CAUTION
Hydraulic couplers, hydraulic lines/valves,
and hydraulic fluid may be hot. If you contact
hot components, you may be burned.
• Wear gloves when operating the hydraulic
couplers.
• Allow the machine to cool before touching
hydraulic components.
• Do not touch hydraulic fluid spills.
Filling a Trench
1.
Start the machine.
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.
Note:
For best results, start with the float rollers
centered in the float guide.
4.
Slowly move the traction unit forward to fill the
trench.
Note:
When you move too fast, the trench filler
stalls. If it stalls, raise it slightly, slowly drive
rearward, then resume moving forward.
5.
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.
Transport Position
When transporting the attachment, keep it as close
to the ground as possible, no more than 15 cm (6
inches) above the lowest position. Tilt it rearward.

inches) above the lowest
position
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
5).
•
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.
