Health and Safety
CAUTION Stand clear and to one side of the
bucket while you remove the pivot pins. With the
pins removed, the bucket could roll over.
WARNING The bucket selected must be the
correct width to suit the hole/trench to be
excavated. However, if the hole width demands
a larger bucket, consideration must be given to
the density/weight of the material to be moved
affecting the stability of the machine especially
if working on a slope. If there is danger of
the machine's stability being compromised, then
select a smaller bucket or reposition the machine.
