• Excavating trenches is more efficient
☞
by using a suitable bucket for this work and positioning the tracks parallel to the limit
line of the trench.
☞
In case of large trenches, first excavate the side sections and then the center section.
• Loading in confined areas with a limited angle of rotation is more efficient
☞
by positioning the truck so as to ensure maximum visibility for the driver of the exca-
vator.
• Loading material on trucks is easier and faster
☞
if the hydraulic excavator is placed at the rear end of the truck and not at the sides.
• Use the stabilizer blade to fill in trenches and to grade surfaces.
Information!
Work on level ground. Grade with the stabilizer blade first in case of sloping
ground
• The machine can be used for excavating trenches sideways in confined areas
☞
by rotating the upper carriage and swiveling the main boom (combined position and
movement of both).
