OPERA

T

ION

Position the unit so the backhoe swing post is over

the center line of the trench connection. Dig with the

backhoe at extreme swing positions, and in as close

to the stabilizers as possible. Pile the soil on the

opposite side of the trenches.

Position the unit forward with the lift and crowd levers so

the two trenches can be connected. Pile the spoil on the

opposite side of the trench.

SIDE SLOPE EXCAVATING OR TRENCHING

Dig with the backhoe uphill whenever possible.

Level the backhoe on slopes with the stabilizers to dig

plumb trenches, or use the backhoe or loader to cut a level

slot for the uphill wheel and stabilizer. Pile the slot on the

low side.
