10 Excavating options
10.1 Digging
Optimal stability while excavatingPlace the dozer blade against the ground for additional stability.The dozer blade can be lowered using the dozer blade leverlocated on the right side of the driver's seat.
Never dig under the vehicle. When excavating in or nearexcavated areas, ensure that the walls are well supported!CAUTION: Risk of Collapse
In order to obtain maximum performance, the excavator armshould not be fully extended.Remove the excavated material with long, flat movements of theexcavator arm.
10.2 Excavator arm swing angle
The excavator arm can be swung 50° to the right and 80° to the leftfrom its basic position. This makes excavation of trenches alongwalls, fences, etc. possible. It is under certain circumstancespossible that the offset cylinder stops while moving the functionoffsetting. This can occur if both the dipper stick and the bucket arefully activated. The function offsetting is mostly used in confinedareas instead of cab rotation. Since in confined areas the functionof the arm system is hardly ever fully activated, if so only inextraordinary circumstances which do not distract the completefunction of the machine.

13.1 Jump starts (with jumper cables)
If the battery is dead, another battery (12 Volt) can be used in conjunctionwith suitable jumper cables to start the excavator.
ATTENTION: The following procedure requiring two people is theonly safe method for bridging a dead or run downbattery. Two people are required so that the jumpercables can be removed without the driver having toleave the cab.Never attempt to connect a jumper cable when thebattery to be charged is frozen. This can causedamage or an explosion. Follow the instructionscompletely and in the correct order to avoid injury.
CAUTION:
Check before connecting batteries:The good battery must also be a 12 volt battery.Examine jumper cables and terminals for damage, rust, etc.
1. Turn the ignition keys of both vehicles to "off" and ensure that theoperating levers of both vehicles are in "neutral position" and that thevehicles are not touching.2. Remove the battery filler caps and ensure that the battery fluid levelis correct. A clean cloth must also be placed over the openings toprevent battery acid from boiling over.
CAUTION: If acid splashes onto skin, eyes, or clothing, wash immediately with large amounts of water.
3. Use jumper cables to connect the positive terminals (+) of thebatteries. Ensure that cable and terminal are properly secured.CAUTION: Never attempt to connect the jumper cable directly to the starter solenoid switch, always connect it to the positive terminal (+) of the excavator battery. Connection of the jumper cable to the negative terminal (-) should always be carried out last.
4. Connect a jumper cable to the negative terminal (-) of the dead or rundown battery.
5. Finally, connect the jumper cable to the negative terminal (-) of thebattery of the assisting vehicle. Ensure that cable and terminal areproperly secured.

16 Care and Maintenance
16.1 General
Care and maintenance have a lot to do with the reliability and operating life of the excavator.
Washing: during the first three months the excavator should only be cleaned with cold water (no high-pressure or steam cleaning systems); after the first three months keep the spray nozzle at least 30 cmfrom the vehicle, the water temperature should not exceed 60° C and no aggressive cleaning agentsshould be used.It is in the owner's interest to adhere to the maintenance schedule.
The manufacturer requires that all prescribed maintenance work be carried out. Neglected maintenancewill result in limitations on the guarantee.
See the engine operating instructions for engine maintenance.
The use of lubricants other than those recommended by the manufacture invalidates all warranty claims.
Before you undertake any maintenance or repair work, find out if there is any damage to the vehicle.
Lower attachments to the ground before starting maintenance or repair work. Engage locking and safetylevers. Release residual pressure from hydraulic system Allow engine to cool (radiator fluid is hot)
If the machine must be raised to carry out work, make sure it is secured (supported) appropriately.
Make sure there is an adequate flow of air before undertaking maintenance or repair work in a closed room.
Dispose of oil, oil filters, etc. in accordance with environmental laws.
When working on or under the excavator, put a warning sign on the seat or somewhere that it is clearlyvisible and legible.Remove the key from the ignition.
Never work in a damp area or with wet hands (or gloves) on the electrical system.
Remove the negative (-) pole from the battery when working on the electrical system.
If sealing elements (O-rings, flange seals, etc.) are removed, always replace them with new ones.
After tightening bolts, lock them against rotation.
Always clean dirt and oil residues from the vehicle after maintenance or repair work. RISK OF SLIPPING!

Operation in areas carrying underground lines
Prior to carrying out excavation work with earthmoving machinery, a check must be made in thearea to be excavated for underground lines which might present a risk to persons.
If underground lines are present, their location and course must be determined by agreement withthe owner or operator of the line and the necessary safety measures must be stipulated and taken.The course of lines in the construction site zone must be clearly marked under supervision prior toearthmoving work being commenced. If the location of lines cannot be determined, exploratorytrenches must be dug, if necessary by hand.If underground lines or their protective coverings are contacted or damaged inadvertently, themachine operator must stop work immediately and notify the supervisor.
Operation close to overhead electric lines
When working with earthmoving machinery close to overhead electric lines and contact lines, asafety clearance dependent on the voltage rating of the overhead line must be kept between suchlines and the earthmoving machine and its operating devices to prevent a voltage transfer. Thisalso applies to the clearance between such lines and attachments or slung loads.The following safety clearances are applicable in Germany:
Voltage ratingSafety clearanceup to 1000 V1.0 mmore than 1 kV to 110 kV3.0 mmore than 110 kV to 220 kV4.0 mmore than 220 kV to 380 kVor for unknown voltage rating5.0 m
6.8.3 All working movements of earthmoving machinery, e.g. the boom positions, the swinging ofcables and the dimensions of slung loads must be taken into account, as must groundirregularities through which the earthmoving machine is tilted and thus comes closer to overheadlines.Wind may make overhead lines and operating devices swing out, reducing the clearance.If adequate clearance from electrical transmission lines and contact lines cannot be maintained,the contractor must implement other safety measures against voltage transfer by agreement withthe owner or operator of the lines. This may be done, for example, by- switching off the current,
