Product Usage Instruction

Read Before Use
Operators must be thoroughly instructed before using and maintaining the equipment. Individuals with insufficient instructions may pose serious risks to themselves, the environment, and the equipment. Prior to coupling the attachment to the base machine, ensure all locking cotters are intact and in order, there is no pressure in the hydraulic system, hydraulic hoses are intact, and there is no skin contact with hydraulic oil when connecting hydraulic hoses. Do not pull by the hydraulic hoses, but only by the hydraulic fitting.

During operation, pay attention to safe and appropriate travel speed, other traffic, people and animals, danger zones and objects that block your view, and children. Never use the machine if there is someone in the danger zone or go under the attachment. Check all bolts, nuts, and hydraulic fittings for tightness after the first day of operation. If the equipment is not likely to be used for a longer period of time, clean it thoroughly after use and lubricate as instructed.

Purpose of Use
The trencher features an adjustable depth control foot which ensures the operator trenches at a set depth at all times.

Before connecting hydraulics to the base machine, make sure that:

• there is no-one between the attachment and the base machine
• the base machine is turned off and the parking brake is on.

When coupling the attachment to the base machine, make sure that:

• all locking cotters are intact and in order
• hydraulic hoses are intact
• there is no skin contact to hydraulic oil when connecting hydraulic hoses
• you do not to pull by the hydraulic hoses, but only by the hydraulic fitting.

During operation, pay attention to:

• safe, appropriate travel speed
• other traffic, people and animals
• danger zones and objects that block your view
• children
• use of turn signal when driving

NEVER use the machine, if there is someone in the danger zone NEVER go under the attachment During maintenance, the hydraulics of the base machine MUST be turned off. The base machine MUST also be turned off and the parking brake MUST be applied. The equipment must be properly supported, if maintenance can only be performed by going under the equipment. Never go under the equipment if it is not properly supported.

Daily maintenance:

• check general condition of structures, make repairs if needed
• check the hydraulic hoses and fittings, and replace damaged parts

After every 50 hours of operation:

• lubricate points specified in later section of this manual
• check all bolts and nuts for tightness
• WARNING! Pressurized hydraulic hoses and components!

PARTS OF THE TRENCHER

USING THE TRENCHER

When attaching the Trencher for the first time, make sure it is compatible with the base machine by following the instructions below. Always check the compatibility when attaching the collecting sweeper to a new base machine.

Attaching the Trencher to the base machine
The Trencher is attached to the base machine by welded or bolted quick hitches. The machine is connected to connected to a hydraulic system.

Before using the Trencher, MAKE SURE all locking cotters are secured and intact.
When coupling Trencher to the base machine, please pay attention to the instructions on the use of the base machine.

1. Make sure that the attachment and the base machine are compatible in terms of mechanical solutions, hydraulics and electricity.
2. Apply the parking brake. The Trencher is attached to the coupler on the base machine. Attach the Trencher to the base machine, and make sure the locking cotter are secured.
3. Turn off the base machine and make sure the parking brake is applied.
4. Make sure there is no pressure in the base machine hydraulic system. When connecting, always make sure the hydraulic connectors are clean and the hoses are intact.
5. Check carefully the attachments, the base machine, and the fitting’s trajectory for collision. Make sure that the needed space for hydraulic hoses and -attachments is adequate. Check that the brush roll rotates outwards from the. If not, switch the hoses in the base machine.
6. During the first hours of operating the attachment, bolts, nuts, and connectors might loosen up. Retighten them after the first day of operating the attachment.
