Prepare Spoils Removal
The MT12 MicroTrencher is designed to operate optimally with an 800 cfm vacuum excavator unit to
remove spoils. If vacuum excavator is not available, set up unit to operate without it.
With Vacuum Excavator
1. Connect vacuum hose on excavator to vacuum hose on tractor.
2. Operate vacuum unit at full speed for best results. Full vacuum flow to the microtrencher is necessary
for best spoils removal.
Without Vacuum Excavator
1. Cap vacuum hose on tractor.
2. Remove chute plates (1).
3. Install spoils chutes (2).
Read operator’s manual. Know how to use all controls
before operating machine. When you see this sign on the machine or
in the manual, read it and use caution. Your safety is at stake.

canister is empty prior to operation.

chute as indicated by decal on chute.
