Operation
Working with the drive force
☞ Do not allow the bucket to penetrate into the ground and do not excavate by using the
drive force of the machine.
➥ This can damage the machine or the work equipment.
Working with the falling force by lowering the bucket
☞ Do not use the machine’s falling force for excavating, and do not use the bucket’s fall-
ing force as a hoe, hammer or pile-driver.
➥ Working this way can greatly reduce the machine’s service life.
Working with the falling force by lowering the machine
☞ Do not use the machine’s falling force for excavating.
Retracting attachments
☞ Ensure that the bucket does not hit the stabilizer blade as you retract attachments for
driving or transport.
No thrusting the stabilizer blade
☞ Do not thrust the stabilizer blade against rocks or blocks to avoid damage to the cylin-
ders and the blade itself.
Fully lowering the stabilizer blade
☞ Fully lower the stabilizer blade when using it on the side opposite the excavation side.
