1.
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 to allow the bucket to penetrate the soil.
2.
when the bucket is positioned at the desired depth, slowly back up the loader, keeping the bucket height constant to cut a shallow
amount of soil.
IMPORTANT: The tilt circuit of your power unit must be protected with a port relief; ignoring this
precaution CAN result in damage to your power unit and/or this product and wILL void your

TO CUT A SHALLOW TRENCH:
1.
with the loader arms partially raised, curl the dipperstick (attachment mainframe) forward with the bucket cylinder extended and the
bottom of the bucket flat on the ground. The entire height of the bucket should be visible.
2.
Use the loader’s tilt cylinder only to raise the bucket above the material pile.
3.
Pivot the loader to reach over the pile and tilt the Skid Hoe downward so the bottom of the bucket is approximately 12” below the
top of the pile.
4.
Pivot the loader toward the trench, using the side of the bucket to move the material into the trench. Repeat this process, lowering
the bucket 6” at a time.
5.
Move your power unit forward and repeat the above steps to continue filling the trench.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the portion of the trench to be driven on is full before moving forward. Moving on an unstable surface CAN result
in damage to your Loader and/or this product and wILL void your Digga warranty
◦ Always lower the bucket to the ground, set the parking brake, stop engine, remove ignition key and wait for all moving parts to
stop before leaving the operator’s seat.
