Filling a Trench
1.
Put the key into the ignition switch and turn the key
to the O
N
position.
2.
Pull the auxiliary-hydraulics lever to the reference bar
to engage the trench filler.
3.
Slowly lower the trench filler to the ground so that the
auger is just above the ground.
4.
For best results, start with the float rollers centered in
the float guide.
5.
Slowly move the traction unit forward to fill the trench.
Note:
When you move too fast, the trench filler stalls.
If it stalls, raise it slightly, slowly drive rearward, then
resume moving forward.
6.
When finished, stop the trench filler by releasing the
auxiliary-hydraulics lever.
Transporting the Attachment
on a Trailer
1.
Place the attachment on a trailer or truck capable of
carrying it.
2.
Securely tie the attachment to the trailer or truck using
tie straps appropriate for the weight of the attachment
and for highway use.
Operating Tips
•
Clean the area of trash, branches, and rocks before trench
filling to prevent equipment damage.
•
For best trench filling, center the unit over the trench

•
Always begin trench filling with the slowest ground speed
possible. Increase the speed if conditions permit.
•
Always use full throttle (maximum engine speed) when
trench filling.
•
Never transport the trench filler with the loader arms
raised.
•
When trench filling, the auger should just clear the
original ground surface to obtain maximum soil deposit
into the trench.
•
Periodically check to ensure that the rollers on the trench
filler float are operating properly.
•
When finished, compact the material over the trench to
prepare it for grading.
