Trench (continued)
1. Select the trencher chain direction.
The digging chain will move.
Contact with moving digging teeth will cause death or serious injury. Stay at least
1.8 m (6 feet) away.
To help avoid injury:
• Allow 1 m (3 feet) between the digging teeth and an obstacle. The machine may
jerk when digging starts.
• Keep everyone at least 2 m (6 feet) from the machine, attachments, and their
range of movement.
• Ensure that the parking brake is engaged.
• Trench cave-in or material caught in the digging chain can result in contact
with the digging teeth.
2. Set the throttle to F
3. Slowly lower the digging boom to the desired trench depth.
4. Pull the ground drive controls to drive the machine in the reverse.
5. Set the speed.
• Do not make sharp turns. Lower the boom to its full depth when turning.
• If an object becomes lodged in the chain, stop the chain movement and raise the
boom slightly. Reverse the chain direction. If the object must be removed
manually, turn the engine off and engage the parking brake.
Note:
• Always start trenching with the ground drive speed set to L
• Always operate the trencher while driving in reverse.
