TO DUMP ON GROUND:

1. 

with the bucket raised clear of the hole, slowly back up and pivot the loader rearward about the front wheels. This will swing the  

 

loader away from the trench, and the bucket to the side to dump.

 

◦ Keep loads close to the ground while transporting.

9        oPeraTinG Procedures

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 

 

Digga warranty

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.
