Operating Procedures
Operations Possible with this
Machine
Excavating
80 ~120
1. Set the dozer blade on the side opposite
the side you want to dig on.
2. Use the arm and bucket and dig with
shallow, long strokes. The digging force
is strongest when the boom and arm angle
is 80 to 120°. Use this angle for effective
digging.
Digging Ditches
Mount a bucket suited for digging ditches and
set the crawlers parallel to the ditch to be
dug for greater efficiency.
When digging wide ditches, dig the sides first,
the center later.
Digging Side Ditches
Use the boom swing function to dig side
ditches as shown in the diagram.

Loading
When loading dirt in a truck, starting from
the back of the truck's bed makes for easier
loading and increases the amount of dirt that
can be loaded.
Also, use a small slewing angle for greater
efficiency.
