Avoid impact during operation to avoid damage to the excavator bucket and
machine components
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.
Avoid tipping the machine and then releasing the boom hydraulics to break up
material or compact the work surface
Do not use the machine's falling force for excavating.
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.
Retracting attachments
Ensure that the bucket does not hit the stabilizer blade as you retract attachments for
traveling or transport.
Place stabilizer blade A on the side you want to dig
