SKID HOE OPERATION
1.
Be sure the loader is on solid ground before digging or lifting any load.
2.
with the loader arms partially raised and the bucket cylinder partially extended, slowly curl the dipperstick toward the loader (using
the loader’s tilt control). The loader arms may need to be lowered or raised and/or the bucket cylinder extended to allow the bucket
to penetrate the soil.
3.
As the bucket fills, extend the bucket cylinder and extend the dipper or raise the loader arms to lift the bucket clear of the hole.
4.
The depth of the hole will be controlled by the amount the dipper is extended and the
height of the loader arms.
◦ Use extreme care when working on hillsides. Always dump loaded bucket on uphill side of Skid Hoe to minimize
possibility of upset.
◦ Exercise caution when working close to fences, ditches, or on uneven ground.
DO NOT:
◦ Dig close to the loader’s wheels or under the loader; this could cause a cave-in and vehicle overturn.
