Further recommendations for digging
When planning and performing digging work, Wacker Neuson recommends
that you observe the following points:
• Exits from pits must be outside the digging line and as level as possible.
• Dig by removing adjacent strips if possible.
• Ensure that you can drive forward when driving out of the digging area
with a fully loaded bucket.
• Perform transport trips downhill with loaded bucket in reverse operation.
Freeing the vehicle
If the vehicle gets stuck in the ground:
• Tilt out the bucket until the blade is vertical above the ground.
• Lower the boom all the way.
• Slowly tilt out the bucket.
➥
The vehicle is pushed backward.
• Reverse slowly.
• Repeat this procedure until the tracks reach firm ground.
• Reverse the vehicle away.
