Pre-Start Inspection and Operation
In extremely cold weather fully warm machine to prevent a possible machine run-away
condition.
Machine Shut-down
To safely shut the machine down, the operator must:
1. Park the machine on a solid, level area.
2. Lower the trencher boom to the ground.
3. Idle the engine for 5 - 10 minutes to allow the machine to cool down.
4. Shut off the engine.
5. Clean off any accumulated mud and/or dirt from the machines operating surfaces, i.e.
operator’s platform, both track assemblies, trencher chain assembly, etc.
Transportation
1. Move the throttle control lever to the mid-range engine speed. Raise the boom so that it will
clear the ramp of the transport trailer.
It is recommended to back the machine onto the transport trailer and position the
machine so that the heaviest weight (center of balance) is towards the
front (hitch end) of the trailer. See Figure 3–6 .
The Boxer is designed for maximum working balance. When traveling on an incline,
always have the heaviest portion of the machine pointing uphill.
2. Follow general load carrying safety. Always carry the heaviest load pointing uphill.
