6 - WORKING OPERATIONS
Practices to improve efficiency
• Slewing the upper structure on a slope may cause the
machine’s overturning. On a slope, it is very danger-
ous to slew the upper structure downhill with full bucket.
Prepare a level area for the machine to operate safely.
• Make sure the rotation area is clear of persons and ob-
stacles before operating the engine.
NOTE: The optional attachments offer a wider range of
application other than the showed ones.
Digging instructions
Use mainly the mere arm force for digging. Use the
full bucket rotation travel to fill it completely. Setting the
bucket too deep will decrease the machine’s efficiency.
Maximum digging force position
The attachment will provide maximum digging force when
arm and boom are positioned at 90 - 110 ° from each
other. Operate slowly to get maximum digging force.
Bucket teeth direction
LELI11E0228AB 1
Direct bucket teeth parallel to digging direction. The
bucket must be used for shallow diggings, so as to reduce
the resistance and avoid damaging the teeth.
Operate boom carefully
Activate boom operation by moving the control levers
carefully. Do not perform sudden starts and stops of the
boom as this creates unnecessary stress on the machine
and its components.
LELI11E0229AB 2
Clean sand and soil from bucket
Place the arm in horizontal position and bring the bucket
to the dumping position. If sand and soil do not fall out,
move the bucket lever right and left a few times to remove
soil stuck to the bucket.

Before operating hydraulic breaker
Contact your Dealer for pipings, for the installation of the
hydraulic breaker and for the replacement of the hydraulic
oil return filter, according to the maintenance schedule
enclosed. Thoroughly read the hydraulic breaker opera-
tion manual and the safety instructions described in this
manual to prevent damaging the machine or the hydraulic
breaker during operation. When the hydraulic breaker is
used, the excavator is subjected to working conditions
more critical than usual, that speed up hydraulic oil de-
terioration and contamination. To avoid damaging the
hydraulic system of the excavator and of the hydraulic
breaker, follow maintenance procedures observing the
time schedule indicated in this manual.
Prevention of hydraulic oil contamination
When the hydraulic breaker is not installed on the ma-
chine, apply blanking plugs on the tube ends of arm and
breaker, to prevent the penetration of foreign bodies.
Before starting operation, check the fixing clamps for
looseness, and the tubes and hoses fittings for leakage.
Hydraulic lines
Left side AUX hydraulic line (C) has to be used to supply
hydraulic flow to breaker.
Right side AUX hydraulic line (D) has to be used for
breaker free return.
