Do not dig the bucket into the ground and use the travel force to carry out excavation. This will damage the machine or work equipment, cause loss of control or possibly injure the operator. SAFETY If the work equipment is used with the cylinder rod operated to its stroke end, and impact by some external force is applied, the hydraulic cylinders will be damaged and may causing personal injury. Avoid operations with the hydraulic cylinder fully retracted or fully extended. Do not use the dropping force of the machine for digging, or use the dropping force of the bucket as a pickaxe, breaker, or pile driver.
This will drastically reduce the life of the machine or could possibly cause injury to the operator. Do not use the dropping force of the machine for digging or pulling materials from a high level. Damage to the machine or injury to the operator may result from falling material. PC400LC-7E0 1-25
