Operating Guidelines

A. Travel & Throttle Use

The Wild-Cat WC-011 is designed primarily for excavation and light grading within the immediate job area.

• Avoid long-distance travel whenever possible.
• Do not operate at full throttle for extended travel.
• During extended travel, allow the machine to rest for 5 minutes after every 20 minutes of movement to prevent overheating or damage to the travel motor.

B. Soft or Wet Ground

Avoid operating the excavator in:

• Soft soil
• Wetland areas
• Muddy ground conditions

These conditions may cause the machine to sink or become unstable.

C. Obstacles

When traveling, avoid large obstacles such as:

• Large rocks
• Debris
• Uneven terrain

Obstacles may cause undercarriage damage or loss of balance.

D. Water Depth

Do not operate the excavator in water exceeding the manufacturer’s recommended depth limit.

Working in excessive water depth may cause serious damage to hydraulic and engine components.
