Backfilling
Figure OI-107
Use the blade to backfill the trench or hole after
excavating [Figure OI-107].
Driving The Excavator
When operating on uneven ground, operate as slowly as
possible and avoid sudden changes in direction.
Avoid driving over objects such as rocks, trees, stumps,
etc.
When working on wet or soft ground, put planks on the
ground to provide a solid base to drive on and prevent the
excavator from becoming stuck.
Figure OI-108
If one or both tracks have become stuck in soft or wet
ground, raise one track at a time by turning the
upperstructure and pushing the bucket against the ground
[Figure OI-108].
Put planks under the tracks and drive the excavator to dry
ground.
Figure OI-109
The bucket can also be used to pull the excavator. Raise
the blade, extend the arm and lower the boom. Operate
the boom and arm in a digging manner [Figure OI-109].
