NOTICE
A.
It is your responsibility as the operator of this piece of equipment to know what
specific requirements, precautions and work hazards exist. You must read and
understand all of the information contained in the user manual.
B.
The trencher is a small, operator propelled, chain-type trencher designed for the
installation of lines that require a narrow shallow trench. It has more than enough
power to trench through the toughest soils, however, because of its small size, low
horse power and trench capacity, it is limited in what it is capable of doing. The
job site, soil conditions, job specifications and operator experience may dictate
that a different tool or method be used to do the job.
C.
The digging chain has a tendency to pull the trencher in the opposite direction you
want to dig. For this reason, be sure that the digging teeth are not in contact with
the ground or other objects while starting the engine and that the wheel lock
device engages before lowering the digging bar into the ground. Be sure that you
have a firm grip on the machine and are ready to control it when the digging bar
comes in contact with the ground.
D.
The trencher has a tendency to “hop” or “buck” under certain conditions. This can
be the result of certain soil conditions or buried objects that the trencher cannot
cut through or lift to the surface. The trencher must be stopped and the object
removed, or restarts the trench beyond the object.
