OPERATION

FILLING BUCKET

Control the bucket attitude throughout the digging cycle to keep teeth at the proper angle for best penetration. This will minimize dragging and scraping the bucket through the ground.

When digging in hard-packed soil, bucket penetration can be increased by applying down pressure with the boom while crowding in and curling the bucket. If the crowd action “stalls”, it may be necessary to apply lift occasionally during the digging cycle to correct the bucket depth.

DUMPING BUCKET

To dump the bucket at the end of the digging cycle, lift the bucket clear of the trench while crowding it out and swinging it to the spoil pile.

As the pile is approached, dump the bucket. When the bucket is empty, the dipstick and bucket are in position to resume digging upon return to the trench.

IMPORTANT: Avoid constant jarring or hammering-type contact between the spoil pile and the loaded bucket as this may cause premature wear to the backhoe pin and bushings.

TRENCHING BETWEEN A BUILDING & OPEN EXCAVATORS

Start the trench at the building. Trench out halfway to the excavation. Then, start trenching from the excavation to the first trench. Dig toward the first trench until there is just enough room to move the unit out from between the two trenches.

To obtain a cleaner trench and avoid the build-up of material directly in front of the backhoe, crowd out and completely curl the bucket while starting to lift it from the excavation. In this way, excess material will fall back into the excavation.
