Backfilling or grading
1 In order to backfill a trench, position the machine vertically to
the trench and press the dozer blade against the ground.
2 Once the machine starts to push correctly do not leave the con-
trol level (9) in maximum position, but release it.
Working with offset excavating equipment
When it comes to digging a trench along a wall, one utilizes the la-
teral offsetting function. With reference to the axis of the slewing
superstructure the offset can have the following values.
– Operation of switch (3) on control lever (2) switches over to the
"offset" function.
– Lever to the right: Lateral offset to the right.
– Lever to the left: Lateral offset to the left.
This work can be accomplishes under confined spatial conditions.
The minimum radius R1 of the excavator equipment is as follows.
WARNING!
Do not use the bottom of the bucket to level the ground by
swinging it back and forth. This is the duty of the dozer
blade.
