SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
TRENCHERS Keep equipment away from the trencher after it has been dug. The weight of the unit could cause a cave-in. Never drop a boom with a rapidly moving digging chain on the ground. The force of the trencher may cause the vehicle to move suddenly and unexpectedly. Have the chain moving slowly, and lower the boom carefully when starting a new cut. Use caution when digging on a slope. The natural vibration of the trencher will make the unit creep sideways downhill. Try to dig with the trencher in a level position. Never try to make sharp turns while trenching. The trencher boom could become wedged in the trench and damaged. Never attempt to free a stuck chain with the unit running. If the trencher does become jammed, stop the unit and visually inspect the situation. Check the trencher frequently for loose hardware and fittings. The natural vibration of the unit will cause fasteners to loosen during operation.

D PREOPERATION
625 TRENCHER
GENERAL INFORMATION The purpose of this manual is to assist in setting up, operating and maintaining your trencher. Read it carefully. It furnishes information and instructions that will help you achieve years of dependable performance. Right and left when referred to in this manual are determined by the operator's right and left when seated at the skid-steer controls in the normal operating position facing forward. The illustrations and date in this manual were current at the time of printing, however, we reserve the right to redesign and change the trencher as may be necessary without notification.
PREPARING THE SKID-STEER LOADER WARNING! Never let anyone operate this skid-steer loader and trencher without understanding all of the "Safety Precautions" and "Operating Instructions" located in this manual (see Sections B and G respectively). Always choose hard, level ground to park the skid-steer loader on and set the brake so that the skid-steer loader cannot roll. Your skid-steer MUST have auxiliary hydraulics to run the trencher. If your unit does not have an auxiliary hydraulic system, contact your skidsteer dealer for information on availability. The hydraulic kits for the 625 Trencher include two hoses that connect the trencher to the auxiliary hydraulic system. The 625 trencher was designed to be easy to use and maintain. The trencher mounts to the universal toolbar/attachment plate of the skid-steer. The mounting incorporates the quick attach mechanism of the skid-steer for fast, easy mounting. See your skid-steer operators manual on "Installing an Attachment" for the correct installation procedure. 8291 12-12-00
D PREOPERATION
625 TRENCHER
OPTIONS Eventually you may wish to dig a trench of a depth or width other than what your unit was originally equipped to dig. The 625 trencher can be fitted with optional booms, digging chains, sprockets and crumber assemblies to allow you to dig a variety of different sized trenches with a digging chain option of a tooth every station or every other station. The chart on the following page will give you an idea of the different trench depths and widths a properly equipped unit is capable of digging. For more detailed information on trencher options see Sections I & J of this manual. TRENCH DEPTHS* 30" 36" 42" 48" Depth Depth Depth Depth 6.00" 6.00" 6.00" 6.00" TRENCH WIDTHS 8.00" 8.00" 8.00" 8.00" 10.00" 10.00" 10.00" NA 12.00" 12.00" NA NA
*Trench depths are given with the digging boom at an optimum 65 digging angle and the skid shoe touching the ground. Trenches of various depths can be made by varying the digging angle and raising the trencher up higher. These methods are less efficient however.

F TRENCHER INSTALLATION
625 TRENCHER
GENERAL INFORMATION The following instructions will help you to mount your trencher on your skid-steer. The trencher uses the skid-steer's quick-change attaching system for ease on installation. Therefore, if you know how to attach the skid-steer loader bucket, attaching the trencher should prove no problem.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS 1. 2. If you have not done so already, remove the steel shipping banding from around the trencher and skid. Set the quick-change attaching lock on the skid-steer toolbar to the unlocked position. Lower the skid-steer loader arms and tilt the toolbar down low enough to pass under the top lip of the mounting kit adaptor plate. Following all standard safety practices, start the skid-steer and slowly drive it in back of the trencher. Position the skid-steer so that the top of the toolbar is in under the lip on the adaptor plate. Tilt the toolbar back to hook the trencher onto the toolbar. It may be necessary to lift the loader arm somewhat. Set the quick-change attaching lock to the locked position to secure the trencher. It may be necessary to raise, lower, or tilt the toolbar in order to the trencher and toolbar to properly align so the locking mechanism can be activated. With the auxiliary hydraulic system turned off, route the trencher hydraulic hoses over the top of the side shift mount and toolbar and connect to their proper auxiliary couplers. Complete the predelivery checklist located in the back of this manual (Section R). Trencher installation is not complete.

G OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CONTROLS 625 TRENCHER GENERAL INFORMATION Simplicity of operation is one of the key features of the 625 trencher. The trenchers themselves have no controls, just a few adjustments to check. It is important however, to be familiar with, and know the controls and adjustments on both the trencher and the skid steer. Such knowledge is crucial for safe, efficient operation of equipment. Take the time to learn how they operate now. SKID STEER Your trencher mounts to the toolbar / attachment plate of the skid steer. Due to this arrangement, thorough knowledge of the skid steer controls is necessary for trencher operation. Read your skid steer owner's manual for information regarding skid steer operation before attempting to use the trencher. RAISING / LOWERING THE TRENCHER Raise / lower the trencher unit by raising / lowering the skid steer loader arms through their appropriate skid steer controls. (See Figure #1) CAUTION! Become aware of any overhead power or telephone lines, tree limbs, etc., that the raised trencher could come into contact with. Contact with electrical lines could cause serious injury or death.

DOWN
SIDE SHIFTING THE TRENCHER Your trencher has an adjustment to shift the whole unit to the side on its own mount. To shift the unit sideways, first remove the locking pin from the back of the unit. Lower trencher until trencher frame is resting on the ground, then counter-rotate the tires so that the skid steer moves in a sideways motion. Continue moving until side shift holes are aligned and replace locking pin. IMPORTANT: Always reinstall the locking pin to prevent the trencher from shifting sideways during operation. NOTE: Slight shifting of the trencher from side to side may be necessary to align the side shift holes for reinstalling the locking pin. 8296 12-13-00
G OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CONTROLS 625 TRENCHER
STARTING AND STOPPING THE TRENCHER Power to the trencher is supplied by oil from the skid steer auxiliary hydraulic system, which passes through the hydraulic hoses and into the trencher's hydraulic motor. The trencher unit itself does not have an on/off control but is operated by the skid steer auxiliary hydraulic control mechanism. To start the trencher, engage the auxiliary hydraulics. (This is usually done by a pedal located in the middle of the skid steer floor. See your skid steer owner's manual.) To stop the trencher, disengage the auxiliary hydraulics. TRENCHER SPEED CONTROL Again it may be noted that power to the trencher is supplied by the skid steer's auxiliary hydraulics. Trencher speed and power are determined by the flow of oil coming out of the auxiliary system, which in turn is dependent upon skid steer engine speed. To increase trencher speed, increase skid steer engine speed, to decrease trencher speed, decrease skid steer engine speed. When first starting a trench throttle down the skid steer engine to half throttle. This will reduce the shock to the skid steer and trencher when the digging teeth first contact the ground. Once the trench is started, set the engine back to full throttle. For general use operate the trencher with the skid steer engine at full throttle to provide maximum power to the auxiliary hydraulics and thus the trencher. AUGER HEIGHT The auger is fixed to the trencher mainframe and has no separate adjustment. To raise the auger, raise the trencher as previously described. This will raise the auger and thus leave the dirt or spoil closer to the trench. Lowering the trencher will cause the auger to lower, moving the spoil away from the trench. The built-in skid shoe on the 625 trencher will prevent the auger from being lowered to the extent that the auger itself starts to dig in the ground as this will greatly reduce efficiency. 8297 12-13-00
G OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CONTROLS 625 TRENCHER
It should be noted that raising or lowering the trencher to change the auger height will also change the trenching depth. You will need to compensate for this by changing the tilt of the trencher down or up accordingly. (See Figure #3)
FIGURE #3
TRENCHER
CRUMBER SHOE/BAR ADJUSTMENT The purpose of the crumber shoe is to keep any loose dirt in the trench close enough to the digging chain so that the digging teeth can grab it and remove it. This will give you a cleaner finished trench. Your trencher has an adjustable crumber bar that can be lengthened or shortened to bring the crumber shoe closer or farther from the digging chain. To adjust the crumber bar length, loosen the two jam nuts found at the end of the mainframe crumber bar tube. Slide the bar in or out to achieve the desired spacing (we suggest a distance of about 4" between crumber shoe and digging teeth for best overall results). Tighten the set screws and jam nuts when finished. (See Figure #4 on the next page) 8298 12-13-00
G OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CONTROLS 625 TRENCHER FIGURE #4
SET SCREW
CRUMBER BAR
CHAIN TENSION ADJUSTMENT When trenching, the digging chain tension should be adjusted so that the chain is as loose as possible, without jumping off the sprocket or idler wheel. To do this, an adjustment is provided on the digging boom. These booms have an adjusting bolt on each side at the trencher end of the boom. The head of the bolts are kept from rotating by special tubes welded onto the mainframe. The end of the bolt rests in a tube welded to the boom. Each bolt has a jam nut and a .75" hex nut on it. To tighten the chain, "back off" the jam nut from the regular nuts. Now turn the standard nuts off the adjusting bolts. This will push the boom out and thus tighten the chain. Retighten the jam nut when finished. To loosen the chain, follow the same procedure, except turn the hex nut onto the adjusting bolt. (See Figure #5)

G OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CONTROLS 625 TRENCHER This procedure must be done simultaneously to both adjusting bolts to prevent the boom from becoming wedged onto its mount.
CAUTION!
Never work on, or make adjustments to any part of the trencher while the unit is running. You could get caught in the digging teeth which could cause severe injury or death.
It is common for your trencher to need its digging chain tightened after the first 10 to 20 minutes of operation as the chain and sprocket seat themselves.

OPERATING TECHNIQUES SKID STEER TRENCHERS GENERAL INFORMATION The design of your trencher makes it relatively simple to use. With the help of the information in this section and a little practice you should become proficient in it's operation in no time. Observe the following points to obtain the best results with the least amount of wear on the machine. Read the "Safety Precautions" section of this manual before you begin. (See Section B) CAUTION! Operate the trencher only when seated at the skid steer controls. Do not operate the skid steer without proper ROPS (Roll-OverProtective-Structure), seat belt, and hard hat. Pay attention to the job at hand. Be alert to the possibilities of others in the work area. Never let anyone work around, or perform maintenance on the trencher while it is running. Always use a crumber assembly on the trencher. BEFORE YOU START TRENCHING Before any excavating is started, it is always a good idea to plan out the job first. Various things need to be considered and taken into account prior to the actual trenching. The operator should inspect the job site and take notice on any potential hazards in the area. He should have a complete understanding of the task he is expected to perform. Figure out what will be done with the spoil (excavated soil), will it be used to backfill or be trucked out? What are the soil conditions like? Will you have to work around others? Etc. WARNING! Check the prospective trenching area for hidden utility lines before operating the trencher. Contacting a utility line with the trencher could cause electrocution resulting in death. Call all utility companies and have them plot out all their lines first. If you damage a utility line, shut off the equipment at once and contact the affected utility immediately. Once you have become familiar with the job site and understand the job requirements it is time to set up for the actual trenching. Check the soil type (hard, soft, rocky, etc.) and the trenching requirements (how deep, wide, etc.). Install the proper digging chain, sprocket, boom, crumber bar and shoe for the job at hand. Information on chains, sprockets, booms, crumber bars and shoes may be found in Sections I and J. 5788 2-26-92
G OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING TECHNIQUES SKID STEER TRENCHERS Locate the trencher on the mount with the side shift mechanism (as explained earlier in this section) where it will be most efficient and easy to use. Mark off the area to be trenched out. This can be done with powdered lime, chalk, or a guide string and stakes. Block off the area from all bystanders if possible. STARTING THE TRENCH Position the skid steer with the trencher boom directly over the center of the trench layout. It will take about 4' of trenching before the trencher will be able to operate at the desired level, so plan for this and position the trencher about 4' behind where you want the actual trench to start. NOTE: The skid steer is driven in reverse when trenching. You cannot trench driving the skid steer forward. Raise the trencher with the skid steer loader arms and tilt the trencher at a 45 angle. (See Figure #6) Position the unit so that the digging teeth are just above ground level. Set the skid steer throttle at half speed. Start the digging chain by engaging the skid steer auxiliary hydraulic system. FIGURE #6

G OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING TECHNIQUES SKID STEER TRENCHERS CAUTION! When lowering a moving digging chain to the ground the force of the teeth grabbing the ground will try to pull the trencher suddenly forward. Be prepared. Have the brake on the skid steer set to help counteract the force.
Slowly lower the digging chain into the ground to start the trench. Do this by lowering the trencher with the loader arms. Continue lowering the unit until the crumber end rolls all the bay back on the crumber bar (See Figure #7) IMPORTANT: After the crumber end has rolled all the way back, do not lower the trencher any farther without moving the skid steer in reverse. Failure to do so could result in bending of the crumber boom, which is not covered by warranty. FIGURE #7
LOADER ARM
Once the crumber end has "bottomed out", begin slowly creeping the skid steer in reverse while continuing to lower the loader arms. When nearing the required depth, stop lowering and tilt the trencher to a 60 to 65 angle. A 60 - 65 angle works best for general trenching. (See Figure #8) WARNING! Be alert to what is happening around you. Look behind you before reversing the skid steer to trench. Be aware of any person or thing in the path of the skid steer. Observe any terrain changes such as drop-offs or soft ground. 8302 1-26-01

G OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING TECHNIQUES SKID STEER TRENCHERS Raise the trencher so that the auger rides above the ground level to leave the spoil beside the trench. The higher the auger, the closer to the trench the spoil will be placed. You may find that it generally takes less power to run the digging chain if the auger runs 3" - 6" (inches) off the ground, and thus increasing the potential footage of trench produced per hour. The higher you want the auger, the more vertical you will have to tilt the trencher to achieve the same trench depth. (See Figure #10) FIGURE #10
INCREASED DIGGING ANGLE TO ACHIEVE THE SAME TRENCH DEPTH WITH AUGER RAISED AS IN FIGURE #9 SPOIL PILE TRENCH
With the desired trench depth reached, advance the skid steer throttle to the desired engine RPM (we suggest full throttle for maximum digging power). Continue creeping the skid steer in reverse. Monitor the skid steer hydraulic oil pressure and temperature gauges as you trench. If hydraulic oil temperature or pressure gets too high, reduce skid steer creeping speed to reduce the load on the auxiliary hydraulic system. IMPORTANT: Trying to trench at a speed faster than the auxiliary hydraulic system can handle could cause the trencher to stall. Continued stalling in a short period of time can cause excessive oil temperature which can lead to pump failure. Do not try to trench too much too quickly. If oil temperature becomes too hot, stop the trencher and allow the oil to cool. STALLING THE TRENCHER If the trencher stalls while digging, move the skid steer forward slightly to free the trencher. You may be able to free up the digging chain by changing its direction of travel with the auxiliary hydraulic controls. Repeated stalling of the trencher will cause oil to overheat rapidly and should be avoided. 8304 1-26-01
G OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING TECHNIQUES SKID STEER TRENCHERS TURNING WHILE TRENCHING Gradual turns can be made while trenching. However, the tightness of the turn is directly proportional to the angle and length of the boom. In other words the greater the angle of the trencher boom to the ground level, the sharper the turn that can be trenched. (See Figures #11 & #12) Also the shorter the boom length the sharper the possible turn. Remember, the greater the increase in boom angle the higher the unit will have to be raised out of the trench to keep a unified trench depth. Shallow boom angles will severely limit turning ability. IMPORTANT: Turning too tightly while trenching will cause the trencher to jam in the trench and stall, leading to excessive oil temperatures. Turning too tightly can also cause the trencher boom to bend. Take it easy when turning. Proceed slowly with caution. FIGURE #11

G OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING TECHNIQUES SKID STEER TRENCHERS MAKING SHARP TURNS To make sharp turns and 90 angles you will have to dig two trenches. Dig the first trench as you normally would. Then reposition the unit and dig the second trench at the appropriate angle. Be sure to take into account the extra lead-in space needed for the trencher to get down to the desired trench depth. (See Figure #13) FIGURE #13
1st TRENCH
TOP VIEW
RECOMMENDED DIGGING ANGLES A 90 digging angle is recommended for use in rock and frost conditions, and when trenching sharp corners. The 90 angle reduces excessive side pressure on the boom and digging chain when trenching corners. (See Figure #14) A 60 - 65 digging angle is recommended for normal trenching. At this angle there will be less carry-over, and a cleaner trench bottom can be maintained than at a 90 angle. (See Figure #14) FIGURE #14

G OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING TECHNIQUES SKID STEER TRENCHERS TRENCHING WITHOUT THE CRUMBER ASSEMBLY WARNING! The crumber bar and crumber shoe assembly are there for a reason, YOUR SAFETY! There are a few instances where removal may be necessary however. In these cases operate with extreme caution. Reinstall the crumber bar and crumber shoe as soon as possible. You can use your trencher to dig under obstacles such as sidewalks. To do so, remove the crumber shoe and bar assembly and start your trench as before within a foot of the sidewalk. With the crumber bar and shoe removed you can start the trench vertically without any lead-in space. When the desired depth has been reached, tilt the trencher at a 60 angle while digging, then creep the skid steer forward and trench under the sidewalk. Be careful not to contact the edge of the sidewalk with the digging teeth. After you have gone as far as you can without contacting the sidewalk, drive the skid steer in reverse to clear the sidewalk and remove the trencher from the trench. Line up the unit on the other side of the walk and continue to trench as described above until the two trenches are connected. (See Figure #15) FIGURE #15

Reinstall the crumber bar and crumber shoe assembly immediately. Some spoil will be left in the trench since the crumber was removed during the operation. 5795 2-26-92
G OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING TECHNIQUES SKID STEER TRENCHERS ENDING A TRENCH When you have dug your trench, remember that the trencher boom is at an angle, and that you must continue trenching until the end of the boom has dug past the proposed end of the trench. Once the end of the trench has been dug, keep the trencher running and lift the skid steer loader arms to lift the unit clear of the trench. When the trencher has cleared the trench, disengage the auxiliary hydraulics to stop the trencher. Drive the skid steer away from the trench. TRANSPORTING THE TRENCHER When transporting the trencher, remember to keep the trencher as low to the ground as is practical. The lower the trencher rides, the more stable the skid steer will be. You do not want the trencher so low that the digging teeth touch the ground in rough terrain. Shut off the trencher before moving it away from the trench. Never transport the trencher around the job site or anywhere else while the digging chain is moving. TRENCHER PERFORMANCE Remember that your trencher's performance is directly related to the power available at you skid steer's auxiliary hydraulic system. If the trencher seems to lack power or speed, it may be due to your skid steer's lack of sufficient auxiliary power. Trencher performance is also related to how well it's maintained, digging tooth wear, and type and size of digging chain, crumber boom and shoe used. For more information on proper maintenance and chain wear see Section L. For information on chain, sprocket, boom, and crumber options see Sections I and J. If problems arise see "Trouble Shooting" Section N.

The 625 Trencher has a heavy weight chain with a tensil strength of 50,000 pounds and a pitch of 2.00". There is one thing that you must understand about chain pitch. You can not intermix components of different pitches. You cannot substitute chain links of different pitches in a digging chain. Nor can you use a digging chain of one pitch, with a driver sprocket of a different pitch. Attempting to do so will cause the chain to "jump" off the sprocket continuously.
8307 1-26-01
DIGGING STATIONS Digging chains are made up of a series of individual links pinned together. Every link has a special "Digging Station" link. These links are designed so that the digging teeth can be attached to the basic chains (See Figure 4). Digging chains may be purchased in any length, with or without teeth. All chains, teeth, spacers and assorted digging hardware may be purchased separately. FIGURE #4

