To stop, release the traction control (Figure 6).
Note:
The farther you move the traction control in
any direction, the faster the machine will move in that
direction.
Boom Elevation Lever
To lower the boom, slowly move the lever forward
(Figure 11).
To raise the boom, stop the chain and slowly move the
lever rearward (Figure 11).
Note:
The boom will not raise while the chain is
running at full speed. Move the trencher control away
from the reference bar when raising the boom.

Boom Elevation Lock
The boom elevation lock secures the boom elevation
lever so that you cannot push it forward. This helps to
ensure that no one will accidentally lower the boom
during maintenance. Secure the boom with the lock
anytime you need to stop the machine with the boom
raised.
To set the lock, lift up on it so it clears the hole in the
control panel and swing it to the right in front of the
boom elevation lever, pushing it down into the locked
position (Figure 12).

Trencher Control Lever
To dig with the trencher, rotate the lever rearward and
pull it down to the reference bar (Figure 13, number 1).
To reverse the trencher head, rotate the lever rearward,
then move it left into the upper slot (Figure 13, number
2).
If you release the lever, it will automatically return to
the neutral position (Figure 13, number 3), stopping the
chain.
