FUNCTIONING
USE OF THE MACHINE AND RELATED CONTROLS
Loading operations
In locations where the angle of rotation is reduced, the
operational efficiency can be increased by placing the truck in
such a way that it is visible to the Operator.
Loading operations are easier and the loading capacity greater
if the excavator loads from the rear of the truck rather from than
the side.
Filling/levelling operations
Use the blade to refill after excavation or to level the ground
surface.
Side ditching work
The machine can be used for side ditching in confined spaces
by combining the turret swing and boom swing functions.
