Operating Backhoe (Super Long Front
Attachment)
This machine is designed exclusively for light excavation
work. Install the standard front attachment for general
excavation work.
Use appropriate bucket for the work.
(Refer to the "Bucket Types and Applications" in the
Specifications section.)
Pull the bucket toward the machine for main digging
force.
When soil sticks to the bucket, remove it by moving the
arm and/or bucket rapidly back and forth.
When working on solid ground, unstiffen the ground by
using standard front attachment, and then use super
front attachment for loading.
When trenching a straight line, position the tracks parallel
to the trench. After digging to the desired depth, move
the machine as required to continue the trench.
When operating the arm, avoid bottoming the cylinder to
prevent cylinder damage.
IMPORTANT:
When digging at an angle, avoid striking the tracks
with the bucket teeth.
When lowering the boom, avoid sudden stops that
may cause shock load damage to the machine.
When digging a deep excavation, avoid striking the
boom or bucket cylinder hoses against the ground.
