Boom, Stick and Bucket Operation
SMCS - 7000
Digging

2. Position the bucket cutting edge at a 120 degree angle to the ground. Maximum breakout
force can now be exerted with the bucket.

3. Move the stick toward the cab and keep the bucket parallel to the ground.

4. If the stick stops due to the load, raise the boom and/or perform a curl in order to adjust the
depth of the cut.
5. To apply the greatest force at the cutting edge, decrease the down pressure as you move the
stick toward the cab.
6. Maintain a bucket attitude that ensures a continuous flow of material into the bucket.
7. Continue the pass in a horizontal direction so that material peels into the bucket.
Illustration 5 g00101528
8. Close the bucket and raise the boom when the pass has been completed.

9. Engage the swing control when the bucket is clear of the excavation.

10. To dump a load, move the stick outward and open the bucket in a smooth motion.
Lifting Objects
To prevent injury, do not exceed the rated load capacity of the machine.
If the machine is not on level ground, load capacities will vary.

NOTICE
Damage to bucket cylinder, bucket or linkage could result if slings are
placed incorrectly.
There may be local regulations and/or government regulations that govern the use of machines
which lift heavy objects. Obey all local and government regulations.
If this machine is used to lift objects within an area that is controlled by the European Directive
"2006/42/EC", the machine must be equipped with a boom lowering control valve, a stick
lowering control valve, and an overload warning device.
Japan regulations require some machines to use a shovel crane configuration in order to lift ceratin
objects.
Contact your Cat dealer for additional information.
Short slings will prevent excessive load swing.
Illustration 8 g00101531
Use the lifting eye that is provided on the linkage to lift objects.
If the lifting eye is used, the connection must be made with a sling or with a shackle.

Illustration 9 g00101532
An unstable condition can exist if a load exceeds the machine load rating or if a heavy load is
swung over an end or over a side.
Illustration 10 g00101533
The most stable lifting position is over a corner of the machine.

Illustration 11 g00101534
For the best stability, carry a load close to the machine and to the ground.
Illustration 12 g00101535
Lift capacity decreases as the distance from the swing centerline is increased.
Machines that are Equipped with a Long Reach
Configuration
Machines with a long reach configuration require larger swing drift than standard machines when
stopping, because inertial force in time of swing is large. Taking this into account, adjustments are
made in timing for applying the swing brakes and speed of swinging.
Machines with a long reach configuration could be damaged and stability of the machine would be
adversely affected if a control was suddenly operated, because inertial force of work tool is large.
