Safety
Warning
To ensure maximum safety and best performance, and
to gain knowledge of the product, it is essential that
you and any other operator of the product read and
understand the contents of this manual before the
engine is ever started.
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert
you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all
safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid
possible injury or death.
Improperly using or maintaining this product could
result in injury or death. To reduce this potential,
comply with the following safety instructions.
Danger
If there are buried power, gas, or telephone lines
in the work area, you may dig into them and cause
a shock or explosion.
Have the property or work area marked for
buried lines and do not dig in marked areas.
Danger
The moving teeth and auger will severely cut
hands, feet, or other body parts.
• Keep hands, feet, and any other part of your
body or clothing away from moving teeth,
auger, or other parts.
• Before adjusting, cleaning, repairing, or
inspecting the trencher, lower it to the ground,
stop the engine, wait for all moving parts to
stop, and remove the key.
The loader arms may lower when in the raised
position after stopping the engine, crushing
anyone under them.
Lower the loader arms before stopping the engine.
Warning
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate the skin and cause injury. Fluid injected
into the skin must be surgically removed within a
few hours by a doctor familiar with this form of
injury or gangrene may result.
• Keep your body and hands away from pin hole
leaks or nozzles that eject high pressure
hydraulic fluid.
• Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks;
never use your hands.
Caution
Hydraulic couplers, hydraulic lines and valves,
and hydraulic fluid may be hot. If you contact hot
components, you may be burned.
• Wear gloves when operating the hydraulic
couplers.
• Allow the traction unit to cool before touching
hydraulic components.
• Do not touch hydraulic fluid spills.
Warning
If you do not fully seat the quick-attach pins
through the attachment mount plate, the
attachment could fall off of the traction unit,
crushing you or bystanders.
• Ensure that the quick-attach pins are fully
seated in the attachment mount plate.
• Ensure that the attachment mount plate is free
of any dirt or debris that may hinder the
connection of the traction unit to the
attachment.
• Refer to your traction unit Operator’s Manual
for information on safely connecting an
attachment to your traction unit.

Safety Decals
99-9952
1. Cutting hazard, chain and auger—stay away from moving parts and keep bystanders away.
2. Warning—stop the engine and remove the key before performing maintenance or repairs.
3. Explosion and/or electric shock hazard—do not dig in areas with buried gas or power lines.
Stability Ratings
To determine the degree of slope you can traverse with the
trencher installed on a traction unit, find the stability
rating for the hill position you want to travel in the table
below, then find the degree of slope for the same rating
and hill position in the Stability Data section of the
traction unit Operator’s Manual.

Warning
If you exceed the maximum recommended slope,
the traction unit could tip, possibly crushing you
or bystanders.
Do not drive the traction unit on a slope steeper
than the maximum recommended slope.
Operation
Refer to your traction unit Operator’s Manual for
complete instructions on installing attachments onto the
traction unit and connecting hydraulic hoses.

Important Always use the traction unit to lift and
move the attachment.
Checking the Bearing Case
8. When finished, raise the trencher and boom out of the
trench by tilting the attachment rearward, then stop the
trencher by shifting the auxiliary hydraulics lever into
neutral.
Lube Level
Before operating the trencher, ensure that the bearing case
is filled with gear lube.
1. Clean the area around the bearing case fill hole plug
(Fig. 3).
2. Remove the plug from the bearing case fill hole
(Fig. 3).
3. Look in the hole; the level should be up to the bottom
of the hole; if it is not, add gear lube until it comes out
the hole.
4. Replace the plug and torque it to 67 to 83 ft-lb. (91 to
112 N⋅m).
Digging with the Trencher
1. Start the engine.
2. Pull the auxiliary hydraulics lever to the reference bar
to engage the trencher.
3. Slowly lower the trencher to the ground so that the
boom and chain are parallel to the ground.
4. Begin inserting the nose of the boom and chain into
the ground by slowly raising the trencher a few inches
off the ground while tilting the nose down into the
ground gradually.
5. Once the trencher boom is in the ground at a 45- to
60-degree angle, slowly lower the trencher until the
spoils auger is just above the ground.
6. Ensure that all parts of the trencher are functioning
correctly.
7. Slowly move the traction unit rearward to extend the
trench.
Note: If you move too fast, the trencher will stall. If it
stalls, raise it slightly, slowly drive forward, or reverse
the chain direction momentarily.
Tips for Trenching
• Clean the area of trash, branches, and rocks before
trenching to prevent equipment damage.
• Always begin trenching with the slowest ground speed
possible. Increase the speed if conditions permit.
• Always use full throttle (maximum engine speed)
when trenching.
• Always trench backward (i.e., in reverse).
• Never transport the trencher with the loader arms
raised. Keep the arms lowered and the trencher tilted
up.
• When trenching, the spoils auger should just clear the
original ground surface to obtain maximum soil
removal.
• Trench at a 45 to 60 degree angle for best results.
• You can dig a trench faster by periodically adjusting
the loader arms to control the depth of the trencher and
prevent it from bottoming out.
• If the trencher binds in the soil, push the auxiliary
hydraulics lever fully forward to reverse the chain
direction. Once the chain is loose, pull the lever
rearward again and continue trenching.
• If you need the finished trench to be cleaner than what
is possible with the trencher, you can purchase a
crumber from your dealer. The crumber mounts onto
the trencher and scrapes the trench clean as you run
the trencher.
Transporting the Trencher on a
Trailer
• Place the trencher on a trailer or truck capable of
carrying it.
• Securely tie the trencher to the trailer or truck using tie
straps appropriate for the weight of the trencher and
for highway use.

Storage Service
If you leave the key in the ignition switch, someone could accidently start the engine and
seriously injure you or other bystanders.
Remove the key from the ignition and disconnect the wire from the spark plug before you do
any maintenance. Set the wire aside so that it does not accidentally contact the spark plug.
Maintenance Procedure
• Grease all fittings.
• Check the teeth and replace any that are worn or damaged.
• Tighten the bolt and nut securing the spoils auger.
• Adjust the digging chain tension.
• Check the condition of the bearing case lube.
• Check the boom for wear.
• Grease all fittings.
• Adjust the digging chain tension.
• Paint any chipped surfaces.
Caution
Greasing the Trencher
Grease all grease fittings every 8 operating hours and
immediately after every washing with a general-purpose
grease.
1. Clean the grease fittings with a rag.
2. Connect a grease gun to each fitting (Fig 2).

3. Pump grease into the fittings until grease begins to
ooze out of the bearings.
4. Wipe up any excess grease.
Servicing the Bearing Case
