OPERATING TECHNIQUES
ATTACHMENT TYPE BACKHOES
To check for pipeline leaks, start by digging a bellhole about six feet wide and ten feet
long. Then, dig lengthwise along the pipeline to locate the leak. Once the leak is located,
position the unit to dig at grade level on both sides of the pipeline. If a section of pipe is to be
replaced, strip the soil from both ends of the bellhole. Enlarge the hole enough to allow the
workmen adequate working space in the leak area.
DIGGING STRAIGHT WALL SHALLOW BASEMENTS
Begin at one corner, and remove as much material as possible to grade level. Reset
the unit forward and continue digging to the grade level. Progress around the edge of the
basement, nishing each corner as you come to it.
