The DIGGA Rock Bucket attaches to the tool bar/quick-attach mechanism of your Machine. Due to this arrangement, thorough
knowledge of the machinery controls is necessary for machine operation. Read and understand your machine operator’s manual for
information regarding machine operation before attempting to use the Rock Bucket. When a Rock Bucket is purchased from Digga or
a DIGGA Dealer/Distributor the frame/attachment is matched for suitability of the original machine it was purchased for. Warranty will be
void if the Rock Bucket is fitted to an alternative machine without first receiving written confirmation from your DIGGA dealer. Check the
work site and identify the extent of the work to be carried out and note any possible hazards or constraints. Underground cables, services
etc. Check with relevant government departments on the location of these before commencement of any work. Review the job at hand
and determine the Rock Bucket is appropriate for the intended conditions.
For example:
Do not use the bucket to carry people.
