OPERATOR'S MANUAL

23EXCAVATOR OPERATION
BDrive Levers (Right, Left)
To avoid personal injury or death:
A If the swing frame has been turned
180 , i.e. the dozer is, seen by the
operator, "behind", then the travel
direction is opposite to the drive
direction of the levers (when
activating the drive lever forwards,
the excavator, seen by the operator,
will move backwards).
Pushing the drive lever forward, moves the
excavator forward, and vice-versa. The front of
the excavator is the direction where the dozer is
present.
A If the crawler is clogged with sand or gravel
while working on soft ground, lift up one
crawler with the help of the boom, arm and
bucket and let the crawler rotate to shake off
the sand and gravel.
TURNS
To avoid personal injury:
A Do not change direction on steep
slopes, or the excavator could tip
over.
A Before changing direction, beware of
persons in the working area.
BPivot Turn

When the dozer is facing the back, the turning
direction is reversed.
