Initiate Trench Digging

What happens here

With the mini-excavator ready, the operator begins the process of digging a trench. They position the machine and use a shovel placed in the ground as a reference point for where they believe an existing water line runs, guiding their initial excavation efforts. The digging is initiated by lowering the excavator's bucket into the ground and pulling it back to scoop out the initial soil, forming the start of the trench.

Goal: The operator begins digging the trench with the mini-excavator, using a shovel as a visual marker for a suspected water line.
