AVOID HITTING BLADE WITH BUCKET

When rolling in the arm in a travel or transportation position,
be careful not to hit the blade with the bucket.

AVOID COLLIDING BLADE AGAINST ROCKS

Do not attempt to allow the blade to collide with rocks.
Premature damage to the blade and the blade cylinders
may result.

AVOID COLLIDING BOOM CYLI NDER WITH
TRACK

When digging deeply with the front attachment positioned
at an angle, as illustrated, the boom cylinder may
accidentally collide with the track, causing damage. Take
extra care to prevent this from happening.
