Operation
Refer to your traction unit Operator's Manual for more
information on installing and removing attachments
on your traction unit.
Important: Always use the traction unit to lift and
move the attachment.
Filling a Trench
1. Start the engine.
2. Pull the auxiliary hydraulics lever to the reference
bar to engage the trench filler.
3. Slowly lower the trench filler to the ground so that
the auger is just above the ground.
4. For best results, start with the float rollers centered
in the float guide.
5. Slowly move the traction unit forward to fill the
trench.
Note: If you move too fast, the trench filler
will stall. If it stalls, raise it slightly, slowly drive
rearward, then resume moving forward.
6. When finished, stop the trench filler by releasing the
auxiliary hydraulics lever.
Transporting the Attachment
on a Trailer
1. Place the attachment on a trailer or truck capable
of carrying it.
2. Securely tie the attachment to the trailer or truck
using tie straps appropriate for the weight of the
attachment and for highway use.
Operating Tips
• Clean the area of trash, branches, and rocks before
trench filling to prevent equipment damage.
• For best trench filling, center the unit over the
trench (Figure 4).
• Always begin trench filling with the slowest ground
speed possible. Increase the speed if conditions
permit.
• Always use full throttle (maximum engine speed)
when trench filling.
• Never transport the trench filler with the loader
arms raised.
• When trench filling, the auger should just clear the
original ground surface to obtain maximum soil
deposit into the trench.
• Periodically check to ensure that the rollers on the
trench filler float are operating properly.
• When finished, compact the material over the
trench to prepare it for grading.
