USING THE MACHINE AS AN EXCAVATOR 3.13.3 SLIDING THE BACKHOE UNIT SIDEWARDS 129 IMPORTANT • Before moving the backhoe unit, make sure that the sliding guides are clean and lubricated with grease. 1 - Lower the stabilizers (1) to avoid overloading the rear wheels and to prevent the machine from oscillating. 2 - Swing the boom (2) against the machine. 3 - Manoeuvre the bucket (3) and the arm (4) until the bucket teeth are perpendicular to the ground when the arm and the boom form an angle of approx. 90°; plant the bucket teeth onto the ground. 4 - Release the backhoe unit (see “3.3.5 MACHINE CONTROLS” pos. 9). 5 - Make the unit slide by manoeuvring the arm.
CAUTION CAUTION • Carry out this manoeuvre by operating the arm opening/folding lever smoothly, in such a way as to maintain the sliding support in vertical position and therefore facilitate its sliding. 6 - Lock the unit. RWA00710 4 2 3 1 1
