ATR 90 TRENCHER Block the jib against unwilling sinking. Loosen the fixing bolts on the slider and set the required depth in its longitudinal grooves. Afterwards, tighten the bolts properly (see fig.). In the required depth the slider should follow the terrain contour and be in touch with the ground over its total length (see fig.).

ATR 90 TRENCHER Avoid going with the carrier over contingent obstacles that could cause its damage. Avoid going or working on slopes with inclination exceeding the permissible limit of the carrier. Any transport to site or dislocation on site is allowed only with the chain drive off.
ATR 90 TRENCHER While working on slippery or muddy ground (not only icy) or on slopes, the carrier wheels may slip. In this case it is necessary to make continuous corrections for keeping the required trench line. If you heard any strange noise or vibrations or felt a strange smell while working, then turn off the engine and pull out the ignition key.
ATR 90 TRENCHER Check up the hydraulic hoses for wear. Replace them if necessary or every four years at least. To Change or to Tighten the Chain Check up regularly the link chain for wear and proper tightening. The chain too much taut or conversely too slack brings also its shorter service life.
