o not exceed the maximum permissible water depth. The water
must not reach higher than the middle of the wheel.
Heavy timber mats can be used to support the machine when
working on boggy ground. The mats should be kept as flat and
clean as possible.

Always check ground conditions before beginning to work. If the
ground is soft, great care must be taken when positioning the
machine. Thawing of frozen ground, rain, traffic, piling and
blasting are factors which increase the risk of landslip. The risk
also increases on sloping ground. If it is not possible to dig with
sufficiently slanting trench sides, the machine must be shored up.
Do not place excavated material too close to the edge as its
weight may cause a landslip. Loose clay should be placed at
least 5 m (16 ft) away from the edge.
Do not dig under the machine.
Do not operate too close to the edge of a steep slope or road
bank. Take care when working in a place where the machine
may tip.
Dig with the excavator unit over the rear axle, with the stabiliser
legs / stabiliser blade down. In this way the greatest stability is
obtained and the machine will be easy to drive away.
Take care when working on river banks or in other similar
places where the ground is soft. There is a risk that the
machine, because of its own weight and own vibrations, may
sink and this could lead to accidents.
Keep in mind that the ground conditions may have changed
after heavy rain. Therefore, be careful when restarting work.
This is particularly important when working near the edge of
ditches, road verges or similar, as the ground may easily give
way after it has been raining.
