Trencher Attachment
Fitting a Trencher
Drive the loader to the attachment. Couple the
attachment plate onto the attachment. Raise
the trencher slightly and fully engage the locking
pins. Turn the engine off and push the AUX lever
forward and backward to release any hydraulic
line pressure. Clean the hydraulic fittings (QRCs)
and connect them to connections A and C. (See
“Hydraulic Attachment Connections.”)
To remove, reverse the order given above. To
prohibit dirt from entering the hydraulic system,
always reconnect the attachment hoses into one
another or fit with supplied dust caps.
Operating Instructions
Complete a pre-operation check. Ensure that the
trencher is securely attached to the loader. Check
that the couplings are engaged and check all joints
for leaks. Tighten and repair as required. Inspect
the cutting teeth, ensuring that they are in good
condition and firmly attached.
Tension the chain. Correct tension requires about
35–45mm (1.5 inches) of lift. To adjust the chain to
this specification, loosen the 16mm bolt, adjust the
adjustment wedge and re-tighten the bolt.
Position the trencher and activate the AUX lever so
that the chain runs along the top of the boom and
returns back toward the operator on the underside.
Engage the TILT lever so that the boom and chain
arcs down to dig a trench. When the desired depth
is achieved, slowly drive the loader backward
along the trench line.
Setting the Trenching Valve
1. On low engine revs and with the attachment off
the ground engage the AUX lever.
2. Increase the revs to desired level.
3. Lower the attachment to working position.
4. Pull drive levers all the way back .
5. Use the knob on the trenching valve to adjust
the ground speed of the loader. Turning the
knob clockwise will make loader move slower
while turning the knob anti-clockwise will
increase the speed of the loader.
Note
Minor adjustments are required to maintain a
straight line, as the loader will tend to “drift” to the
left.

Important Safety Guidelines
Establish and maintain a minimum 4-meter (12-
feet) exclusion zone around the working area. No
person other than the operator should enter the
work zone while the machine’s engine is running.
DANGER
Call the respective “Dial Before You Dig”
authority for your Country or State, several days
before work will commence to have the work
area marked for underground utilities. Do not
begin work until all markings are in place.
Observe all underground utility markings carefully.
Maintain a no-work zone 2 meters (6 feet) from any
utility marking.
DANGER
Do not place hands, feet, or other body part or
object under the trencher for any reason.
