SAFETY
DO NOT CRAWL WITH THE BUCKET.
Do not drag the bucket on the ground by
crawling. Level the ground with proper
equipments in a correct way.
UTILIZE THE BLADE FOR DIGGING
OPERATION.
Use the blade as a stabilizer for digging and
follow the next precautions.
• Keep the entire blade contact with the
ground. If the blade stays at an angle to
the ground, or touches the ground partially,
it may be damaged or loose its balance.
To avoid this, level the ground first.
• Do not use the blade to excessively raise
the tracks. Lower the blade only within a
range where the tracks behind the blade
lift slightly to ground the blade as a
stabilizer.
MAINTAIN A CORRECT BLADE POSITION .
lf you need to conduct the deep digging with
the blade, do not raise the blade so that the
blade will not contact with the boom cylinder.
Position the blade to rear if it is not necessary.