This completes the basic information on digging chain options. The rest of this section contains specific information on digging chains and parts available, complete with part numbers. Again it may be noted that these options are designed to increase the flexability of your equipment and to make your trenching jobs easier. We offer them to better serve your trenching needs. 8308 1-26-01
GENERAL INFORMATION This page contains a listing of all of the 2.00" pitch digging chain assemblies offered for your trencher. Each chain assembly comes with all necessary teeth and spacers already installed. Just thread the chain onto the trencher and fasten the two ends together with the pin and keeper pin included in the assembly. A crumber shoe of the appropriate width is also included in the chain assembly. Before you order a new chain, be sure to check for compatibility with corresponding components. You may need to order more than just a chain assembly. You must use a digging boom of the same digging depth as the chain. The crumber bar must also be of the same digging depth. The digging sprocket must also be of the same pitch as the chain. All of these components must match for the trencher to function properly. Bare 2.00" pitch digging chain (without teeth, spacers, or hardware) can be ordered in any desired length under the part number 79018. Just use this number and then specifiy the length desired in pitches (example, 54 pitches of chain would be needed for a 36" boom). 2.00" PITCH DIGGING CHAIN ASSEMBLIES Complete chain assemblies.

2.00" PITCH DIGGING CHAIN TOOTH STATION SEQUENCE GENERAL INFORMATION Every second link on a digging chain is a special link called a digging station. These digging station links are designed so that digging teeth can be bolted onto them in a variety of configurations. It is the number and the make up of these different digging stations that make each chain unique. The following pages show the various chains available for 2.00" pitch trenchers. The digging tooth make up of each digging station is given in code. The key to the code is listed below. Thus the chain assembly diagrams will show you the order of the digging stations on each digging chain. The actual parts break down of each digging tooth station is also shown on the following pages.

GENERAL INFORMATION Digging chains can be modified to dig trenches in a variety of widths. By modifying an existing chain, it can be used to dig the width you want and thus save going the expense of a whole new digging chain assembly. This can be a considerable cost savings, however it is more work than just installing a new digging chain assembly. The information given below is a complete listing of all the possible chain width conversions for 2.00" pitch chain for your trencher. Included in the listing is a break down of all the parts (including part numbers and quantities) needed to make the conversion. Simply install the new parts (and rearrange the old parts) so that the finished chain construction follows that described in the Digging Tooth Station Sequence chart and the Digging Tooth Station Break Down diagrams for 2.00" pitch chain (located elsewhere in this section). It should be noted that this information only applies to modifying chains of the same length and pitch. All components must be of the same pitch. You cannot intermix components of different pitch.

MAINTENANCE
GENERAL MAINTENANCE GENERAL INFORMATION Your trencher was designed to be virtually maintenance free. Very little effort is needed to keep it in top condition. It is however important to follow these procedures to get full performance and longevity out of the trencher. LUBRICATION The only lubrication your trencher needs is the greasing of the headshaft end bearing. The bearing should be lubricated with an SAE multipurpose grease every 8 hours of operation. A grease zerk is installed in the bearing to facilitate this task. NOTE: Not all trenchers require lubricating of the headshaft bearing. Some units have a sealed bearing that requires no maintenance. These units can be identified by the absence of a grease zerk in the bearing. IMPORTANT: DO NOT lubricate any other part of the trencher! Lubricating parts such as the digging chain or the idler wheel will only attract dirt, resulting in increased wear. EVERY 40 HOURS OF OPERATION Every 40 hours of operation the trencher should be inspected for loose nuts, capscrews, bearings etc. Tighten as required, replace where necessary. Clean equipment of all dirt, oil, grease, etc. This will assist you in making visual inspections and help avoid overlooking worn or damaged components. Keep all safety decals clean and legible. Replace if damaged or worn. DIGGING TOOTH REPLACEMENT Sharp teeth are important to good performance. When teeth wear out, production will drop sharply, increasing wear and tear on other components. Cup teeth wear on the tip and side bulge in varying amounts. Wear patterns change with different digging conditions. The following patterns and captions are approximate and should be used as a guide to help you determine your own best cost/benefit tooth replacement time. Normal replacement should be made between 30% and 60% reduction in performance. Replacement is a bolt-on procedure. See Section J.

