Komatsu — Excavation work

Operation 3.3. Operation Excavation work During excavation work, ensure that you do not load the bucket only on one side, as the equilibrium of the machine may be impaired. 1. Drive up to the soil heap in a straight line. 2. Slow down the machine using the service brake while keeping the accelerator pedal pressed down at the same time. 3. Bend the bucket edge slightly down. 4. While driving forward, move slightly the multi-function lever of the boom in order to remove only a thin layer of the surface of the soil to be removed. 5. Move the multi-function lever of the boom slightly up and down to reduce the resistance during driving forward.

While removing, ensure that the digging force is not applied only on one side of the bucket. WA90-5 – VEAM270100 3-61
