General Operations

SIDE SLOPE EXCAVATING OR TRENCHING

Dig with the backhoe uphill whenever possible.

Level the backhoe on slopes with the stabilizers to dig plumb trenches, or use the backhoe or loader to cut a level slot for the uphill wheel and stabilizer. Pile the spoil from the slot on the low side.

When on the side of a steep slope, cut a level surface along the uphill side of the trench with the loader.

Pile the spoil of the cut downhill. When digging, pile the spoil of the trench uphill.

Dig field trenches progressively. As soon as one trench is completed, have the workmen lay the tile. Start the next trench, using the spoil to fill the previous trench.

MISCELLANEOUS

When finishing straight walls or bellholes in sandy soil, use a platform under the rear tires and the stabilizers. The plat- form distributes the load over a larger area and lessens the possibility of a cave-in. The platform also tends to keep the unit from creeping rearward if hard digging is encountered.

FINISHING STRAIGHT WALLS

Finish the far wall by crowding out while forcing the bucket down from the boom. Actuate the bucket (curl out) to keep the bottom of the bucket vertical.

To finish the near wall, lift up and crowd in. Keep the edges of the bucket horizontal.

BACKFILLING

Backfill by lifting the bucket over the spoil pile and then crowding in. Pull both the crowd and lift levers for smooth, even backfilling.

IMPORTANT: Do not backfill by using the swing circuit and dragging the bucket sideways. Doing so can cause damage to the dipperstick, boom, or swing cylinders and/or the mainframe.
