prohibited operationS

• Do not operate on bedrock (hard or
soft).
• Do not slew while traveling. If you must
operate the hoe attachment while
traveling, operate at speeds slow
enough so you have complete control at
all times.
Do not perform demolition or leveling
using slew force
Do not demolish walls or level ground using
slew force. Also, do not dig the bucket teeth
into the ground during slewing. Doing so will
damage the hoe attachment.
Do not dig while traveling
Do not dig the bucket into the ground and
use the traveling force to dig.
Be gentle when using the hydraulic
cylinder
Do not extend the hydraulic cylinders to the
stroke ends. Operate them with leeway.
Do not support the machine body with the
hoe attachment when the body is lowering
with the arm cylinder fully extended. Doing
so concentrates the load on the arm cylinder
and could damage the arm cylinder.
