Operation
Bucket position when digging
☞ Move the bucket as shown in A.
➥ Move the flat side of the bucket parallel to the ground.
Position B causes the bucket to penetrate into the ground. Work slows down, and
the engine and the hydraulic pump are subject to overload if this position is used
over a longer period of time.
Position C causes the bucket to be forced upward and not to be filled completely.
This slows down work, too.
☞ Penetrate into the ground with the bucket D.
☞ Lower the stick and at the same time align the bucket until
☞ reaching the required digging depth and
☞ the flat side of the bucket is parallel to the ground (see bucket position).
☞ Pull bucket E parallel to the ground toward the machine. At the same time, if possible:
• Move the stick toward the machine.
• Lower the boom.
☞ With a sufficiently full bucket E:
• Keep on moving the stick toward the machine and at the same time
• Tilt in the stick.
Excavating trenches
• Excavating trenches is more efficient
☞ by using a suitable bucket for this work and positioning the tracks parallel to the limit
line of the trench.
☞ In case of large trenches, first excavate the side sections and then the centre section.
