Swiveling the Boom
Press and hold the auxiliary control button (1, Figure 334), located on top of the left joystick. Then press the auxiliary hydraulics pedal (2) with your toe or heel. Pressing and holding the auxiliary hydraulic/changeover button (1) and pressing the front of the auxiliary hydraulics pedal (2) swiveled the boom to the left. Pressing and holding the auxiliary hydraulic/changeover button (1) and pressing the back of the auxiliary hydraulics pedal (2) swivels the boom to the right.
WARNING Working with the boom swiveled to the side reduces lifting capacity. Overloading the bucket can cause an unstable condition and increase the possibility of tipping the machine.
Note: Bucket controls do not change when swiveling the boom.
The excavator boom can be swiveled from the front position 55º to the right and 75º to the left. This allows excavation of trenches along walls, fences, etc. See Figure 3-33.
When the auxiliary hydraulic/changeover button is pressed and boom swivel is enabled, indicator (3) is lit.
