In order to maintain your trencher at its best performance,
regular maintenance is required. We recommend the following:
Service
and oil change
1.Change the gear oil within the first 30 hours of extreme work,
within 50 hours of moderate work or otherwise within the first 3 months.
2.After the first service, the gear oil must be changed every
300-500 hours
3.Check your gear box oil level every 10 hours of operation:
Locate the level bung at the 2 o’clock position and make sure that the fill
bung is centred and the trencher level. Top up your gear oil through the fill
bung until the oil can be seen exiting the level oil
4.Carry out a full service every 12 months by a trained and
authorised Digga technician
Pre-operational
checks
1.Visually inspect your trencher and components
2.Check that all nuts and bolts are in place and properly
tightened
3.Check all fittings and hydraulic hoses are tightened and secure
4.Check that safety stickers are in plain sight and legible
5.Check externally for any oil leakage around hoses, fitting,
motor and gearbox.
6.Check any war and tear on linkages and pins, chains and teeth
Adjust
your trenching depth
Loosen and remove two 28mm mounting nuts and washes
Once unbolted, you can remove the skid plate and rotate until
the mounting the holes line up with bolts again at your desired depth setting
(refer to your operator’s manual for depth charts and further information
Refit
washes and nuts and tighten.
Adjust
your trencher chain
1.Remove the 14mm bolts holding the adjustments spanner to the
trencher boom
2.Use the adjustment spanner to turn and adjust the nut clockwise
for loosening or anti-clockwise for tightening
3.To achieve the correct chain tension, check the adjustment at
mid-way point of your chain. Allow for 20-30mm of vertical movement between
chain and boom.

Trencher
wear parts – what to consider
Trencher teeth wear on the tip and side bulge in
varying amounts. In the video below, Anthony covers the different wear parts on our
range of trenchers, so you can work more efficiently for longer.
When do I need to exchange my trencher teeth?
Keep an eye on the wear of your trencher teeth, as this will affect your trenching efficiency over time. Worn teeth will start to inhibit the ability of the chain to penetrate the ground, meaning you’ll just be labouring your machine up and burning extra fuel.
To make sure this doesn’t happen, watch Anthony explain how to determine when the trencher teeth are worn out.
Having trouble operating your Digga bucket broom? There are a few tips and tricks when it comes to brush adjustment & height, rotation direction and the broom emptying procedure. We've summarised them for you below. Direction of travel and brush rotation Always sweep at a high enough brush speed and low ground speed to effectively discharge the material being swept. Brush height adjustment Remove the handle pin, twist the handle, and replace the pin. Re-adjust the axle to the correct height using both handle adjusters. Return handles to their original position. Correct Brush Height Set the height of the brush so the bottom of the brush is approximately 30mm lower than the bucket cutting edge. The brush must be level. Emptying Procedure When the bucket requires emptying, stop the rotation of the brush, lift your loader arms and crowd the bucket forward so the Bucket Broom hood swings away from the bucket. Examples of Damaged Bucket...

Rotating rock picks, are the auger teeth used on our Digga dedicated rock augers (DR) for drilling from soft rock to hard fracturable rock. Here are some things you can observe to determine whether the rock picks are worn: The teeth need to rotate while drilling to maintain an efficient cutting tip. The tungsten tip and tooth should be evenly pointed. Poorly maintained teeth reduce cutting efficiency and wear out faster costing time and money. We recommend you replace worn teeth immediately! Tip: the outside teeth (C) will wear the fastest as they are travelling the greatest distance so will need replacing more often. Try swapping the outer tooth for an inner tooth to keep the wear even. Always use your best teeth on the outside pockets. Here are some examples or rotating rock picks in various states of wear. Tooth A has not been rotating in the pocket and as a result the tooth is uneven and will cut poorly. We recommend changing this tooth. You may also notice if the tungsten tip has...
