Steer machine as straight as possible making small, gradual changes in direction. 3) When driving over rough terrain, reduce speed to lessen possibility of undercarriage damage. Reduce speed when carrying a heavy load, or working in a congested area. 4) When possible, avoid obstacles, rough terrain, rocks, curbs, and ditches. In general, decrease speed to increase control. 5) When driving, carry bucket or attachment low for good visibility and machine stability and to avoid overhead obstacles. Visibility may also be improved by rotating upper structure slightly. g. Maneuvering the machine on slopes Use your seatbelt. CAUTION: Prevent possible injury from machine rollover. DO NOT turn machine on a slope.
5-6
h. Maneuvering the machine down slopes 1) Use your seatbelt. 2) Lower bucket near to ground as shown. 3) Angle of boom to arm should be 90 degrees. 4) Drive down slope with boom on the downhill end of the machine. 5) If machine begins to slide, lower boom, placing bucket against or in the ground to slow the machine. i. Maneuvering the machine up slopes 1) Use your seatbelt 2) Position undercarriage so propel motors will be on uphill end of machine. 3) Keep the bucket on the uphill side, approximately 12 in. (A) above ground. 4) If machine starts to slip or become unstable, lower the bucket immediately. j. Maneuvering the machine off an embankment 1) To move machine over edge of embankment, position bucket with flat surface resting on ground. Angle (A) of arm to boom should be 90 degrees. 2) Bucket must be on ground before machine begins to tip. IMPORTANT: To prevent machine damage, do not allow machine to impact ground with bucket absorbing force of the fall. 4) As machine moves forward, raise the boom and retract arm until front of tracks reaches the lower ground level. 5) Raise bucket off the ground. Rotate upper structure 180 degrees.
5-7
6) Position bucket on ground with flat surface of bucket resting on ground. Angle (A) of arm to boom should be 90 degrees. 7) Lower boom slightly and propel machine towards lower level as the arm is extended. 8) When tracks clear embankment, raise boom to lower undercarriage on lower ground level. 9) To move machine onto an embankment, reverse procedure.

Chapter 6 Lifting
3. Clamping with Bucket From the stored position actuate and locate the hydraulic thumb near the object to be picked up. Curl-in the bucket (A) to the point where it begins to grasp and force the object being picked up into the face of the hydraulic thumb. The thumb is capable of large clamping forces and could crush the object. To prevent the bucket and thumb from crushing the object, feather the bucket control to the point where the object can be picked up but not crushed. 4. Clamping with Hydraulic Thumb CAUTION: This method is less precise and should only be used where there is no concern about crushing the object to be clamped. Retract the hydraulic thumb to the store position (B). This allows better operator visibility. Position the bucket behind and curl it in until it is near or in contact with the object being picked up. Actuate the hydraulic thumb and allow it to grasp and clamp. This method of grasping is usually less precise and objects may be crushed. 5. Lifting Objects CAUTION: Always use caution when lifting and transporting objects with the hydraulic thumb and bucket. Excavators can lift heavy objects that are closer to the excavator. As heavy objects are moved further away from the machine via boom and arm actuation, the possibility of making the machine unstable exists. Use caution when lifting, moving and rotating heavy objects away from the excavators main body. Never lift clamped objects over people. The possibility always exists that the lifted objects could drop. 6. Releasing Clamped Objects CAUTION: Always look before you release a clamped load. Never release a clamped load while moving or turning. Objects clamped in the jaws should be released one of two ways. Retract the material clamp or retract the bucket.

