What happens here

The host demonstrates several *incorrect* and *unsafe* ways to set up the TLB for digging. These include: 1. Lifting the machine too high with the front bucket and outriggers, which raises the center of gravity and makes it unstable. 2. Not deploying outriggers or the front bucket sufficiently, leaving the machine prone to rocking. 3. Lifting an uphill outrigger first on uneven terrain, which can cause the machine to tip over. He emphasizes that TLBs are inherently 'tippy' and require careful stabilization.

Goal: Identify and avoid unsafe stabilization practices during TLB digging operations.

it doesn't matter if you do a point at a time or not typically you can do a note at the same time you're on uneven ground you always wanted tipped sideways like this you want to put that out there your dog seen it before you put that the ice hillside especially a excessively [Applause] this is so compared to other things that you've operated now as your outriggers are down you want to use your sense of balance to make sure that you're perfectly level with y'all [Applause] let's go into a bad day [Applause] so what we're going to show you is what I call an overly aggressive position and the reason I don't recommend it is because it raises your center of gravity [Applause] so this is me [Applause] bad scenario
