What happens here
Once the desired length of the trench has been dug, slowly raise the trencher chain out of the ground. Drive the machine to a safe parking location. Turn off the engine and allow it to cool. After operation, inspect the trencher for wear or damage, especially the chain teeth. Clear any accumulated soil or debris from the machine. The excavated soil piled on the sides of the trench can then be used for backfilling after pipes or cables are laid, or removed from the site.
Goal: Safely conclude trenching and prepare for post-digging tasks