Chapter 7 Attachments
1. Using Quick-Disconnect Hitch a. The cylinder in the Quick-Disconnect Hitch is powered by hydraulic oil from the excavator bucket cylinder, which is diverted to the Quick-Disconnect by an electric solenoid valve. The switch is located on the left side rear cab glass. NOTE: The solenoid coil is energized only in the unlatch position. b. To attach the Quick-Disconnect Hitch to an attachment manually, lift and rotate the safety lock pin lever on the bucket to rear of the Quick-Disconnect Hitch. Fully extend the bucket cylinder and set the Quick-Disconnect Hitch switch (A) to the latched position. Extend the bucket cylinder again and place the oil over relief (except for rock drill attachment). This will activate the cylinder to the open position. c. Operate the excavator to position the Quick-Disconnect Hitch in the vertical position (B). The attachment must be level and resting on the ground. d. Position the Quick-Disconnect Hitch to engage the front hook of the attachment (C). e. Rotate the Quick-Disconnect Hitch to seat the rear of latch over the rear attachment pins (D). CAUTION: Do not raise the attachment without acceptable wedge engagement. The attachment can fall causing possible injury to people in the vicinity of attachment. f. Move the latch swing to the latch position and move the bucket control in order to carefully curl the Quick-Disconnect Hitch and the attachment to full extension of the bucket cylinder. This will place oil over the relief and divert oil to the hydraulic latch cylinder in order to engage the wedge into the attachment. NOTE: Keep the attachment close to the ground during all latch and unlatch operations. CAUTION: Wedge must be engaged into attachment.

Chapter 7 Attachments
IMPORTANT: The safety lock pin is a safety device to mechanically secure the attachment in the event of hydraulic system failure. The machine should not be operated without the safety lock pin in the locked position (E). g. The safety lock pin lever is at the rear of the Quick-Disconnect Hitch. Carefully rotate the spring loaded safety lock pin lever toward the excavator to engage the lock pin. 2. Quick Disconnect Attachment Removal a. Fully extend arm and curl bucket in. Place the attachment on the ground. b. Manually lift and rotate the safety lock pin lever from its locked position and install it in the unlocked position (F). c. To unlatch the quick-Disconnect Hitch from an attachment fully extend the bucket cylinder. Move the Quick-Disconnect Hitch switch (A) in the operators cab to the unlatched position. Move the bucket control to extend the bucket cylinder again to place hydraulic oil over relief (except rock drill attachment). This will activate the latch cylinder to the open position. NOTE: Alarm will sound when switch is in unlocked position. d. Operate the excavator to rotate the Quick-Disconnect Hitch in the vertical position. e. Remove the Quick-Disconnect Hitch from the hook on the front of the attachment (H).

Chapter 8 Ditching
1. Arm Digging a. For most general excavating, leveling material, and digging trenches. b. To begin excavating, position the arm in a vertical position and then move it away from machine approximately 2 ft. c. Extend the dipper arm completely and position the bucket teeth at a 30 angle. As the bucket fills, curl the bucket while retracting the arm. The first cut should be approximately 4 ft long and 3-4 in. deep. Remaining cuts should be approximately 4 ft long and 4-6 in. deep. 2. Bucket digging for power digging and for working in a small or cramped excavation. Use the bucket cylinder (A) for digging. a. Lower the bucket to the digging area and use the boom to force the bucket into the ground. Work two functions at once; retracting the arm, and curling the bucket until the bucket is full. b. If the bucket stalls, raise the boom slightly and continue to curl bucket. c. If arm stalls, roll back bucket to break it out. IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging cylinder(s), DO NOT strike ground with bucket or use bucket for tamping when bucket cylinder is fully extended (bucket completely curled under). d. When bucket cylinder is fully extended, DO NOT strike the ground with the bucket or use the bucket for tamping. e. DO NOT use the bucket as a hammer or pile driver. DO NOT attempt to shift rocks and break walls using swing motion. f. DO NOT side load bucket. For example, DO NOT swing bucket to level material or DO NOT strike objects from the side with the bucket. g. Match bucket, bucket teeth, or attachment to type of material being handled. h. Loose fragmented material dumps quickly from the bucket. To break up material as it enters the bucket, excavate materials in thin layers rather than jamming it into the bucket. This is especially important with sticky materials.
8-1
Chapter 8 Ditching
i. If you clean the bucket by rapping it against the stop, to prevent cylinder damage, use the MINIMUM amount of force. Clean the bucket by hand if rapping bucket lightly does not work. DO NOT try to remove material from bucket by striking bucket against the ground or another object. 3. Preventing Cave-ins a. Work perpendicular to or at an angle to excavation with propel motors to the rear of the machine. b. DO NOT drive near the edge of an excavation or trench. c. DO NOT dig under machine. 4. Planning Spoil Piles a. To prevent cave-ins, place spoil pile at least 3 ft away from excavation. The deeper the excavation the further the spoil pile should be placed from the excavation. Place spoil piles convenient to truck loading or backfilling. b. On slopes, place spoil pile on the upper side of the slope for improved machine stability and easier backfilling. 5. Trenching a. Before starting work, make sure you have a digging permit, walk the site to uncover hazards and to plan the job. Check for buried utility lines, pipes, and for gas/oil pipelines. b. To prevent cave-ins, dig a V shaped trench and place spoil piles at least 1 m (3ft) away from trench. The deeper the trench, the further the spoil pile should be placed from it. c. If you have to clean up a cave-in and cannot reach it from machines present position, DO NOT back over the trench. Drive the machine beside the trench to the cave-in. Park the machine at a 90-degree angle with the propel motors to the rear of the machine. Clean cave-in from the side of the trench. d. When trenching across a slope, level the machine so that the bottom of the trench will be level. Level the machine by counter rotating tracks or by digging a shelf. e. Place the spoil pile on the upper side of the trench. The machine is more stable and backfilling is easier.

