USING THE WORK EQUIPMENT
3.13.5 DIGGING METHOD
1 - At the beginning of work, keep the bucket at the correct penetration angle.
2 - Once the desired digging depth has been reached, position the bucket with its back parallel to bottom of the
excavation and then start filling.
3 - During the collection phase, make the bucket and the arm move simultaneously; combined movements facili-
tate the filling of the bucket and therefore increase productivity.
4 - The removal depth must be correct and suitable for the type of ground; an excessive digging depth may cause
the locking of the movements due to the overloading of the engine and pump, and therefore slow down the
digging operations.
5 - To dump material on heaps, unload the bucket as soon as it gets near the dumping area; the inertia resulting
from the movement will ensure the compaction of the material with no need to use the bucket for this purpose,
which avoids impacts and vibrations that facilitate the wear of pins and bushings.
CORRECT
The bucket starts digging with a slight pe-
netration angle.
INCORRECT
If the penetration angle is too wide, the
bucket is thrusted downwards, slowing
down the digging work
