozer blade.
