Hitachi EX 3600-6 Operator's Manual page 136

WARNING: When excavating with boom extended
to high levels, do not tilt bucket back, as materi-
als will spill on operator's cab. Dump bucket
slightly to prevent spilling.
IMPORTANT: • When digging with the upperstructure
at an angle to the undercarriage, avoid
striking the tracks with the bucket.
• Avoid further extension of the bucket
cylinder after the bucket comes into
contact with the stopper, as the arm
cylinder will be extended, moving the
bucket forward.
5. Do not use the weight of the base machine to pry
earth as illustrated.
Doing so will damage the base machine and may
cause personal injury.
6. Machine stability is greater when the load is posi-
tioned parallel with the tracks.
Machine stability is reduced when the load is swung
to the side and when operating the front attachment
perpendicular to the tracks.
Sudden stop of boom lowering movement is espe-
cially likely to cause tipping over.
When working on weak/soft surfaces or when loading
high-density materials, operate the machine at re-
duced bucket loads.
