Using a Trench Cleaner
Use the correct trench cleaner for your blade. Two trench cleaners are available: one for blades 1” (25 mm)
or less and one for blades wider than 1” (25 mm).
1. Start trench and move forward a short distance.
2. Move ground drive to neutral and engage parking brake.
3. Raise microtrencher and stop rotation.
4. Remove trench cleaner from stowed position
(shown).
5. Set trench cleaner to desired depth by
matching number of holes below trench
cleaner mounting pin to number of holes
below blade motor, as shown. Trench cleaner
should be close to, but not touching, blade.
6. Start blade rotation and slowly lower
microtrencher into trench to continue
trenching.
7. When finished, stop trenching and return
trench cleaner to stowed position.
NOTICE: Do not start trench with trench cleaner in place.
NOTICE: Operating microtrencher with
trench cleaner in the wrong position
can damage trench cleaner or blade.
