Deformation of the boom, arm, or links is not covered by the war- ranty. To get long life out of the equipment, and to ensure safety in operations, please avoid the following opera- tions: REMARK Light duty operation means work such as dredging rivers or work on slope faces (where the specific gravity of the material is less than 1.1 ton/m 3 ) 1. Do not use the swing force to carry out operations. Be careful not to compact the soil or damage earth mounds as a result of the swinging motion.
When swinging, do not dig the bucket teeth into the ground. 2. Do not use the travel force to carry out operations. Do not move off and excavate with the bucket left dug into the ground. 3. Be careful not to operate any hydraulic cylinder at the end of its stroke. When working with the machine, do not move cylinders to the end of their stroke, but leave a small safety mar- gin. 4. Do not use the dropping force of the bucket for operations. Do not use the dropping force of the bucket as a pickaxe, breaker or piledriver. 5. Do not use the dropping force of the machine for operations. Do not use the dropping force of the machine for digging. 6.
This equipment must not be used for excavating rockbed. 7. Do not operate the levers suddenly. 8. Do not use the machine for lifting operations. Do not travel the machine with a load raised. 9.
