2 Usage precautions
71
• Be careful when pulling the equipment out.
When you retract the equipment for side movement and
transport, make sure that the bucket and blade do not co
-
me into contact.
• Support the blade on both sides.
When you use the blade as a support, press the blade
down on both sides.
• Pay attention to the blade during excavation.
When carrying out a deep excavation on the ground in
front of the blade, make sure that the blade does not co
-
me into contact with the boom cylinder. Place the blade
at the back if it is not in use.
• Do not lift loads without a suitable fastening de-
vice; it is strictly forbidden to wrap a sling around
your machine's accessory or suspend it to a bucket
tooth.
Do not hang a load without the kit's lifting
facilities.

2.3.2 Dangerous tasks
• Digging from the top is dangerous as there is a risk
of rock falls or landslides.
• Digging from the bottom is dangerous as this may
destabilise and tip over the machine.
• When excavating a hard rock, keep the machi-
ne's tracks flat on the ground.
Note
It is also recommended to break hard rock into
several pieces using other means to prevent
damage to the machine.