STORAGE
625 TRENCHER
GENERAL INFORMATION The following storage procedures will help you to keep your trencher in top condition. They will also help you get off to a good start the next time your trencher is needed. We therefor strongly recommend that you take the extra time to follow these procedures whenever your trencher will not be used for an extended period of time.
PREPARATION FOR STORAGE 1. Clean the trencher exterior thoroughly, removing all mud, dirt, and grease. Tighten all loose bolts, nuts, and set screws. Touch up unpainted and exposed areas with paint to prevent rust. Coat the digging chain with a thin covering of oil. Operate chain for a short period to work the oil into the pins. Store the trencher in a dry and protected place. Leaving the trencher outside, exposed to the elements will materially shorten its life. Inspect trencher for visible signs of wear, breakage or damage. Order any parts required and make necessary repairs to avoid delays when starting next season. Replace operating decals if damaged or in unreadable condition.

N TROUBLE SHOOTING
625 TRENCHER
GENERAL INFORMATION Your trencher was designed to be as simple and as trouble free as possible. The purpose of this section is to help you in the event that a problem does develop. Why we cannot possibly cover every problem that might occur, you will find that those that are most common are covered here. PROBLEM: Digging chain will not turn POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY: 1. Quick coupler not completely engaged. Check to see that all couplers are matched pairs and engaged correctly. Check coupler hook-up information (See Section E) for proper hydraulic hose routing. Quick coupler failure. Check couplers for dirt, rust, or other contaminates that could effect coupler engagement. Clean or replace couplers as needed. Obstruction in hydraulic hose. Remove hydraulic hoses and couplers one at a time and check flow through hose by blowing through the hose or by pouring hydraulic fluid through the hose. Clean or replace hose as needed. Skid steer relief valve stuck open. Have relief valve serviced and checked by an authorized dealer. Skid steer auxiliary valve not operating properly. See skid steer operator's manual or dealer for information and help. Hydraulic motor failed. Be sure you have hydraulic flow to the motor. If oil flow to motor is good, but motor will still not turn when detached from trencher headshaft, remove motor and have it serviced or replaced as needed. Headshaft bearings failed. Inspect headshaft bearings for free movement. Check for binding or foreign matter jamming bearing. Clean or replace as necessary. Boom end bearing failed. Inspect boom end bearing for free movement. Check for binding or foreign matter jamming bearing. Clean or replace as necessary.

Digging chain to tight. Digging chain should only be tight enough to remain on sprockets while turning under load. Their should be some sag in the chain. If too tight, loosen chain by the adjusting nut(s) on the boom. Sand build-up in tooth root of sprocket. Sand can build up in the sprockets effectively increasing the chain tension. Raise the boom out of the ditch and reverse the digging chain on the trencher, then run the trencher out of the trench to clear the sprockets. Reinstall the chain in its correct digging direction and readjust chain tension. Digging sprocket clamp loose on headshaft. Observe if the headshaft is turning. If shaft is turning but sprocket is not, stop the trencher and tighten the sprocket clamp.

PROBLEM: Trencher does not dig fast enough POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY: 1. Digging teeth worn. See maintenance Section L in this manual. Inspect teeth and replace as needed. Skid steer relief valve set too low. See skid steer operator's manual and or dealer for proper relief valve service and adjustment. Quick coupler or hose restriction. Inspect couplers and hoses for dirt, rust, and other contaminates and repair or replace as needed. Hydraulic system over heating. Shut the trencher and skid steer down and allow oil to cool. Repeated stalling of the trencher will cause the oil to over heat. Avoid excessive stalling. Cutting a ditch size beyond the ability of the skid steer. Your trencher is powered by oil from the skid steers auxiliary hydraulic system. The horsepower transmitted through the auxiliary hydraulics is substantially less than that of the engine.

Quick coupler or hose restriction. Inspect couplers and hoses for dirt, rust, and other contaminates and repair or replace as needed. Motor or hose size not balanced to skid steer. A hose or a motor that is too small can cause added internal friction and resultant heat build-up. Check mounting kit parts list and diagram (See Section E) for proper hose size and type. Skid steer not equipped with oil cooler or sufficient sump capacity. Check with your skid steer dealer for information and availability of auxiliary cooling and sump kits. Install if available. If not available stop skid steer and trencher and allow them to cool when they get too hot.
