Grading Operation<br />

OPERATING MACHINE<br />

Use the blade for soil refilling and general grading operations<br />

after excavation. Grading operation can be also performed by<br />

operating the boom, arm, and bucket simultaneously.<br />

IMPORTANT: When grading the ground with the<br />

bucket, do not pull or push dirt with the<br />

bucket while traveling the machine like<br />

a bulldozer. Every part of machine may<br />

receive excessively large loads, possibly<br />

resulting in damage to the machine.<br />

When Grading by Operating the Boom, Arm, and Bucket<br />

Simultaneously:<br />

1. When grading from the forward to the backward, slowly<br />

roll in the arm while slightly raising the boom. As soon<br />

as the arm passes the vertical position, slowly lower the<br />

boom so that the bucket can be horizontally moved.<br />

2. When grading from the backward to the forward,<br />

operate the arm and bucket rolled back, as shown.<br />

Grading a slope surface can be performed by operating the<br />

machine in the same method as mentioned above.<br />

Avoid Driving Bucket Teeth into Ground<br />

d<br />

<strong>WARNING</strong>: If the bucket teeth are forcedly driven<br />

into the ground, crushed material may spatter,<br />

possibly resulting in injury of the operator and/or<br />

co-workers around the machine. Furthermore, the<br />

service lifetimes of all front attachment parts may be<br />

shortened.<br />

If the bucket teeth are forcedly driven into the ground, the<br />

service lifetime of all front attachment parts (especially the<br />

bucket) may be severely shortened. When excavating tightly<br />

fastened gravelly soil, use the bucket digging out force.<br />

Operate the boom, arm, and bucket simultaneously so that the<br />

bucket teeth can be effectively penetrated into the excavation<br />

surface. Carefully operate the machine to prevent crushed<br />

material from spattering, possibly resulting in injury to the<br />

operator and/or co-workers around the machine.<br />

Avoid Abusive Operation<br />

If digging force is increased by driving the machine while<br />

pushing the bucket into the ground, or by raising the rear<br />

of the machine to apply the machine weight to the bucket<br />

teeth, severe machine damage may result due to excessive<br />

overloading.<br />
