To help avoid injury:
• Ensure parking brake is set.

for trench cleaner to enter trench.
• Return ground drive control to neutral to stop forward movement.
• Raise boom slightly, then fully lower trench cleaner to lock it in place.
• Lower boom to desired trench depth.
NOTICE:
• Do not have trench cleaner in working position when starting a trench.
• Do not back up with trench cleaner in working position.

at low. Increase ground drive speed only as soil conditions permit.
IMPORTANT: Ground drive speed/direction can be controlled with foot pedal or hand lever.
When trenching, set ground drive speed with hand lever. Use foot pedal to temporarily adjust
speed if digging conditions change for a short distance.
Moving digging teeth will cause serious injury or death.
