WARNING
¡ ¡
¡ ¡ ¡
Never allow anyone to enter the turning
radius and machine path.
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
Signal your intention to move by
sounding the horn.
¡ ¡
¡ ¡ ¡
Traveling and turning should be
performed with the bucket cylinder
fully retracted and the bucket at a
height of approximately 30 cm (12 in.)
from the ground.
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
Avoid sudden stops, start or turns.
¡ ¡
¡ ¡ ¡
Do not raise the safety bar while
traveling. This is dangerous, since
raising the safety bar will cause the
parking brake of the traveling motor to
operate and apply the brake abruptly.
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
Do not switch off the starter switch
while traveling. Doing so will cause
sudden braking and is dangerous.
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
Before backing up, visually check for
safety to the rear. Backing up without
checking could result in contact with a
worker or obstacle.
¡ ¡
¡ ¡ ¡
If unavoidable while traveling, when
operating the working equipment, do
so with care.
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
Avoid crossing over obstacles
whenever possible. If you must do so,
keep the bucket close to the ground
and travel slowly. Never cross
obstacles if they will seriously tilt the
machine (to an angle of 15
°
or greater).
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
When traveling on rough terrain or
when carrying a load, lower the load
and travel slowly.
¡ ¡
¡ ¡ ¡
Remove any obstacles in the
machine’s path.
Use the left control lever to operate the
crawler belts.
Return the left control lever to the neutral
position to stop the crawler belts.
1. Increase the engine speed.
2. Set the safety bar to the released position.
3. Rollback the bucket fully and lift the bucket
to 30 cm (12 in.) above the ground.
