➥

Information!
Position B causes the bucket to penetrate into the ground. Work slows down,
and the engine and the hydraulic pump are subject to overload if this position
is used over a longer period of time!
Position C causes the bucket to be forced upward and not to be filled com-
pletely. This slows down work, too.
☞
Dig as follows:
•Penetrate into the ground with the bucket E
•Lower the stick and at the same time align bucket E until
•reaching the required digging depth and
•the flat side of the bucket is parallel to the ground (see bucket position)
☞
Pull bucket E parallel to the ground toward the excavator. At the same time, if possible:
•Move stick F toward the excavator
•Lower the boom
☞
With a sufficiently full bucket E:
•Keep on moving the stick toward the excavator and at the same time
•Tilt in stick F
