The DIGGA Rock Bucket attaches to the tool bar/quick-attach mechanism of your Machine. Due to this arrangement, thorough
knowledge of the machinery controls is necessary for machine operation. Read and understand your machine operator’s manual for
information regarding machine operation before attempting to use the Rock Bucket. When a Rock Bucket is purchased from Digga or
a DIGGA Dealer/Distributor the frame/attachment is matched for suitability of the original machine it was purchased for. Warranty will be
void if the Rock Bucket is tted to an alternative machine without rst receiving written conrmation from your DIGGA dealer. Check the
work site and identify the extent of the work to be carried out and note any possible hazards or constraints. Underground cables, services
etc. Check with relevant government departments on the location of these before commencement of any work. Review the job at hand
and determine the Rock Bucket is appropriate for the intended conditions. For example: Do not use the bucket to carry people.
4 INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove the shipping banding from around the Rock Bucket and Frame.
2. Remove any attachments from the front of the Machine.
3. Following all standard safety practices and the instructions for installing an attachment in your machine operator’s manual, install
the Rock Bucket onto your Machine.
4. Carefully raise the loader and cycle the tilt cylinders to check clearances and to verify that all mounting procedures have been
successfully completed. The machine is now ready for use.

limited to the most extreme situations, typically for machine components which, for functional purposes, cannot be guarded.
WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury, and includes hazards
that are exposed when guards are removed. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to
alert against unsafe practices.

TO THE OPERATOR
The primary responsibility for safety with this equipment falls to the operator. Make sure that the equipment is operated only by trained
individuals that have read and understand this manual. Don’t hurry the learning process or take the unit for granted. It is the skill, care,
common sense, and good judgement of the operator that will determine how efciently and safely the job is performed. Know your equipment
before you start. Know its capabilities and how to operate all the controls. Visually inspect your equipment before you start, ensure correct
assembly and installation of the attachment and never operate equipment that is not in proper working order. Practice the operation of your
new attachment and become familiar with the controls and the way it handles on your machine. If there is any portion of this manual or
function you do not understand, contact your local authorised dealer or the manufacturer.
1. Never operate the Attachment without rst reading and understanding the entire operator’s manual.

5. Keep all stepping surfaces, pedals, and controls free from dirt, grease and oil. Keep equipment clean to help avoid injury from
slipping or a fall when getting on or off equipment.
6. Operate the attachment only in daylight or sufcient articial light.
7. Always carry loads close to the ground.