Chapter 8 Ditching
f. For straight line trenching, drive two stakes in at the beginning of the trench. Drive the first stake in immediately behind the starting point and the second stake approximately 30 ft behind the first (A). g. Use the stakes as a sight gauge. They are especially helpful if the machine is moved often. 6. Backfilling a. When backfilling, position machine at a 90 degree angle to the excavation, with propel motors to the rear of the machine. b. To prevent machine damage, DO NOT use the side of the bucket to backfill. c. The bucket side can be used for finish grading. d. Extra material can be backfilled around foundations to allow for settling. 7. Operating In Water and Mud a. Be careful not to operate the machine in water or mud above the upper deck surface of the undercarriage, causing the swing bearing and rotary manifold to be submerged. b. If the swing bearing and rotary manifold are submerged, remove cover from underneath center of machine. Remove drain plug (A) to drain water and mud. c. Clean swing gear area. Install plug and cover. Lubricate swing gear and swing bearing. (see maintenance chartEvery 500 Hours Chapter.) 8. Clean Track Frame Area a. Swing upper structure 90 degrees. CAUTION: Prevent possible injury from machine sliding backwards. Keep angle between boom and arm 90-110 degrees. b. Lower bucket (round side down) to raise track off ground, keeping angle (A) between boom and arm 90-110 degrees. c. Run track back and forth to remove mud and dirt.
8-3
Chapter 8 Ditching
d. Turn engine off. CAUTION: Prevent possible injury from unexpected machine movement. Place blocks under machine frame to support machine while cleaning track frame area when track is stationary. e. Place blocks under machine frame. If further cleaning of track frame area is performed while track is stationary. f. Clean track often during cold weather to prevent damage to track components. 9. Operating Tips a. Before starting work, walk the site to uncover hazards and to plan the job. Check for buried utility lines and pipes and for gas and oil pipelines. b. Keep site clean and level to maximize machine stability reduce operator fatigue, and increase productivity. c. Do not knock down stakes or grade markers. If you lose sight of your guides, you may have to rework the job.

Chapter 9 Loading
1. Truck Loading a. The fastest method for loading a haul unit is with the excavator positioned on a bench or stockpile and the truck positioned below. b. Level loading area during wait time between trucks to maximize machine stability, decrease operator fatigue, and increase productivity. c. Know location of all persons in working area, including truck driver. DO NOT load the truck unless the truck driver is in a safe place. d. If possible, park truck where wind will be behind operator to keep dust of the dumped load out of operators eyes and out of engine air cleaner. e. Raise the bucket while swinging toward the truck. f. Dump first load into truck from a minimum height to lessen the stress on the truck. The first material in the box will cushion following loads. Dump the load into truck at a steady pace (rather than abruptly) to minimize stress on truck. g. Load truck box from center front to center rear. h. If loading large rock, first place a load of smaller rock into truck to cushion impact of large rock in truck. i. Move bucket to excavation level while swinging away from the truck. j. DO NOT swing the bucket over the cab.
